In recent years, bioprinting has attracted much attention as a potential tool for generating complex 3D biological constructs capable of mimicking the native tissue microenvironment and promoting physiologically relevant cell–cell cell–matrix interactions. The aim present study was to develop crosslinked printable hydrogel based on biocompatible natural polymers, gelatin xanthan gum at different percentages be used both scaffold cell growth wound dressing.

Violence against women is a disabler of dignity, liberty, and rights the person, with murder being its extreme form for silencing individual. Despite psycho-criminological research providing evidence that violence can happen across cultures, sexes, societies, other findings show some forms i.e. Intimate Partner (IPV), which involves more frequently as victims, not rare in contemporary society. The aim this study to analyze women, how it escalates up point aggravates into femicide. In order...
Human skin hosts a variety of microbes that can be transferred to surfaces ("touch microbiome"). These microorganisms considered as forensic markers similarly "touch DNA". With this pilot study, we wanted evaluate the transferability and persistence microbiome" on surface after deposition fingerprint its exposure for 30 days at room temperature. Eleven volunteers were enrolled in study. Skin microbiome samples collected by swabbing palm their hands; additionally, donors asked touch glass...
Este estudo investiga a gestão democrática nas escolas, destacando relevância da participação ativa comunidade escolar para criação de um ambiente educacional inclusivo e eficiente. A escolha do tema justifica-se pela necessidade fomentar espaço educativo onde diretores, professores, alunos pais colaborem ativamente, garantindo transparência comunicação contínua. O objetivo principal é analisar os impactos na formação harmonioso engajado. metodologia empregada combina uma abordagem...
A educação intercultural é um tema relevante e contemporâneo, dado o aumento da diversidade cultural nas sociedades modernas sua crescente importância no ambiente educacional. escolha deste se justifica pela necessidade de fomentar uma convivência harmônica respectiva entre diferentes culturas, especialmente em contextos educacionais. O objetivo principal estudo analisar práticas seus impactos na formação identidades culturais promoção justiça social. metodologia empregada envolve abordagem...
The human oral microbiome has primarily been studied in clinical settings and for medical purposes. More recently, microbial research incorporated into other areas of study. In forensics, aimed to exploit the variation composition answer forensic relevant topics, such as identification geographical provenience. Several studies have focused on use continental, national, or ethnic origin evaluations. However, it is not clear how varies between similar populations across different regions a...
Background: Gelatin–xanthan gum (Gel–Xnt) hydrogel has been previously modified to improve its printability; now, increase ability for use as cell-laden 3D scaffolds (bioink), polydopamine (PDA), a biocompatible, antibacterial, adhesive, and antioxidant mussel-inspired biopolymer, added (1–3% v/v) hydrogel. Methods: Control (CT) PDA-blended hydrogels were used print 1 cm2 grids. The hydrogels’ printability, moisture, swelling, hydrolysis, porosity tested after glutaraldehyde (GTA)...
Medical accounts and ancient autopsy reports imply that tertian malarial fevers caused the death of four members Medici family Florence: Eleonora Toledo (1522-1562), Cardinal Giovanni (1543-1562), don Garzia (1547-1562) Grand Duke Francesco I (1531-1587). All hunted in endemic areas Tuscany, such as marshy surrounding their villas along swampy Maremma were, therefore, highly exposed to risk being infected by Falciparum malaria. To determine if original certificates issued court physicians...
This paper addresses femicide in Italy. The assumption is that not a discrete act of killing woman. It assumed depending on the types relationship between victim and perpetrator (e.g., known versus unknown, intimate acquaintance), risk processes may differ. When involves an partner, it likely to be characterized by sustained escalating partner violence (IPV) can reach its climax with extreme acts lead (IPF). Eighty-six cases occurred North-West Italy 1993 2013 were examined this study....
The innate immune system is the first line of defense body composed anatomical barriers, such as skin and mucosa, well effector cells, antimicrobial peptides, soluble mediators, cell receptors able to detect destroy viruses bacteria sense trauma wounds initiate repair. human β-defensins belong a family small cationic peptides produced by epithelial show immunomodulatory pro-healing activities. Laser biostimulation therapy widely used contrast microbial infection accelerate wound healing...
Introduction The Sexual Violence Relief center Soccorso Violenza Sessuale (SVS) is a specialist service, situated in Sant’Anna Hospital, an Obstetrics and Gynecology facility Turin, North-West Italy. study aimed to qualitatively analyze the transcripts of interviews routinely conducted by gynecologist midwife first part medical examination migrant patients accessing care at SVS after being subjected conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) their home country or during migration explore...
Violence against women is a form of gender violence, and the lethal aspect it, defined as femicide, global health human rights problem. This study looked at 330 cases femicide that occurred in North West Italy, between 1970 2020, committed by 303 male perpetrators. The victims included who were prostitutes those not. Findings show only small proportion occurs within an anonymous setting: Victims mostly killed man they knew. type intensity relationship was likely to affect how violence...
Violence against women is a growing health problem, especially when perpetrated in intimate relationships. Despite increasing attention, there little comparative evidence on the different types of violence involved and paucity research sexual femicides. This study examines cases northern Italy, focusing non-sexual femicides comparing them with rape that does not result The sample included 500 who were victims femicides, rape. Results show mostly unknown or prostitutes. Sexual femicidal...
Introduction Human donations are often used in forensic research as they can provide unique insights into post-mortem that cannot be obtained with animal proxies. This is especially true for microbiome research, human circumstances such drug-use or health conditions may influence the microbiome. However, it not always feasible to conduct immediately after death. Donors stored frozen taphonomy facilities, pending start of any experimental study, yet little known about how freezing affect...
