Background: The present research aims to obtain information on cancer deaths in the five Latium provinces in the years 2006-2010 and to highlight similarities and differences between them.
Methods: The survey was carried through statistical elaboration of cancer mortality data for the years 2006-2010 obtained from the National Institute of Statistics.
Results: The mortality due to oncological diseases in Rieti province showed a decreasing temporal trend for the years investigated. Among all the Latium provinces, Rieti presented the lowest standardized mortality rates. This phenomenon could be related to specific environmental conditions and low levels of air, water and soil pollution affecting the Rieti province.
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the "healthy" environment of Rieti province could be considered as a benchmark for studies in oncological diseases.

Reuse of reclaimed wastewater (RWW) in agriculture represents one of the key strategies to promote for reducing the pressures on water sources, as also fostered by the EU governance. Indeed, the European Regulation 741/2020 on water reuse, entered into force in 2023, was issued with the aim to extend the reuse of treated water in agriculture under safe conditions. It establishes the minimum quality requirements; it also foresees the possibility to add additional requirements, especially for contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), based on "scientific evidence" and the risk assessment.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the prevalence and distribution of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) in the Lazio region using healthcare databases from 2006 to 2019.
- Researchers found a total of 18,371 cases, resulting in an overall prevalence of 5.03 per 1000 people, with notable variations based on age and geographical areas within the region.
- The findings indicated that SSD is more prevalent among older adults and men, with conditions like schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder being the most common, highlighting the importance of using administrative data for epidemiological research.
Background: Colorectal cancer currently presents the third-highest incidence of cancers worldwide, making secondary prevention through screening programs for colorectal cancer, usually by Fecal Occult Blood Testing, an essential preventive medicine intervention. First-degree relatives of colorectal cancer patients are a particularly at-risk group, with indications to consider direct screening by full colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing colorectal cancer, as it has high sensitivity and specificity, and is both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

Trichinellosis is a globally diffused foodborne parasitic disease caused by nematodes of the complex. During evolution, guided by ecological interactions, natural selection, and biochemical "intelligence", these parasites developed admirable strategies to infect the host's organism. One of the most fascinating is represented by the nurse cell formation in muscular tissue (.
