To determine the effects of ingested royal jelly (RJ) on the pituitary in middle-aged female rats, we performed a long-term RJ administration test. Several animals showed age-related increases in pituitary weight, and RJ administration compensated for the increase. RJ tended to down-regulate prolactin mRNA and up-regulated thyroid-stimulating hormone beta mRNA in the pituitary. This suggests that RJ compensates for age-associated decline in pituitary functions.

Vanadium (V) is a trace element in the environment; it is detected in soil, water, air, dust, and food products. V-containing compounds have shown therapeutic potential in the treatment of diabetes. However, studies on the effects of V on animal behavior remain limited and sporadic.

Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging contaminants increasingly recognized for their environmental and health implications. While surface water systems have been extensively studied, the presence, behavior, and impacts of MNPs in groundwater remain underexplored, despite its critical role as water source worldwide. The findings in this review highlight that agricultural activities, particularly plastic mulches, pesticides containers, fertilizer bags, greenhouses, are major sources of MNP.

Schizophrenia is a persistent and incapacitating neuropsychiatric condition that presents considerable obstacles regarding pharmacological administration and therapeutic effectiveness. Lipidic nanocarriers, including Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs), have emerged as effective drug delivery vehicles for enhancing the bioavailability, stability, and controlled release of antipsychotic medicines. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have several benefits, such as improved drug loading capacity, less systemic adverse effects, and superior efficacy in traversing the blood-brain barrier compared to conventional formulations.

Venous malformations can cause substantial morbidity and long-term complications. There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapies for the treatment of venous malformations. However, off-label use of sirolimus has demonstrated clinical benefit in these patients.
