Haemostasis is crucial in thyroid surgery to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. In the present study, we evaluated efficiency safety of Harmonic scalpel when compared conventional suture ligation open total thyroidectomy. We enrolled 265 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for multinodular disease since October 2011 up 2013. They were randomized into two groups: 141 group HS (Harmonic Scalpel), 124 CT (Conventional tecnique). recorded following data: operative time,...
Coastal areas are among the most biologically productive, dynamic and valued ecosystems on Earth. They subject to changes that greatly vary in scale, time duration additional pressures resulting from anthropogenic activities. The aim of this work was investigate shoreline evolution main environmental coastal stretch between towns Licata Gela (in Gulf Gela, Sicily, Italy). methodology used included analysis of: (i) over long- medium-term periods (1955–2019 1989–2019, respectively), (ii) dune...
Coastal dynamic is the complex result of multiple natural and human processes, past future coastal behavior studies become fundamental to support zone management. However, reliability evolution strongly dependent on analyzed time interval. The longer period is, more reliable shoreline change analysis forecast position will be. present study showed 50-years Catania plain (Southern Italy), a densely populated area where human-induced processes profoundly changed dynamics. Landsat Sentinel...
Abstract The coastal region of Augusta, eastern Sicily, Italy, is a densely populated zone, where human pressures profoundly shaped the and land dynamics. So far, understanding interaction between natural processes in modelling geomorphology still quite challenging. However, environmental monitoring poses bases for managing areas properly. Therefore, aim this research was first to understand medium‐term shoreline changes along Augusta Bay 1972 2021, then assess main local modifications...
Coastal depositional environments are the site of complex interactions between continental and marine processes. Barrier islands highly dynamic coastal systems, typical these transitional environments, affected by sea level changes accumulation transgressive deposits with landwards migration coast. The offshore Marzamemi (Syracuse Province, Sicily), in south-eastern portion Hyblean foreland, represents an excellent for study their connection sea-level changes. available dataset consisted new...
This deliverable presents the generation of EUNIS habitat maps for Europe as a whole and each pilot areas in REST-COAST. Subsequently, it assignment semi-quantitative scores contribution (sub)habitat to five key ecosystem services applying rank scale 0 (none), 1 (very low contribution), 2 (low 3 (medium 4 (high contribution) 5 high contribution). It also describes IUCN Red List Habitats depicted (sub)habitats areas. And finally, assess coastal system behaviour restoration effects on...
Abstract The Mediterranean coastlines are densely populated zones which host key socio‐economic and commercial activities. For this reason, coastal areas vulnerable sites in case of natural disasters as tsunamis that can strike coasts causing widespread damage to the population facilities. these reasons, several studies were performed over last decade study impact tsunami waves on coasts. This research assessed inundation risk due a wave hit southeastern coast Lampedusa Island. low‐lying...
The assessment of the vulnerability a site to tsunami events should take into consideration geomorphological setting, which is strongly determined by stratigraphic framework area. Lampedusa island located in central portion Sicilian Channel (Mediterranean Sea, Italy), where significant incidence tsunamis (with wave runup above 15 m) caused earthquakes and submarine landslides has been historically documented. This work shows differences between western south-eastern sectors island. update...
Tectonic, paleoenvironmental, and paleoclimatic unstable conditions preceding the onset of Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) highly affected marine life. Changes in calcareous plankton association are overall registered Mediterranean. They consist a general transition from abundant well-diversified planktonic associations to strictly oligotypic assemblages that precede their total disappearance at evaporitic precipitation. In this work, an accurate quantitative analysis plankton, both...

The quantitative analysis of the calcareous nannofossil content yield in 600 m thick succession drilled at ODP Site 1123 (offshore New Zealand), considered as a reference section for Southern Ocean region, allowed recognition 43 bioevents distributed along last 20 Myr. correlation with excellent magnetostratigraphic record resulted attribution numerical ages position detected horizons. Many marker species used previous zonation were also 1123, but others revealed to be absent or scarce...
