The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Italian government to issue extremely restrictive measures on daily activities since 11 March 2020 ('lockdown'), which may have influenced metabolic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). aims study were investigate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics in children and adults with T1D during lockdown identify their potentially related factors.We enrolled 130 consecutive patients (30 (≤12 years), 24 teenagers (13-17 76 (≥18 years)) using either...
Abstract Objective Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) has been associated with a higher prevalence of osteoporosis, although most data rely on single-center studies limited sample size. We aimed to assess the fragility fractures and contributing factors in large cohort patients adrenal incidentalomas. Design Methods Medical records 1023 incidentalomas from 1990 2019 were reviewed, 735 selected. Clinically obtained electronic radiological images closest first endocrine evaluation, such...
Abstract 1 Stable isotopes signatures (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) of the most important tree‐dwelling ants in an olive orchard were examined, together with common herbivores, predators sap‐sucking insects. The consists separate subunits (trees) surrounded by a matrix grasses or bare ground, role such system is not fully understood. 2 None selected ant species was exclusive to trees because they also observed foraging on vegetation (mainly thistle) under tree crowns. Hence, relative contributions...
Abstract Context Chronic glucocorticoids excess leads to morphological and functional cardiac alterations, a substrate for arrhythmias. Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in adrenal incidentalomas is model of chronic endogenous hypercortisolism. Objective To investigate prevalence incidence atrial fibrillation (AF) large cohort patients with ACS. Design Retrospective study. Setting University hospital. Patients evaluated between 1990 2018 (n = 632), without pheochromocytoma, primary...
Abstract Purpose Screening of Cushing Syndrome (CS) and Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (MACS) in hypertensive patients is crucial for proper treatment. The aim the study was to investigate screening management hypercortisolism among with hypertension Italy. Methods A 10 item-questionnaire delivered referral centres European Italian Society Hypertension (ESH SIIA) a nationwide survey. Data were analyzed according type centre (excellence vs non-excellence), geographical area, medical...
1. The spatial arrangement of individuals and populations may have deep influences on all the biotic interactions within a community. 2. distribution nests ant Crematogaster scutellaris Olivier was analysed in an olive orchard central Italy. As this species inside tree trunks, regular structure simplified ecosystem help to reduce confounding effect habitat heterogeneity nests. In total, 531 trees were mapped their shape (size trunk) recorded. presence C. each assessed spring–summer autumn...
Various glucocorticoid replacement therapies (GRTs) are available for adrenal insufficiency (AI). However, their effectiveness in restoring rhythm and exposure lacks adequate biochemical markers. We described the diurnal salivary cortisol (SalF) cortisone (SalE) among different GRTs analysed associations between saliva-derived parameters life quality questionnaires.
Objective Many cases of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) have been described related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but no prospective data about follow-up are known. This prospective, longitudinal, 3-year, multicentre study aims explore the clinical peculiarities and outcome SAT in relation ascertained with antibody dosage. Methods All patients receiving diagnosis from November 2020 May 2022 were enrolled. Data on anamnesis, physical examination, blood tests (TSH, freeT4, freeT3, thyroglobulin,...
Abstract Changes in ground-foraging ant assemblages occurring along an agricultural intensification gradient were analysed Nicaragua (Central America). Five habitat types compared: secondary forest fragments, organic shade coffee and cocoa plantations, corn fields active pastures. Ants captured by tuna baiting following standardised protocols. Species richness diversity decreased the from to pasture, each of systems (cocoa, plantations) significantly differed diversity. composition also...
Pheochromocytomas are rare tumors which can present with heterogeneous secretion profiles, clinical manifestations, and radiologic appearance. Under a histopathological point of view, they be characterized as more or less aggressive the Pheochromocytoma Adrenal gland Scaled Score (PASS) Grading system for Paraganglioma (GAPP) score. The aim this study is to analyze texture analysis characteristics pheochromocytoma identify whether yield information aiding in diagnosis characterization those...
The effect of long-term glycemic variability upon corneal sub-basal nerve plexus (CSNP) morphology analyzed by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) has been poorly investigated the setting type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Our purpose was to analyze association between morphometric parameters CSNP and new markers a population patients with T1DM.Forty T1DM underwent: assessment diabetic neuropathy (DN); analysis subcutaneous advanced glycated end-products; IVCM scans CSNP. fully automated...
ABSTRACT Ovarian masses in the pediatric patient are uncommon. Children with ovarian tumors, however, pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges because their presentation can mimic other more common intraabdominal disorders tumor histology varies widely. The refinement of surgical techniques advent effective chemotherapy past 25 years has increased overall survival rates from approximately 20% to 70%, thus improving outcome for girls malignant tumors. This article summarizes current...
