Standing Against Bullying: The Role of Teachers’ Support for Victims, and School Connectedness in Bystanders’ Defending Behavior

Feeding behaviour, oxidative status, and milk production of dairy ewes fed fresh or dehydrated sulla (Sulla coronaria (L.) Medik.) forage

This investigation aimed to explore utilisation of sulla as fresh or stored forage, and the improvement of forage stocks by dehydration as alternative to haymaking for reducing biomass and nutrients losses and preserving properties of bioactive components, mainly condensed tannins. In two experiments carried out in spring and autumn, the responses of Valle del Belìce ewes to different diets were evaluated for their feeding behaviour, oxidative status and milk production. In spring, 12 ewes we...

Oligometastatic versus polymetastatic colon cancer: functional and genomic determinants of divergent metastatic trajectories

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular and functional features underlying the clinical heterogeneity between oligometastatic (OM) and polymetastatic (PM) colon cancer. Methods: We performed a genotype-phenotype analysis in a homogeneous cohort of 127 patients with metastatic colon cancer (mCC) profiled using the same next-generation sequencing platform (TruSight Oncology® 500). OM disease was defined as the presence of one to three metastatic lesions per involved organ, in...
