The Authors have investigated the frequency of hypertension (systolic, diastolic, systo-diastolic, severe and borderline, sustained and labile) in 2 groups, respectively of 738 and 1041 school children between 11 and 14 years of age, from the provinces of Ferrara and Rovigo. The percentile graphic representations and the frequency of different types of hypertension have been compared in these two parallel studies; a correlation of statistical significance has been shown between hypertension and obesity in the Ferrara group, while a similar correlation between hypertension and familiarity for hypertension has been demonstrated in the Rovigo group.

More Than Meets the Eye: Unraveling the Interactions Between Skin Microbiota and Habitat in an Opportunistic Amphibian.

With amphibians still holding the record as the most threatened class of terrestrial vertebrates, their skin microbiota has been shown to play a relevant role in their survival in a fast-changing world. Yet little is known about how abiotic factors associated with different aquatic habitats impact these skin microorganisms. Here we chose the yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata), a small anuran that colonizes a wide range of wetland habitats, to investigate how the diversity and composition of both its bacterial and fungal skin communities vary across different habitats and with water characteristics (temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen) of these habitats.

Objective: The first-episode psychosis (FEP) and clinical high-risk (CHR) team within the child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) service receives referrals by psychiatric units, CAMH service, schools, and general practitioners. This audit evaluated the implementation of the FEP-CHR team in Ferrara, Italy.
Methods: The FEP-CHR team provides standardised assessment and up to 2-year individualised treatment including pharmacological prescription, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, and vocational activities.

Cervical cancer is one of the deadly diseases that affects women, which requires periodic examinations to identify and treat any cancerous tumors at a preliminary stage. The most prevalent examination tool for cervical cancer prompt identification is the cervical smear (Pap smear) testing; however, due to human negligence, this examination method has an elevated probability of negative findings. Cervical cancer classification using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) has been extensively studied to enhance the conventional diagnostic process.

Article Synopsis
- Brucella abortus is a zoonotic pathogen that primarily affects cattle and buffaloes, with ongoing issues of brucellosis in certain areas of Italy, including Caserta.
- Despite eradication programs and vaccination efforts, brucellosis remains endemic in some regions.
- A study sequenced 44 B. abortus strains from 2017-2022 in Caserta and compared them to other Italian strains, revealing low genetic diversity and fewer circulating lineages due to successful eradication efforts.
Additional sources of salinity and heavy metals from plant residues of peaty horizons in the Po River lowland (Italy).

Article Synopsis
- The Po River lowland in Italy is experiencing soil and water salinization due to saline groundwater seepage, primarily influenced by paleo-saline porewaters in soil layers.
- A 2-hectare agricultural field, located below sea level and facing reduced crop yields, was studied using soil samples to analyze salinity levels and water availability.
- Findings revealed an average porewater salinity of 8.2 g/L, with connections between trace elements and saline soil layers, and suggested that plant tissue fragments could be a long-term source of salinization, overlooked in previous studies.
