    Abstract Maintaining records of artisanal and small-scale mining sites in developing countries requires considerable effort, so it would be beneficial if Earth observation data from space could assist in the identifying and monitoring of such sites. Artificial light emissions are common at industrial-scale mining sites and have been associated with small-scale illegal mining in some contexts. Here, we examine whether known artisanal and small-scale mining sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are associated with observations of night light emissions by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (DNB). Light emissions from the mining sites were not observed: the radiance observed from the sites was near zero and nearly identical to that observed for a set of randomly-chosen locations in the same region. While it is the case that DNB night lights’ products provide useful data in other resource extraction contexts, they do not appear to be useful for identifying artisanal mining sites in the DRC.

    Abstract Ketogenic diets (KDs), fasting, or prolonged physical activity elevate serum ketone bodies (KBs) levels, providing an alternative fuel source for the brain and other organs. However, KBs play pleiotropic roles that go beyond their role in energy production. KBs can act as signaling metabolites, influence gene expression, proteins' posttranslational modifications (PTMs), inflammation, and oxidative stress. Here, we explore the impact of KBs on mammalian cell physiology, including aging and tissue regeneration. We also concentrate on KBs and cancer, given the extensive evidence that dietary approaches inducing ketosis, including fasting-mimicking diets (FMDs) and KDs, can prevent cancer and affect tumor progression.

    Abstract The composition and pattern of dietary intake have emerged as key factors influencing aging, regeneration, and consequently, healthspan and lifespan. Cancer is one of the major diseases more tightly linked with aging, and age-related mortality. Although the role of nutrition in cancer incidence is generally well established, we are far from a consensus on how diet influences tumour development in different tissues. In this review, we will discuss how diet and dietary restrictions affect cancer risk and the molecular mechanisms potentially responsible for their effects. We will cover calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, prolonged fasting, fasting-mimicking diet, time-restricted eating, ketogenic diet, high protein diet, Mediterranean diet, and the vegan and vegetarian diets.

    Abstract Background: Facial pain in multiple sclerosis is often due to trigeminal neuralgia but atypical pictures can be observed.
    Case presentation: A man with primary progressive multiple sclerosis developed severe unilateral facial pain in the right orbital region. Spontaneous and triggered attacks were associated with ipsilateral conjunctival injection and lacrimation. A diagnosis of short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing was made, and symptoms significantly improved with lamotrigine.
    Conclusion: Pain is poorly investigated in multiple sclerosis, with a dramatic impact on patients' life quality. In this light, standardized evaluation of pain is needed to improve patient management.

    Abstract Background: Central pancreatectomy (CP) is a parenchymal-sparing technique indicated for the resection of selected lesions of the neck or proximal body of the pancreas.
    Materials and methods: A US-guided robotic CP was carried out, and an intraoperative endoscopic evaluation of the MPD was performed to determine the distal transection level. A transmesocolic, end-to-side, robot-sewn Wirsung-jejunostomy with internal MPD stenting was then created. The procedure was completed with a side-to-side jejunojejunostomy.
    Results: The operative time was 290 min, with negligible blood loss. During the postoperative course, the patient experienced bleeding from a branch of the gastroduodenal artery with subsequent fluid collection, which was successfully treated with angioembolization and percutaneous drainage. He was discharged home on postoperative day 22. Final pathology revealed a non-invasive IPMN with low-grade dysplasia and free surgical margins. At 12 months of follow-up, the patient was doing well, with no evidence of local recurrence and endocrine or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.
    Conclusions: The combination of robotic surgery with intraoperative US and Wirsungoscopy may offer distinct technical advantages for challenging pancreatectomies that follow the principles of parenchymal-sparing surgery.

    Abstract Central pancreatectomy (CP) is indicated for benign or low-grade pancreatic tumors located in the neck or proximal pancreatic body. This procedure is demanding and has a high rate of postoperative complications. Minimally invasive surgery is now commonly used for CP but it is still unclear whether the robotic approach offers any advantages over conventional pancreatic minimally invasive surgery. Most studies on robotic CP are limited to case reports or case series; however, there are two important studies on this topic. Currently, the evidence on robotic CP remains limited, making it challenging to draw definitive conclusions in favor of one technique over the other. The use of a robotic platform, with its integrated tools such as intraoperative ultrasound, can guide the surgeon in performing this technically demanding procedure in a safer manner. The controversy regarding the best minimally invasive surgery approach for CP is still ongoing and requires further research.

    Abstract The characterization of fibro/adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) in the skeletal muscle has contributed to modify the monocentric view of muscle regeneration beyond muscle satellite cells (MuSCs). Now, we are aware that each population of the muscle niche plays a critical role in modulating homeostasis and regeneration. In the healthy muscle, FAPs contribute to maintain tissue homeostasis and assist MuSCs to cope with limited insults. Here, FAPs sense and integrate niche signals that keep in check their differentiation potential. The disruption of these niche cues leads to FAP differentiation into adipocytes and fibroblasts, both detrimental hallmarks of a large variety of muscle wasting diseases. FAP biology is still in its infancy, and current efforts are focused on the understanding of the molecular circuits governing their double‐edged behavior. The present review offers a detailed overview of the pathways and metabolic routes that can be modulated to halt and redirect their fibro/adipogenic potential while favoring their supportive role in muscle regeneration. Finally, we discuss on how single‐cell technologies have contributed to resolve FAP transitional states with distinctive roles in muscle regeneration and myopathies.

    Abstract This article explores the link between menopause and changes in the hair follicle (HF) lifecycle, focusing on hormonal and metabolic dynamics. During menopause, hormonal fluctuations and aging can impact the HF, leading to phenomena such as thinning, loss of volume, and changes in hair texture. These changes are primarily attributed to a decrease in estrogen levels. However, not all women experience significant hair changes during menopause, and the extent of transformations can vary considerably from person to person, influenced by genetic factors, stress, diet, and other elements. Furthermore, menopause mirrors the aging process, affecting metabolism and blood flow to the HFs, influencing the availability of vital nutrients. The article also discusses the key role of energy metabolism in the HF lifecycle and the effect of hormones, particularly estrogens, on metabolic efficiency. The concept of a possible "menopause" clinically independent of menopause is introduced, related to changes in HF metabolism, emphasizing the importance of individual factors such as estrogen receptor responses, genetics, and last but not least, the microbiota in determining these dynamics.
