Villa Della Porta Bozzolo is a villa located at Casalzuigno in the Italian province of Varese. It was donated by the heirs of the Italian senator and pathologist Camillo Bozzolo to the Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano—the National Trust of Italy—who now manage it
It was built in the 16th century and used as a rural villa and later an aristocratic residence. In the 18th century an impressive Italian garden was added with stairs, fountains, water features and an aedicula decorated with frescoes. Around the villa there are interesting rustic elements, such as a representation of an olive press containing a cycle of rococo frescoes from the workshop of Pietro Antonio Magatti, a painter from Varese.
At the end of the 17th century the villa experienced one of its most important transformations on the initiative of Gian Angelo Della Porta III on the occasion of his marriage to Isabella, daughter of Count Giorgio Giulini. With the assistance of an unknown architect, he set the main axis of the garden parallel to the side of the house—thus contravening the classic rules under which the principal axis must be aligned with the main room of the house, dividing the garden into two symmetrical parts. In 1723, he also built an elaborate fountain, designed by the architect Pellegatta.

SPECIAL EVENT
The Shape of Food Security – A Presentation on the Creation, Life, and Publications of Food Security
JUN 4, 2019 - 12:15 PM TO 01:30 PM EDT
VIDEO
PODCAST
Ten years ago, plant pathologists Richard Strange and Peter Scott founded the journal "Food Security—the Science, Sociology and Economics of Food Production and Access to Food" in response to Norman Borlaug’s challenge to "do more for food security."
This seminar will take a look back over the last decade to identify some key trends in publishing on food security, including geographic reach and topics covered. Presenters will also discuss the importance of publishing research and analysis from a wide range of disciplines and ask how interdisciplinary the journal has been so far. This systematic review will help guide the journal to make even greater contributions to food security in the years to come.

More about the Resistograph from Connie Mehmel:
"The Resistograph is described as 'an electronic high-resolution needle drill resistance measurement device, developed by Frank Rinn. A thin, long needle is driven into the wood. The electric power consumption of the drilling device is measured, recorded and printed,' making it more high-tech than the normal cordless drill we keep in our tool kit. This one was purchased by Mt. Rainier for their use. We enjoyed trying it out."

Coronavirus can destroy the placenta and lead to stillbirths
New research suggests the coronavirus can invade and destroy the placenta and lead to stillbirths in infected women.
It’s an uncommon outcome for any pregnancy but women with COVID-19 face an elevated risk. Authorities believe vaccination can help prevent these cases.
Researchers in 12 countries, including the United States, analyzed placental and autopsy tissue from 64 stillbirths and four newborns who died shortly after birth. The cases all involved unvaccinated women who had COVID-19 during their pregnancy.
The study bolsters evidence from small case reports and it confirms that placenta damage rather than an infection of the fetus is the likely cause of many COVID-19-related stillbirths, said Dr. Jeffery Goldstein, a pathologist at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.
He was not involved in the study, which was published Thursday in Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine.
Previous evidence suggests the chances of stillbirth are higher than usual for pregnant women with COVID-19, particularly from the delta variant. Vaccination recommendations include pregnant women and note their higher risk for complications when infected.
Lead author Dr. David Schwartz, an Atlanta pathologist, said other infections can infiltrate the placenta and cause stillbirth, typically by infecting and damaging the fetus. A recent example is Zika virus.
He and his colleagues wanted to see if that was the case with stillbirths in women with COVID-19. But what they found was almost the opposite: it was the placenta that was infected and extensively destroyed.
“Many of these cases had over 90% of the placenta destroyed — very scary,” said Schwartz.
Normal placenta tissue is a healthy reddish hue and spongy. The specimens they studied were stiff, with dark discolorations of dead tissue. While other infections can sometimes damage the placenta, Schwartz said he’d never seen them cause such consistent, extensive destruction.
The placenta is an organ that forms and attaches to the womb during pregnancy. It connects with the umbilical cord, providing oxygen and nourishment from the mother’s bloodstream.
The virus likely reached the placenta through the bloodstream, attaching to susceptible cells and causing protein deposits and an unusual form of inflammation that blocked blood flow and oxygen. That in turn led to placenta tissue death and suffocation, the researchers said.
Coronavirus was also detected in some of the fetuses, but evidence of suffocation in the womb points to placenta damage as the more likely cause of death, they said.
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report in November found that among pregnant U.S. women infected with COVID-19, about 1 in 80 deliveries was a stillbirth — the loss of a fetus anytime after 20 weeks. That’s compared with 1 in 155 among uninfected women.
The study stillbirths occurred on average at 30 weeks; normal pregnancies last about 40 weeks.
High blood pressure, certain chronic illnesses and fetal abnormalities are among conditions that can increase chances for stillbirths, including in women with COVID-19.
It is unclear whether omicron infections also increase chances for stillbirths; the study was done before that highly infectious variant emerged.

Common Over-The-Counter Drug May Relieve Long COVID Symptoms, Case Report Suggests
Promising news for people with long COVID may have arrived in a new case report, as two people report that their symptoms were almost completely relieved by taking common over-the-counter antihistamines. Authors of the new paper express that while the evidence thus far is anecdotal and based on a very small sample size, it’s a worthy avenue of investigation considering that – for most people – antihistamines are safe to take on a daily basis.
“Patients tell us they wish more than anything that they could work and do the most basic activities they used to before they got sick with long COVID,” said corresponding author and University of California, Irvine associate professor of nursing, Melissa Pinto, in a statement. “They are desperately searching for something to help them get back on their feet.”
That search led Pinto and colleagues to the cases of two women, details of which they describe in a paper published in The Journal for Nurse Practitioners. Both women were otherwise healthy and ended up taking the antihistamine diphenhydramine, sometimes branded as Benadryl or Nytol, as something of a happy accident.
In the first case, the woman had triggered an existing lactose intolerance by eating cheese so took the antihistamine to manage the subsequent symptoms. The second had run out of her usual allergy medication so switched.
In both instances, the women found daily doses of the antihistamine led to significantly improved quality of life. Their cognition, exercise tolerance, and pain severity – all of which had worsened after SARS-CoV-2 infection – were improved and rashes and lesions associated with long COVID (which has around 203 possible symptoms) went away.
Each woman reports they’ve regained 90 and 95 percent of their pre-illness function under the diphenhydramine antihistamine regime. Their promising outcome potentially demonstrates that this readily available medication could have a big impact on those who feel they have lost much of their quality of life to long COVID.
“Currently, there is no cure for [long COVID], only symptom management,” said Pinto. “A number of options are being tried, with antihistamines being one of them.”
While the women represent a small sample size, with similar characteristics including age, sex, and ethnicity, Pinto maintains that the promise of an afforable medication easing long COVID symptoms is worth further investigation.
“The possibility that an easy-to-access, over-the-counter medication could ease some of the [long COVID] symptoms should offer hope to the estimated 54 million people worldwide who have been in distress for months or even years,” she continued. "The next steps for this research into antihistamine treatment are to conduct broad-based trials in order to evaluate efficacy and to develop dosage schedules for clinical practice guidelines.”
The transfer of survey and suppression-project entomologists and pathologists out of Research and into the Division of Timber Management created a staff called Insect and Disease Control - the equivalent of today's Forest Health Protection staff.
The following text is excerpted from the foreward to Forest Insect and Disease Conditions in the United States 1961, located here: www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/publications/ConditionsReport_...
"In 1961 there was a noteworthy change in assigned responsibilities within the Forest Service for planning, directing, and conducting forest insect and disease surveys. On July 1, responsibility for this work, previously assigned to the Forest Insect and Forest Disease Research Divisions of the Forest Service Experiment Stations, was transferred to administrative divisions in the Forest Service Regions and at headquarters offices, Washington D.C. This transfer of survey responsibilities culminated extensive study of means ot intensify insect and disease surveys, facilitate the administration of suppression projects, and strengthen research on insect and disease problems. As a result of this reassignment in responsibilities, entomologist and pathologists who had been handling survey work were transferred from Fores Service Experiment Stations to Forest Service Regional offices. At Forest Service regional headquarters in Juneau, Alaska; Portland, Oregon; San Francisco, California; Ogden, Utah; Denver, Colorado; and Albuquerque New Mexico, they were assigned to the Divisions of Timber Management. ..."

Reported place of arrest: Saida, Dera’a governorate
Reported date of arrest: 29 April
Reported date of delivery of body: 24 May
Observations on corpse: Pathologist video observation: Seemingly blunt force injury to face. Lesions on chest and abdomen (right hand side) are bluish discoloured with a central darker area that may well represent entrance wounds. Witness video observation: Neck broken, genitals mutilated (unclear in images).
Details: On April 29 Hamza joined many hundreds of people from al-Jeeza and other villages around Dera’a in peaceful marches towards the city in a symbolic attempt to break the blockade. The protesters were attacked by Syrian security forces, who reportedly shot at them near the Saida military compound and arrested several hundred people. Hamza Ali al-Khateeb is one of many who went missing. He was later reported to be held by Air Force Intelligence. On 24 May the family received a phone call to say there was a body in the al-Jeeza Hospital morgue which they should see, and a relative of Hamza Ali al-Khateeb went there and identified his body. According to publicly available video images and confidential material made available to Amnesty International, there were injuries to his face, head and back and his penis had been cut off. A forensic pathologist consulted by Amnesty International reviewed video evidence and concluded that the boy seemed to have suffered a “blunt force injury to the face” as well as bluish discoloured lesions with a central darker area on chest and right hand side of the abdomen, which could “represent entrance wounds”.
Authorities publicly announced that they had opened an investigation into the case but have not issued any information about the nature or scope of the investigation or even who the investigating authority is. Authorities have claimed that “armed groups” were responsible for the death of Hamza Ali al-Khateeb. Read the full report

Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky (Hradec Králové, February 19, 1804 – Vienna, July 23, 1878) was an Austrian physician, pathologist, and professor of Czech origin, recognized as one of the founders of modern pathology. Over his career, he performed more than 30,000 autopsies and supervised about 70,000 more, building an unparalleled empirical foundation for the study of diseases. He served as professor and rector at the University of Vienna and was a co-founder of the Vienna Medical School, which shaped generations of physicians. His name is also associated with a rare congenital disorder – the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) – characterized by underdevelopment or complete absence of the uterus and upper vagina in women with otherwise normal secondary sexual characteristics and a regular chromosomal sex (46,XX). Rokitansky’s contributions profoundly influenced medical diagnostics and pathological anatomy, while he also played an active role in the cultural and social life of the Habsburg Monarchy.

He was the founder of science-based diagnostics, connecting clinical with pathological results in a feedback loop that is standard practice today but was daring in Rokitansky's day.

ARS Research Plant Pathologist-Nematologist William Rutter works to develop tools to manage and mitigate the damage caused by the Meloidogyne enterolobii (the guava root-knot nematode), and other root-knot nematode species.
Nematodes are small microscopic roundworms in the soil.
Meloidogyne enterolobii is an invasive species in the United States southeastern region and causes significant damage to a wide variety of crops worldwide.
These specific nematodes only appeared in the United States within the last 20 years and they've slowly been spreading across the southeastern states causing damage in sweet potato as well as several other crops.
This research will provide resources to develop germplasm that will help breeders develop new crop varieties that are resistant to the nematode as well as management practices that will help farmers directly manage the nematode and stop its spread in the field.
Root-knot nematodes in general and particularly Meloidogyne enterolobii can infect the majority of cultivated plants in the U.S. They're currently causing a lot of damage in sweet potato in the Carolinas, but they also infect other vegetable crops such as pepper, cucumber, watermelon, as well as soybean and cotton. Root-knot nematodes cause billions of dollars of damage each year for the U.S. and farmers globally.

By using neural networks that can quickly and accurately analyze biopsy slide images on a scale that microscope-equipped pathologists could never completely tackle, a project by Joel Saltz and Thomas Potok promises to unlock new information on how tumors react to different treatments. In turn, this could profoundly affect the fight against cancer while also pioneering new ways of creating multi-objective neural networks.
This portion of a whole-slide cancer biopsy image highlights where tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes appear in the orange overlay. It was labeled using the MENNDL neural network.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Research Plant Pathologist-Nematologist William Rutter, Ph.D., works to develop tools to manage and mitigate the damage caused by the Meloidogyne enterolobii (the guava root-knot nematode), and other root-knot nematode species, he works at the U.S. Vegetable Laboratory in Charleston, South Carolina, on January 28, 2021.
Nematodes are small microscopic roundworms in the soil.
Meloidogyne enterolobii (the guava root-knot nematode) is an invasive species in the United States southeastern region and causes significant damage to a wide variety of crops worldwide.
These specific nematodes only appeared in the United States within the last 20 years and they've slowly been spreading across the southeastern states causing damage in sweet potato as well as several other crops.
This research will provide resources to develop germplasm that will help breeders develop new crop varieties that are resistant to the nematode as well as management practices that will help farmers directly manage the nematode and stop its spread in the field.
Root-knot nematodes in general and particularly Meloidogyne enterolobii can infect the majority of cultivated plants in the U.S. They're currently causing a lot of damage in sweet potato in the Carolinas, but they also infect other vegetable crops such as pepper, cucumber, watermelon, as well as soybean and cotton. Root-knot nematodes cause billions of dollars of damage each year for the U.S. and farmers globally.
