Artificial reefs in Europe have been developed over the last 40 yrs. Most of these placed Mediterranean Sea, but there is an increasing interest on part northern European countries. Fish stock enhancement and fishery management are main purposes reef construction Sea Atlantic coast Iberian Peninsula, while nature conservation/restoration, research, recreation served other regions to date. deployment falls under some general regulations concerning protection sea against pollution due dumping...
This study aimed to investigate the innate immune response of human macrophages Porphyromonas gingivalis W83 using a novel in vitro infection model. The growth kinetics P. were analyzed, revealing an exponential phase at 8 h (optical density = 0.70). To establish reliable macrophage model, differentiation THP-1 monocytes into was optimized low concentrations phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). approach induced enhanced adherence and morphological changes, with full achieved after 48 PMA...
This study evaluates the variation in population abundance overtime of twenty commercial fish species associated with an artificial reef and a reference site. Mean yearly catch rates were computed from data collected monthly 1988 to 2012 using trammel nets. The log-transformed ratios catches obtained at site calculated for each species. Statistical methods employed changes such multidimensional scaling (MDS), Min/Max Auto-correlation Factor Analysis (MAFA), Dynamic (DFA) chronological...
During the outbreak of COVID-19 many pernio-like lesions have been increasingly reported. The aim study is to describe our management these skin manifestations and evaluate a possible correlation SARS-CoV-2 infection. All patients underwent clinical laboratory tests detect underlying connective disease also specific investigations such as oropharyngeal swab IgG-IgM serology. Nine aged between 5 15 years old were evaluated. Skin observed purplish, erythematous oedematous, in some cases...
Abstract Detecting the anthropogenic impacts of offshore gas platforms requires reliable tools, because traditional evaluation based only on chemical analyses is neither appropriate nor sufficiently sensitive. Thus, a 3-year monitoring project was carried out to evaluate impact platform chemical–biological approach. Benthic communities are investigated as they widely used monitor effects marine organisms mostly sessile and integrate pollutants over time. Changes in benthic infauna, sediments...

AbstractThe pressure for more energy demand is a strong driver the construction of offshore oil and gas platforms. This also applies to Adriatic Sea where, since 1960, several fields have been commissioned. The continuous expansion industry may potentially detrimental effects on marine communities. become particularly clear in such peculiar semi-enclosed basin as Sea, which contains ecosystems that are subject intensive anthropic pressures, unsustainable fishing inputs environmental...
Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis syndrome (PFAPA) is the most common cause of periodic fever in childhood. Although PFAPA generally a self-limited condition, it can have negative impact on child's parents' quality life family functioning. Our primary aim was to assess potential effectiveness Streptococcus Salivarius K12 (SSK12) preventing febrile attacks patients. Secondary objectives included evaluating SSK12 mitigating severity episodes seen as...
The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge on distribution decapod crustaceans associated with an artificial reef positioned sandy-mud bottoms in central Adriatic Sea. constituted concrete modules assembled pyramids and poles. Hard soft bottom samples were collected from 2001, just after construction, 2005 (4 surveys per year). Regarding seabed, three sites close a pyramid, inside area at distance 10-15 m structures, 200 outside (control sites) randomly sampled during each survey. At...
