Absence of anisakis nematodes in smoked farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) products on sale in European countries

The increase of global demand of aquaculture products as compensation for the lowering of fishery sustainability has shown a parallel awareness by the consumers on the importance of the safety and quality of fish products. Among these, salmon industry has reached a leading position demonstrating the negligible risk of presence of zoonotic helminths such as anisakis nematodes in farmed salmon. Despite the massive production of data in literature on parasitological surveys carried out on fresh salmon, no data are published on processed farmed salmon such as smoked products. In 2016, 270 slices of smoked farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and 13 smoked slices from wild sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) have been analyzed by visual inspection and UV-press method searching for the presence of anisakid nematodes. No parasites were detected in samples from farmed Atlantic salmon, while 10 out of 13 from wild salmon were positive for Anisakis simplex s.s. larvae. This first survey on the possible presence of anisakid nematodes in processed smoked salmon confirms that this risk in farmed Atlantic salmon products has to be considered negligible

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis presenting as a renal mass successfully treated with rituximab

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a granulomatous disorder usually associated with vasculitis involving the small and medium-sized blood vessels that affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts and the kidneys, but almost any organ can be targeted. The typical renal involvement of GPA consists of a segmental necrotising glomerulonephritis, but, very rarely, renal disease could appear as an isolated or bilateral renal mass, requiring a differential diagnosis from neoplasms or granulomatous infections. We describe a patient who, during tests for a kidney mass, was found to have pulmonary nodules suspected to be metastasis, successfully treated with rituximab

Factors influencing adherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy in breastcancer‑treated women: using real‑world data to inform a switch from acute to chronic disease management

We tested determinants of Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) adherence using patient characteristics, treatment pathways, AET initiation timing, and multiple healthcare facility use. An underlying objective was to explore how oncological pathways mirror chronic disease management to monitor adherence and target improvement interventions using administrative datasets

The dark side. Bad guys, antagonisti e antieroi del cinema e della serialità contemporanei

Evidenziando le differenze fra i vari tipi di "cattivo" e soffermandosi sul lavoro creativo alla base della sua costruzione narrativa, gli autori usano la pista del negativo come una chiave di lettura per analizzare il cinema e la serialità televisiva contemporanei. In particolare, il primo saggio analizza le funzioni dell'antagonista e la nascita di eroi più complessi, mentre il secondo indaga la trasformazione dell'antagonista in alcuni film recenti; il terzo e il quarto, invece, ricorrono a dei case studies per analizzare rispettivamente il lato negativo dell'eroe nei film d'animazione e il fascino dell'antieroe nelle serie televisive americane.The essay develops an analysis of contemporary cinema and of american TV series focusing on the importance the antagonist and the villain have in the construction of drama. Specifically, the First Chapter goes deep into the dramatic function of the antagonist and into the evolution of the hero becoming a more complex character; Chapter Two concentrates on the evolution of the antagonist in some recent films; Chapter Three and Chapter Four, thorugh specific case studies, deal respectively with the dark side of the hero in animated features and with the antiheroes in american TV drama
