The safety of raw milk sold in Northern Italy was investigated in relation to hygiene quality parameters and presence of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, thermotolerant Campylobacter, and Verocytotoxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7. The performance of different analytical methods used-official culture method (ISO), modified Bacteriological Analytical Manual cultural method (mBAM), ...

We identify nearby disk galaxies with optical structural parameters similar to those of intermediateredshift compact blue galaxies. By comparing H I and optical emission-line widths, we show that the optical widths substantially underestimate the true kinematic widths of the local galaxies. By analogy, optical emission-line widths may underrepresent the masses of intermediate-z compact objects....

The association between acute renal disease and infection has been known since the mid ‘800s. PIGN is a reactive immunological process against kidney secondary to an infection, classically caused by Streptococcus. Because usually ongoing at time GN diagnosed, term infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) proposed. Acute post-streptococcal [APSGN] most common form of encountered in children. ...
