Development and bioactive potential of films from plant residue enriched with e...

Introduction: Traditional plastic food packaging is typically non-renewable and non- biodegradable, creating a need for new eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives, such as plant- based films. Plant agro-industrial wastes have been explored as sources of polymeric matrices in film development. Additionally, natural compounds from plants, like plant extracts (PEs) and essential oils (EOs) can provide these fil...

Fig “Ficus carica L.” and its by-products: A decade evidence of their health-pr...

Background: The food industry constantly searches for natural derived bioactive molecules with preventive and therapeutic effects using innovative and sustainable strategies. Fig production and processing generate a considerable amount of by-products (leaves, pulp, peels, seeds, and latex) with limited commercial exploitation and negative impact on the environment. These by-products are important sources of hig...

Early Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) in patients with su...

Introduction: Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is known to be effective in treating acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, deciding to perform additional surgery in the early postoperative period may be challenging as there is the concern of adding morbidity and clinical presentation is often subtle. We mean to assess the impact of early DAIR on final functional outcome. Metho...

Horner Syndrome After Anterior Revision Surgery for Cervical Spondylotic Myelop...

We report a case of postoperative left-sided Horner syndrome (blepharoptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis) after revision surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy. A C4 corpectomy and an anterior cervical fusion from C3 to C5 were performed through a left longitudinal approach in a patient with a surgical history of an anterior discectomy and a fusion from C5 to C6. One year after the revision surgery, the patien...
