This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel "In & Out" strategy, combining topical and oral melatonin supplementation, in managing skin aging compared treatment alone. A randomized, prospective was conducted on 39 healthy females aged 55-69 years. Participants were divided into two groups: one received both formula supplementation (Group A), while other melatonin-based B). Clinical evaluations included lipidomic analysis, moisturization, wrinkle depth analysis at baseline after 84...
Every summer, wildfires affect thousands of steep watersheds in Italy, causing the partial or complete destruction vegetation, and changes soil hydraulic properties. Such effects alter hydrologic response watersheds, increasing post-fire debris sediment-laden flow hazard. This study characterizes most relevant predisposing triggering factors for a sequence four flooding events, which, late summer-autumn 2017, affected Montoro village southern Italy. research work consists fire severity...
In the last few years, there has been emerging interest in developing treatments against human diseases using natural bioactive compound. Here, edible mushroom <italic>Pleurotus eringii</italic> var. <italic>eringii</italic> increased survival rate of mice bearing C26 colon carcinoma.
The Campania region, in Southern Italy, is affected by hundreds of wildfires every year, mainly during the summer season. Starting from month September, mountain watersheds including those hit are impacted even more frequent intense rainstorms. In such conditions, high sediment availability, lack recovered vegetation and a likely stronger soil water repellency increase likelihood surface runoff erosion, leading to potential post-fire debris flows downstream.This work provides information on...
