    The sessile oak's decline phenomena has been analyzed in three protected areas of the N-E Piedmont region (N-W Italy), where this species is an important component of the Po plane forest structures. The utilized parameters are: crown clearness, leaf depigmentation, and presence of epicormic branches. We found mainly two different situations: one in better conditions where the species is at its ecological optimum, the second, where trees developped on fallows land, shows an elevate rate of declining trees

    Although rabies, or hydrophobia, is one of the so-called forgotten tropical diseases, it still kills thousands of people each year, especially children living in rural areas of Asia and Africa. This terrible disease was once a much-feared threat throughout Europe, whose terrifying symptoms were described in a vast body of literature that was based on both science and popular beliefs. One notable individual whose name is linked to the fight against this disease is Adelchi Negri, a brilliant but unfortunate pupil of Camillo Golgi. At the beginning of the 20th century, Negri observed peculiar formations in the brains of infected animals: known as Negri’s bodies, these formations became an important diagnostic tool used in anti-rabies institutes all over the world
