Background/Objectives: Obesity remains a global health concern and is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease overall. Dissimilar hypertension guidelines are available for clinicians, namely those prepared by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), which may lead to a distinctive appreciation of health outcomes of ...
Olive pomace (OLP) and stones (OLS) are key by-products of olive oil production, rich in lignocellulose and pectin, making them viable substrates for prebiotic oligosaccharide (OS) production. This study evaluated the chemical composition of OLP and OLS powders (OLPp and OLSp) and their potential for OS production through one-step fermentation using recombinant Bacillus subtilis 3610. Both substrates had compar...
The development of antimicrobial textiles has gained increasing attention due to rising concerns regarding infection control and material safety, Conventional antimicrobial textiles often depend on synthetic agents or metal-based compounds, which may promote environmental and biocompatibility concerns. Hybrid strategies combining nanotechnology with bioactive compounds (BCs) derived from agri-food by-products h...

Introduction: Congenital human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) infection occurs in 1% of the general population and may result from the transmission of an inherited chromosomally integrated HHV6 (iciHHV6) or transplacental infection. It is mostly asymptomatic. Case reports: Case 1: a 29th-week-old female preterm newborn, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, became clinically unstable and irritable on the 20th day...
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the nutritional value, safety, and sustainability of new food products. As awareness of health and environmental issues grows, they seek options that provide essential nutrients while being free from harmful additives and produced in environmentally responsible ways. The search for healthier diets has instigated the exponential growth of the plant-based food industry. ...

A seven-year-old female was followed in a developmental clinic from the age of nine months due to delayed psychomotor development. The first physical examination showed a newborn with irritability and a large anterior fontanelle. A transfontanellar ultrasound was performed, revealing mild enlargement of the lateral and third ventricles. Head circumference remained below the third percentile until the age of fiv...
