Published: November 2024

Foodborne diseases can be prevented by implementing a food safety system that manages food chain risks from producer to end-user, from a One Health perspective. In 2017, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted Regulation No. 625 on official food controls and other official activities performed to ensure the application of food and feed laws and rules on animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection products. Italy issued a national law, Legislative Decree No. 27/2021, to adapt and adhere to European standards. We aim to describe the adoption and implementation of the new Legislative Decree by an Italian Food Hygiene and Nutrition Service, specifically focusing on the amendments introduced by Articles 7 and 8, namely the establishment of the second expert opinion and dispute procedures, and their integration with the promulgation of Article 70 of Legislative Decree No. 150/2022. These modifications aim to reduce the number of minor offenses that proceed to trial.

We adopted a morphometric approach to provide statistical support for the description of two different morphotypes (I, reproductive, II, non-reproductive) firstly observed in specimens caught in a population from Sardinia Island (western Mediterranean). The morphometric study was preceded by molecular taxonomic identification using the mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. The presence or absence of the pathogen , responsible for the plague, was also investigated using the ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) marker.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Center of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Medical Information Technology, Department of Biomedical Sciences and Public Health, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, 60126, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how full vaccination and the timing of vaccinations affected SARS-CoV-2 infection rates among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Italy's Marche Region.
  • 81.2% of HCWs in the cohort were fully vaccinated, with factors such as age, role, and prior health status influencing vaccination rates.
  • Vaccination reduced infection risk by 77%, particularly for those vaccinated earlier, highlighting the need for effective vaccination strategies for all HCWs.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of pathological proteins and synaptic dysfunction. This study aims to investigate the molecular and functional differences between human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) derived from patients with sporadic AD (sAD) and age-matched controls (healthy subjects, HS), focusing on their neuronal differentiation and synaptic properties in order to better understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying AD pathology.

Methods: Skin fibroblasts from sAD patients (n = 5) and HS subjects (n = 5) were reprogrammed into hiPSCs using non-integrating Sendai virus vectors.

[Newborn hearing and eye screenings: recommendations].

Epidemiol Prev

December 2024

Centro Nazionale Malattie Rare, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Roma;

Hearing and vision disorders in newborns are a serious social and public health problem. To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of screening protocols, it is necessary to use standardized procedures and ensure their implementation at a national level. This is the first set of Italian national practice recommendations for professionals involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of hearing and eye screening that will guide the development of multidisciplinary services and public health policies to prevent and/or treat hearing and vision impairment in newborns.
