The Mediterranean diet: a historical perspective
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2024 Mar 23;36(1):78. doi: 10.1007/s40520-023-02686-3.ABSTRACTThe Mediterranean diet, which was born in the Mediterranean basin, was initially quite poor and simple, essentially based on the products that grew almost spontaneously along the shores of the Mediterranean, i.e., olives, grapes, and wheat, which were long cultivated in the Mediterranean region. The invasions of the Roman Empire by barbarian populations, between 400 and 800 AD, made the diet enriched with products from wild uncultivated areas, meat from game and pigs, and vegetables. With the arrival of the Arabs in southern Italy in the nint...

Unveiling the intriguing grape ‐like mass: Uterine cervical adenosarcoma
(A) Anterior view of the cervical mass displaying a distinctive cluster-of-grapes-like morphology. (B) Distinct cluster of grapes-like morphology observed in the cervical mass (posterior view). (C) Histological evaluation of the cervical mass revealed a phyllodes-like growth pattern with characteristic subepithelial neoplastic stromal condensation (cambium layer), (Hematoxylin and eosin, magnification ×40). (D) Intraglandular projections and leaf-like (phyllodes-like) architecture, (Hematoxylin and eosin, magnification ×100). Key Clinical MessageAdenosarcoma of the uterine cervix should be considered in the evaluation of...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1394: Preparation and Characterization of Pullulan-Based Packaging Paper for Fruit Preservation
ian
Improving the shelf lives of fruits is challenging. The biodegradable polysaccharide pullulan exhibits excellent film-forming ability, gas barrier performance, and natural decomposability, making it an optimal material for fruit preservation. To overcome problems of high cost and film porosity of existing packaging technologies, we aimed to develop pullulan-based packaging paper to enhance the shelf lives of fruits. A thin paper coating comprising a mixture of 15 wt.% pullulan solution at various standard viscosities (75.6, 77.8, and 108.5 mPa·s) with tea polyphenols (15:2) and/or vitamin C (150:1) i...

Carvacrol nanocapsules as a new antifungal strategy: Characterization and evaluation against fungi important for grape quality and to control the synthesis of ochratoxins
This study aimed to produce, characterize and assess the antifungal activity of carvacrol loaded in nanocapsules of Eudragit® and chia mucilage as strategy for controlling Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus carbonarius, and Aspergillus niger. Eudragit® and chia mucilage were suitable wall materials, as both favored the encapsulation of carvacrol into nanometric diameter particles. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis suggested a successful incorporation of carvacrol into both nanocapsules, which was confirmed by presenting a good encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity. Thermogravi...
