Amongst the range of bioprinting technologies currently available, by material extrusion is gaining increasing popularity due to accessibility, low cost, and absence energy sources, such as lasers, which may significantly damage cells. New applications extrusion-based are systematically emerging in biomedical field relation tissue organ fabrication. Extrusion-based presents a series specific challenges achievable resolutions, accuracy speed. Resolution particular paramount importance for...
Background Human leishmaniasis is a protozoan disease transmitted by sand flies and endemic in the Mediterranean region. In Italy, present south western coastal regions, with an epidemic peak detected northern Italy early 1970s. Aim To examine temporal trends, demographic, clinical, geographical environmental features of human cases recorded local health unit (LHU) Bologna, Italy. Methods this retrospective observational study, we analysed from 2004 to 2022 within Bologna LHU. We also...
Over the last 40 years gray wolf (Canis lupus) re-colonized its historical range in Italy increasing human-predator interactions. However, temporal and spatial trends mortality, including direct indirect persecution, were never summarized. This study aims to fill this gap by focusing on situation of Tuscany Emilia-Romagna regions, hosting a significant proportion Italian population, by: (i) identifying prevalent causes (ii) summarizing their patterns (iii) applying spatially-explicit...
The natural transmission cycle of West Nile virus (WNV) involves birds as primary hosts and mosquitoes vectors, but this can spread to mammals, human beings included. Asymptomatic infected donors pose a risk the safety blood transfusions organ transplants, WNV be transmitted through these medical procedures. Since 2009, region Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy has been implementing an integrated surveillance system order detect circulation environment at early stage. Here we report results...
In the last decade, an upsurge of human leishmaniasis has been reported in Emilia-Romagna region, Northeast Italy. Epidemiologic data have raised doubts about role dogs as main reservoirs for Leishmania infantum. present study, a total 1077 wild animals were screened L. infantum DNA earlobe and spleen samples from 2019 to 2022. The lymph nodes tested only 23 already positive and/or spleen. A 71 (6.6%) resulted at least one sampled tissues, including 3/18 (16.7%) wolves, 6/39 (15.4%) European...
The implementation of in-situ sensing solutions to monitor additive manufacturing processes has seen a significant surge in recent years, notably where localised heating is used. These technologies, however, have not always yielded accurate information about final part quality, due differences between the irregularities observed in-process and anomalies present finished part. One way investigating such establish correlations layer properties condition In this work, we put forward solution...
Tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) includes cutaneous (CL) and mucosal (ML) leishmaniasis; despite being endemic in southern Europe, it is often underdiagnosed underreported. This study aimed to retrospectively examine data collected from patients with TL a selected area of northeastern Italy (Emilia-Romagna region, RER). A network 10 diagnostic units within RER was established, cases diagnosed 2017 2020 were evaluated. total 135 (62% male, 38% female); ranged 1 84 years, median age 57. Among...
West Nile (WNV) and Usutu (USUV) viruses are mosquito-borne flaviviruses. Thanks to their importance as zoonotic diseases, a regional plan for surveillance of Arboviruses was implemented in Emilia-Romagna 2009. The province Ferrara belongs the region, it is an endemic territory these viruses, with favorable ecological conditions abundance mosquitoes wild birds. From 2015 2019, we collected 1842 dead-found birds at wildlife rehabilitation center, which were analysed by three different PCRs...
In recent years, the growth of wild ungulates has increased focus on their health monitoring. particular, status boars is relevant for economic impact pig industry. The Emilia-Romagna region activated a wildlife monitoring plan to better evaluate boar population. Between 2011 and 2021, samples found dead hunted have been examined trichinellosis, tuberculosis, brucellosis, african swine fever, classical Aujeszky’s disease, vesicular influenza A. Trichinella britovi was identified in 0.001%...
West Nile (WNV) and Usutu (USUV) viruses are two mosquito-borne belonging to the family Flaviviridae genus Flavivirus. The natural transmission cycle of WNV USUV involves mosquitoes birds, while mammals thought be accidental hosts. goal this study was report-in context "off-season monitoring" passive surveillance-the detection RNA in wild birds. To end, we analyzed biological samples birds Northern Italy, from October May, hence outside regional monitoring period (June-September)....
The fused filament fabrication (FFF) process is widely used for producing prototypes and functional parts diverse applications. While FFF particularly attractive due to its cost-effectiveness, on the other hand, fabricated have limitations in terms of large manufacturing time reduced mechanical properties. latter strongly influenced by parameters, which affect interlayer bonding adhesion between consecutive layers. Several works presented literature analysed correlation properties...
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is an additive manufacturing process where a thermoplastic polymeric material, provided in the form of filament, extruded to create layers. Achieving consistent flow material key ensure quality final part. Extrudate depends on many factors; among these, rate at which fed into extruder. In conventional FFF machine, transport achieved through use drive gear. However, slippage between gear and may occur, leading reduced consequent local decrease extrudate rate,...
