Emerging pathogens present a significant societal threat, and biological protection textiles are expected to play a pivotal role in controlling their spread. However, incorporating highly effective pathogen transmission-blocking abilities into textiles while ensuring their large-scale production remains challenging. This work has successfully developed a hierarchically structured coating for cotton fibers, which exhibits enhanced antiviral and antibacterial functionalities compared to existing phenolic coating methods.

Description: Nonampullary duodenal polyps are found in up to 5% of all upper endoscopies; the vast majority are identified incidentally in asymptomatic patients. Although most are benign, adenomas are estimated to account for 10%-20% of these lesions. Most international guidelines recommend that all duodenal adenomas should be considered for endoscopic resection; this may be associated with a near 15% adverse event rate (predominantly bleeding and perforation) in prospective studies, with substantial local recurrence on surveillance.

Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Section of Dermatology, University of Messina, Messina 98125, Italy. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Acral warts, common on hands and feet, can be treated with conventional photodynamic therapy (C-PDT), which has been effective and safe for both adults and children, but the efficacy of daylight photodynamic therapy (DL-PDT) is still unclear.
  • A study involving 68 patients aimed to compare the short- and long-term effects of C-PDT and DL-PDT using 10% aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on hand warts, with evaluations of responses occurring at 3 months and 1 year post-treatment.
  • Results showed that both treatments were generally effective and well-tolerated, with a majority of patients experiencing excellent responses; however, a notable percentage had warts relapse a year later
