Impact of liquid antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer on DNA transfer in forensic investigations
DNA transfer, whether intentional or not, is becoming an important part of forensic evidence gathering and analysis. This study seeks to determine the impact of liquid antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer use on the DNA present in the palms of hands that may potentially reduce direct transfer. Twelve volunteers were enrolled and typed. Afterwards, each palm was swabbed without considering previous activities to collect background DNA profiles. S…

Migrants’ human rights and health protection during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Mediterranean Sea
This study aims to assess the situation of Italian hotspots for migrant reception during the COVID-19 pandemic, and specifically analyzing the situation of two hotspots located in the Sicily Region (Pozzallo harbor and Lampedusa Island), to identify critical issues. At the same time, we hypothesize solutions to guarantee the respect of human rights and suggest an operational protocol to be applied in similar situations, considering that the migra…
Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) Type II
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a developmental lesion of the lungs and terminal respiratory structures, which is characterized by pseudocysts, lesions, and cystically dilated airways. CCAM is also known as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). Various classification systems for CCAM have been described, and based on a recent classification, CCAMs are classified morphologically into five different types (Type 0, I,…
Effects of a Plastic-Free Lifestyle on Urinary Bisphenol A Levels in School-Aged Children of Southern Italy
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor (ED) frequently used in food packaging. BPA is used as a monomer in the manufacture of some food packaging. This study aimed to evaluate the urinary BPA concentration in an Italian pediatric cohort, testing the levels of this ED over a period of 6 months, evaluating the effects of a diet regimen with a reduction of Plastic Food Packaging (PFP). One hundred thirty Italian children were enrolled and divid…
