Summary 1. Compared with rivers in more humid, forested ecoregions of eastern and midwestern U.S.A., semi‐arid grassland the U.S. Great Plains tend to be relatively shallow, variable discharge, characterised by high suspended sediment loads. Although critical life stages fish prairie probably depend at least partially on zooplanktonic food, data community distributional patterns potamoplankton these widespread ecosystems are almost entirely absent. 2. We examined summer zooplankton...
Abstract Secondary drainage canals have the potential to effectively mitigate excess nitrogen loads from diffuse and point sources. In vegetated ( Phragmites australis Typha latifolia ) in unvegetated subjected pollution, removal was evaluated by means of simple in–out mass balance uptake macrophytes estimated biomass data. Results suggest an elevated control ditches receiving source pollution (average abatement 50% total N load per linear km), whereas processes are much less effective...
Resection of thymic tumours including the removal both tumour and thymus gland (thymothymectomy; TT) is procedure choice recommended in most relevant articles literature. Nevertheless, recent years, some authors have suggested that resection (simple thymomectomy; ST) may suffice from an oncological standpoint patients with early-stage thymoma who do not myasthenia gravis (MG) (non-MG). The goal our study was to compare short- long-term outcomes ST versus TT non-MG thymomas using European...
Spread through air spaces (STAS) has been reported as a negative prognostic factor in patients with lung cancer undergoing sublobar resection. Radiomics recently proposed to predict STAS using preoperative computed tomography (CT). However, limitations of previous studies included the strict selection imaging acquisition protocols, leading results hardly applicable daily clinical practice. The aim this study is test radiomics-based prediction model practice-based dataset.A training cohort 99...
Acute lung rejection (ALR) is a relatively frequent complication during the first year after transplantation (LT). It characterized by perivascular/bronchial mononuclear inflammation mediated several cytokines. The aim of our study was to monitor panel cytokines extracted from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) LT and correlate them with clinical ALR.Twenty double transplant recipients were prospectively assessed. Fifteen (75%) affected cystic fibrosis (CF). BAL collected at seven different steps...
The Hermann's tortoise (Testudo hermanni) is an endangered land distributed in disjoint populations across Mediterranean Europe. We investigated its genetic variation by typing 1 mitochondrial locus and 9 nuclear microsatellites approximately 300 individuals from 22 localities. Our goal was to understand the relative impact of natural human-mediated processes shaping structure identify priorities for conservation this species. found that 1) all geographic areas are highly differentiated,...
Abstract The isolation and characterization of six polymorphic loci from a Testudo hermanni genomic library is reported. Enrichment was performed for AC but four the characterized microsatellites present also an additional motif. Variability tested on populations two recognized subspecies, boettgeri. For one locus, size range specific subspecies T. h. observed. These are first primers identified directly in genome
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS) has gaining a special place in the thoracic surgery scenario; nowadays even major pulmonary resections can be performed through this approach. We hereby review our initial experience with uniportal VAT lobectomy, passing directly from open approach to single port attempted 26 lobectomies VATS incision of about 5 cm and 22 them were completed: eight left lower lobectomies, six right upper five three lobectomies. At pathological staging all but four...
New bronchoscopic techniques for end-stage emphysema treatment are nowadays available; the presence of interlobar collateral ventilation (CV) and lung fissures (ILF) is crucial patient selection.Assessment these variables has been reported previously, but it never anatomically validated in vivo. This purpose our study.Twenty-one patients undergoing resection cancer were prospectively enrolled this study. At operation, CV was assessed by Chartis catheter system. ILF completeness at...

The Sacca di Goro is a hypertrophic lagoon of the Po river Delta, which heavily exploited for rearing ofthe Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum. Harvesting clams could add to general disturbance regime in through damage benthic community, release porewater nutrients fuel macroalgal growth and reduced compounds from sediment leading depletion water column oxygen. We tested these hypotheses during an situ harvesting experiment. No significant differences were found population or biomass...
The diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) relies on nasopharyngeal swab, which shows a 20–30% risk false negativity [1]. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is reported to be useful in patients with pulmonary interstitial infiltrates high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We investigated the usefulness BAL symptomatic positive HRCT and repeatedly negative swab test (‘grey zone’).
Recent guidelines support the use of thoracoscopic surgery in stage II-III empyema; however, there is still debate regarding best surgical approach. The aim our study to compare postoperative outcomes VATS and open approaches for treatment post-pneumonic empyema. Observational cohort on prospectively collected cases empyema surgically treated a single center (2000-2020). Patients were divided into an group (OT, posterolateral muscle sparing thoracotomy) (VT, 2 or 3 port ± utility incision)....
Abstract The Sacca di Goro is a shallow, brackish, eutrophic coastal lagoon in the southernmost part of Po River Delta (northern Adriatic Sea, Italy). It heavily exploited for rearing Manila clam (Tapes philippinarum), mean annual production since 1986 being 10 000 t. Commercial cultivation bivalves can exert severe impact on local environment, especially invertebrate community, reducing species richness and abundance. An situ experiment was conducted from March 2003 to February 2004 examine...
This retrospective study is designed to evaluate factors affecting survival in a population of patients receiving pulmonary metastasectomy after gynecologic cancers.Nineteen with isolated lung metastases (one or two) were surgically treated R0 resection. Four them underwent lobectomies.Six (31.6%) received adjuvant therapy and 11 (58%) experienced recurrences metastasectomy. Five- ten-year 40.9% 31.4%, respectively. Five-year was 52.4%. At multivariate analysis negatively influencing...
Background: Complete resection for stage II thymic tumors can be easily accomplished even if the capsula and adjacent mediastinal tissue are macroscopically involved; however, also at this stage, recurrence may occur, particularly B2, B3 carcinoma. The criteria administration of adjuvant therapy remain controversial it is unclear whether patients benefit from it. We reviewed a series receiving chemo-radiotherapy (chemo-RT) based on histology. Methods: Eighty-eight consecutive with were...
Abstract OBJECTIVE Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a pattern of invasion present in some adenocarcinomas (ADC). The goal this study was to assess the impact STAS patients treated with different types surgical resections and on clinical outcome ADC diameters degrees nodal involvement. METHODS A total 109 were reviewed. Complete resection systematic dissection achieved all patients. median follow-up 65 months (3–90 months). RESULTS observed 70 cases (64.2%); 13 (18.5%) had lymph node...
Chest tubes are routinely inserted after thoracic surgery procedures in different sizes and numbers. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy Smart Drain Coaxial drainage compared with two standard chest patients undergoing thoracotomy for pulmonary lobectomy. Ninety-eight (57 males 41 females, mean age 68.3 ± 7.4 years) lung cancer open lobectomy were randomized groups: 50 received one upper 28-Fr lower 32-Fr tube (ST group) 48 (SDC group). Hospitalization, quantity fluid output, air...
