The combination of mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy with multivariate analysis provides an original approach to study the profile of virgin olive oils (VOOs) in relation to composition and geographical origin. Chemometric treatment of mid-infrared spectra (n=402) is assessed for quantification of fatty acids (14 components) and triacylglycerols (19 components) in VOO samples and for classification into six very geographically closed registered designations of origin (RDOs) of French VOO ("Aix-en-Provence", "Haute-Provence", "Vallée des Baux de Provence", "Nice", "Nîmes", and "Nyons"). Spectroscopic interpretation of regression vectors has shown that each RDO is correlated to one specific component of VOO according to their cultivar compositions. The results are satisfactory, in spite of the similarity of cultivar compositions between two denominations of origin ("Aix-en-Provence" and "Vallée des Baux de Provence"). Chemometric treatment of MIR spectra makes it possible to obtain similar results to those obtained by time-consuming analytical techniques such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and constitutes a fast and robust tool for authentication of these French VOOs.

Background: The detection of genetic sequences represents the gold standard procedure for species discrimination, genetic characterisation of tumours, and identification of pathogens. The development of new molecular detection methods, accessible and cost effective, is of great relevance. Biosensors based on plasmonic nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), provide a powerful and versatile platform for highly sensitive, economic, user-friendly and label-free sensing.

Introduction: Although the administration of activated charcoal (AC) is considered safe, the associated risk of pulmonary aspiration explains certain reluctance of physicians to use this procedure. The objective of this study was to analyse the rate of pulmonary aspiration in children receiving AC after accidental ingestion of a toxic substance.
Methods: We carried out a substudy of a multicentre prospective registry-based cohort study including children presenting with acute poisoning to 58 paediatric emergency department (EDs) members of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Emergency Medicine between 2008 and 2022 on certain previously designated days.

This paper deals with neuro-registration using tele-manipulation (Master-Slave Manipulation) to facilitate tele-surgery and enhance the overall accuracy and reach of the robot-assisted neurosurgery. Accurate Neuro-registration is important as the success of the surgical procedure highly depends on it. A 6-degree-of-freedom Parallel Kinematic Mechanism (6D-PKM) master-slave robot in tele-manipulation mode is utilized for both neuro-registration and neurosurgery.
