Faba bean is a nutritionally and medicinally rich popular legume crop. However, vicine-convicine remain as potential threats for "favism" in human beings. In this study, 189 diverse faba bean accessions have been evaluated for yield component traits and vicine content in seeds followed by a correlation study.

Article Synopsis
- Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have made hepatitis C treatment much easier, but there’s limited info on how they work for patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd).
- A study looked at 2754 HCV-positive patients from 2015 to 2023, focusing on 38 with confirmed G6PDd, while monitoring their health closely during and after treatment.
- Results showed no significant health issues or adverse events related to the treatment, with effectiveness similar to those without G6PDd, indicating that DAAs are safe for HCV treatment in these patients.
Anesthetic management of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is the most common enzyme disease of red blood cells, with around 400 million people suffering from it throughout the world and linked to the X chromosome inheritance, thus it predominantly affects men. Glucose 6-phosphate-dehydrogenase participates in the pentose-phosphate pathway, being responsible for cellular metabolism and the production of antioxidants. A deficiency of this enzyme alters its ability to protect red blood cells from oxidative stress caused by certain drugs, metabolic conditions, infections and food.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is an uncommon inherited enzyme deficiency characterized by hemolytic anemia, caused by the inability of erythrocytes to detoxify oxidizing agents such as drugs, infectious diseases, or fava bean ingestion. In this later case, the disorder is known as favism. The aim of the present report was to present a review of the literature in this disease, to describe a case report concerning an affected 9-year-old male, and to review the main implications and precautions in pediatric dental management.

We report the case of an 82-year-old Sardinian woman affected by "favism" (i.e. intolerance to fava beans) with chest pain associated with persistent massive ST elevation in V2-V6 leads, admitted to our department after transfer from a rural hospital without catheterization facilities.
