The University of Iowa College of Medicine histology teaching laboratory incorporates extensive Web- and computer-based teaching modalities, including the Virtual Microscope (VM), as emerging learning aids in histology and pathology laboratory instruction. We report here our experience in offering a multiple resource-based approach to laboratory instruction while retaining the opportunity and requirement of examining actual microscopic slide preparations with the microscope. Acceptance of this approach has been high among our students and faculty, and performance levels established over years of teaching histology by traditional means have been maintained.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a significant global health concern linked to various cancers, particularly cervical cancer. Timely and accurate detection of HPV is crucial for effective management and prevention strategies. Traditional laboratory-based HPV testing methods often suffer from limitations such as long turnaround times, restricted accessibility, and the need for trained personnel, especially in resource-limited settings.

With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, soil contamination has become a significant environmental issue, and the heavy metal contamination of soils is an important part of it. The main methods for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils include physical methods, chemical methods, biological methods, and combined remediation methods have been proposed as research deepens. However, the standards and evaluation methods for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils are still not well-established.

Irregular illumination is a newly discovered ambient factor that affects dietary and metabolic processes. However, the effect of the modulation of long-term light exposure on appetite and metabolism remains elusive. Therefore, in this current study, we systematically investigated the effects of up to 8 weeks of exposure to red (RL), green (GL), and white light (WL) environments on appetite, food preferences, and glucose homeostasis in mice on both high-fat and low-fat dietary patterns.

Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, Piazzale Salvatore Tommasi 1, Blocco 11, Coppito, 67010 L'Aquila, Italy.
Background/objectives: Infectious diseases represent a serious threat due to rising antimicrobial resistance, particularly among multidrug-resistant bacteria and influenza viruses. Metal-based complexes, such as -heterocyclic carbene-gold (NHC-gold) complexes, show promising therapeutic potential due to their ability to inhibit various pathogens.
Methods: Eight NHC-gold complexes were synthesized and tested for antibacterial activity against , , and for anti-influenza activity in lung and bronchial epithelial cells infected with influenza virus A/H1N1.
