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...

Low-cost simulation model for ultrasound-guided punch biopsy and puncture: Construction manual and photo examples
Conclusion It was shown that it is possible to produce an inexpensive agar-agar-based ultrasound model in a short time and with easily available ingredients to learn ultrasound-guided punctures and punch biopsies. Ziel Ultraschallgestützte Punktionen und Stanzbiopsien stellen eine besondere Herausforderung in der Ausbildung von Ultraschalluntersuchungen dar. Diese Techniken sollten bestenfalls vor der Anwendung am Patienten durch realistische Simulationsmodelle erlernt werden. Der Einsatz von Modellen zur Erlernung von ultraschallgestützten Stanzbiopsien und Punktionen ist bisher kaum beschrieben. Ziel war es, ein kosten...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1196: Fluorimetric Detection of Insulin Misfolding by Probes Derived from Functionalized Fluorene Frameworks
los Menéndez A group of functionalized fluorene derivatives that are structurally similar to the cellular prion protein ligand N,N′-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bis [2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)acetamide] (GN8) have been synthesized. These compounds show remarkable native fluorescence due to the fluorene ring. The substituents introduced at positions 2 and 7 of the fluorene moiety are sufficiently flexible to accommodate the beta-conformational folding that develops in amyloidogenic proteins. Changes in the native fluorescence of these fluorene derivatives provide evidence of transformations in the amyloidogenic agg...

Enhancing the quality and safety of Nocellara del Belice green table olives produced using the Castelvetrano method
Food Microbiol. 2024 Jun;120:104477. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104477. Epub 2024 Jan 11.ABSTRACTThe Castelvetrano method is the most widely used among the various table olive processing styles in Sicily. After debittering, the product is stored at low temperatures to prevent the growth of undesirable microorganisms. In an effort to enhance the production process, yeast isolates underwent genotypic characterization and technological screening. The screening process identified two yeast strains Candida norvegica OC10 and Candida boidinii LC1, which can grow at low temperatures and tolerate high pH values (up to 10) and salinity...
