Abstract	The Ramacca Biofactory in Sicily breeds beneficial insects for citrus farming. This video presents some of the insects that are produced: The first is a parasitoid called Aphytis melinus. The second is a predator, a ladybird. It is called Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. We will also look at the two species on which these two useful insects are bred (Aspidiotus nerii and Planococcus citri).

Abstract	Background: Short- or mid-term fasting, full or partial, triggers metabolic response known to have in turn health effects in an organism. At central level, the metabolic stimulus triggered by fasting is known to be perceived firstly by hypothalamic neurons. In the field of neuroscience, ribosomal protein S6 (S6) phosphorylation is commonly used as a readout of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signalling activation or as a marker for neuronal activity. The aim of this study is addressed to evaluate whether the phosphorylation of S6 occurs in the central neurons of zebrafish exposed to four (short-term) and seven (mid-term) days of complete fasting. Methods: Group-housed adult zebrafish were exposed to four and seven days of complete food withdrawal. At the end of the experimental period, Western blotting analyses were carried out to measure the expression levels of the phosphorylated S6 (pS6) by comparing the two experimental conditions versus the control group. The same antibody was then used to identify the distribution pattern of pS6 immunoreactive neurons in the whole brain and in the taste buds. Results: We did not observe increased pS6 levels expression in the brain of animals exposed to short-term fasting compared to the control, whereas the expression increased in brain homogenates of animals exposed to mid-term fasting. pS6 immunoreactivity was reported in some hypothalamic neurons, as well as in the dorsal area of telencephalon and preoptic area, a neurosecretory region homolog to the mammalian paraventricular nucleus. Remarkably, we observed pS6 immunostaining in the sensory cells of taste buds lining the oral epithelium. Conclusions: Taken together, our data show that in zebrafish, differently from other fish species, seven days of fasting triggers neuronal activity. Furthermore, the immunostaining on sensory cells of taste buds suggests that metabolic changes may modulate also peripheral sensory cells. This event may have valuable implications when using zebrafish to design metabolic studies involving fasting as well as practical consequences on the animal welfare, in particularly stressful conditions, such as transportation.

Abstract	This paper aims to synthesize, via the sol-gel method, a biomaterial usable in the medical field. Here, the silica-PEG-quercetin system was evaluated in relation to the different concentrations of PEG (0, 6, 12, 24, 50 wt%) and quercetin (0, 5, 10, 15 wt%), respectively. In addition, Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Kirby-Bauer analyses were performed. FT-IR was used to evaluate the hybrid formation and the influence of both PEG and Quercetin in the hybrid synthesized materials, SEM was used to evaluate the morphological properties, while the Kirby-Bauer test was used to understand the ability of the materials to inhibit the growth of the assayed bacterial strains

Abstract	Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetes and its associated complications. The imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the body's antioxidant defence mechanisms leads to cellular damage and dysfunction. In diabetes, chronic hyperglycaemia and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to increased ROS production, further exacerbating oxidative stress. This oxidative burden adversely affects various aspects of diabetes, including impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance, leading to disrupted glucose regulation. Additionally, oxidative stress-induced damage to blood vessels and impaired endothelial function contribute to the development of diabetic vascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, organs and tissues throughout the body, including the kidneys, nerves, and eyes, are vulnerable to oxidative stress, resulting in diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Strategies to mitigate oxidative stress in diabetes include antioxidant therapy, lifestyle modifications, and effective management of hyperglycaemia. However, further research is necessary to comprehensively understand the underlying mechanisms of oxidative stress in diabetes and to evaluate the efficacy of antioxidant interventions in preventing and treating diabetic complications. By addressing oxidative stress, it might be possible to alleviate the burden of diabetes and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract	The association of a meningioma and intratumoral aneurysm is extremely rare. The coexistence of both lesions may cause difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a 65 y.o. woman with a left temporal meningioma and an intralesional ruptured aneurysm of a terminal branch of the middle cerebral artery whose parental vessel fed the tumor. The tumor and the embedded aneurysm were removed safely with improvement of her symptoms.

Abstract	Context: Mortality in type 2 diabetes is twice that of the normoglycemic population. Unravelling biomarkers that identify high-risk patients for referral to the most aggressive and costly prevention strategies is needed. Objective: To validate in type 2 diabetes the association with all-cause mortality of a 14-metabolite score (14-MS) previously reported in the general population and whether this score can be used to improve well-established mortality prediction models. Methods: This is a sub-study consisting of 600 patients from the "Sapienza University Mortality and Morbidity Event Rate" (SUMMER) study in diabetes, a prospective multicentre investigation on all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Metabolic biomarkers were quantified from serum samples using high-throughput proton nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics. Results: In type 2 diabetes, the 14-MS showed a significant (p < 0.0001) association with mortality, which was lower (p < 0.0001) than that reported in the general population. This difference was mainly due to two metabolites (histidine and ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to total fatty acids) with an effect size that was significantly (p = 0.01) lower in diabetes than in the general population. A parsimonious 12-MS (i.e. lacking the 2 metabolites mentioned above) improved patient discrimination and classification of two well-established mortality prediction models (p < 0.0001 for all measures). Conclusions: The metabolomic signature of mortality in the general population is only partially effective in type 2 diabetes. Prediction markers developed and validated in the general population must be revalidated if they are to be used in patients with diabetes.

Abstract	Over the last decade, the increased use of information and communication technology (ICT) in agriculture applications has led to the definition of the concept of precision farming or equivalently smart agriculture . In this respect, the latest progress in connectivity, automation, images analysis and artificial intelligence allow farmers to monitor all production phases and, due to the help of automatic procedures, determine better treatments for their farms. One of the main objectives of a smart agriculture system is to improve the yield of the field. From this point of view, the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm plays a key role in precision farming applications due to the fact that the use of IoT sensors provides precise information about the health of the production. In this paper, the results of the recently concluded R&D project ENOTRIA TELLUS are reported. The project aimed at the development of all hardware/software components for implementing a precision farming architecture allowing the farmers to manage and monitor the vineyards’ health status. The smart architecture combines various sub-systems (web application, local controllers, unmanned aerial vehicles, multi-spectral cameras, weather sensors etc.) and electronic devices, each of them in charge of performing specific operations: remote data analysis, video processing for vegetation analysis, wireless data exchanges and weather and monitoring data evaluation. Two pilot sites were built where the smart architecture was tested and validated in real scenarios. Experimental activities show that the designed smart agriculture architecture allowed the farmers to properly schedule the various phases of cultivation and harvesting.
