Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Ageing‐related modification of sleep and breathing in orexin‐knockout narcoleptic mice

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Narcolepsy type‐1 (NT1) is a lifelong sleep disease, characterised by impairment of the orexinergic system, with a typical onset during adolescence and young adulthood. Since the wake–sleep cycle physiologically changes with ageing, this study aims to compare sleep patterns between orexin‐knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) control mice at ...

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...

Agronomic traits and nutritional features of importance in low-raffinose genotypes for added-value soybeans

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
The presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANF) in legumes is an important challenge towards a higher incorporation of beans in our diet. In soybeans, the oligosaccharides belonging to the raffinose family (RFO), stachyose, raffinose and verbascose, are ...

Comparing Facial Attractiveness and Professional Acceptance Between Real and AI‐Generated Orthodontic Treatment Outcome Images

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Facial attractiveness influences social and professional perceptions, including competence and employability. With the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate photorealistic faces, it is important to understand how these images compare to real orthodontic treatment outcomes.

Black Chickpea Landraces as a Sustainable Protein Source: Physicochemical, Nutritional, and Technological Properties

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Neglected legume landraces represent valuable genetic resources for sustainable food systems, yet their compositional and technological properties remain poorly explored. This study comprehensively characterized the flours obtained from two Sicilian black chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) landraces, Rough Black Chickpeas (RBC) and Smooth Black ...

Predictive abilities of baseline measurements of fluid overload, assessed by bioimpedance spectroscopy and serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, for mortality in hemodialysis patients

Archives of Medical Science, 2017
Introduction : Fluid overload is one of the most important, yet modifiable, risk factors associated with worse outcomes in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, its precise assessment in clinical practice is still under investigation.
