ABSTRACT Background and Aims Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV gene, resulting in recurrent inflammatory episodes and a risk of developing amyloido...

Abstract Background Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a heme metabolism disorder characterized by acute abdominal pain episodes, with diagnostic delays and misdiagnosis due to heterogeneous presentations and symptom overl...

The objective of this research is to explore pathways for the creation of Smart Villages in the Mediterranean context, with a focus on the Madonie Park—an extensive area comprising 21 municipalities within a UNESCO Glo...

Introduction: Land-use changes have transformed many Mediterranean ecosystems in ways that can adversely affect ectotherms such as reptiles. Range-edge reptile populations may be especially sensitive to such changes, as ...

Climate change is seriously threatening biodiversity and, especially, insects because their biological cycles are highly dependent on environmental conditions. We studied (1) how climate characterised by droughts and hea...

Objectives Türkiye was struck by earthquakes on 6 February 2023. Emerging evidence links psychosocial stress and environmental insults to inflammasome activation. This multicentre study investigated whether the earthqua...

This research was carried out in Eastern Mediterranean region of Türkiye in main and second crop field conditions to determine the appropriate plant density in peanut cultivation at 70 cm inter-row distances. For this a...

The Gulf of Squillace, in the Calabrian Ionian Sea, where we have been conducting scientific research and marine monitoring since 2019, has proven to be an important area for pelagic animals, including seabirds and sea t...

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of recreational citizen science in biodiversity monitoring. The goal was to evaluate whether a minimal training protocol can maintain data quality while engaging l...

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a multi-modal program centered around supervised exercise, is considered the standard of care for secondary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. The primary goals of CR are managing CVD r...

Abstract Background Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) protein profiling has emerged over the last decade as a method of choice for species identification of many ...

Pyralis papaleonei sp. nov. is described based on diagnostic phenotypic and genital morphological characters as well as unique DNA barcodes (COI gene – cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) and compared with closely related ...

This Review Note presents two successful “brain gain” initiatives implemented in Albania — READ, a planning research project, and GERMIN, a planning education project. Both programs represent structured efforts to ...

The intensification of agricultural practices to meet rising food demand is a major driver of environmental degradation. Current dietary patterns exacerbate these pressures, favoring foods that are economically accessibl...

Drought–flood abrupt alternation (DFAA) events, characterized by rapid transitions between drought and flood conditions, pose severe challenges to agricultural production, water resource management, and infrastructure ...

Abstract Background Venom cocktails of cone snails are characterized by their dynamic composition and the rapid evolution of toxin-encoding genes due to various selective pressures. The integration of comparative genomic...

This study examines the carbon footprints (CFs) of Spanish household food consumption in 2022, based on survey-based data. The results are assessed considering differences in food consumption patterns across socioeconomi...

BackgroundIn the context of an aging population, nutrition plays a fundamental role. Eating habits can change in old age due to physical disorders, social isolation, and decreased appetite, leading to a decline in nutrit...

Snowpacks in mountain regions with Mediterranean climates are exceptionally sensitive to climate warming. However, these marginal snowpacks are sparsely monitored, limiting our understanding of recent snow losses and con...

Abstract Background Anthropogenic pressures, including urbanisation, globalisation and climate change, have facilitated an increased risk for emergence or re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases into regions such as the ...

Abstract This study explores the phosphorite deposits from the Lower Member of the Duwi Formation in Egypt, which forms part of the Mediterranean phosphorite belt extending from Africa to Asia. Detailed petrographical, m...

Abstract Durum wheat breeding increasingly requires tools that can anticipate how genotypes respond to the shifting mix of heat and drought typical of Mediterranean drylands. In this study, we explored whether a multimod...

Ulva lacinulata constitutes a critical yet often overlooked component of Mediterranean eutrophicated coasts. Investigating its physiological responses to weather events may enable environmental management and aquaculture...
