Thyroid function, autoimmunity, thyroid volume, and metabolic profile in people with Hashimoto thyroiditis.

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is associated with high cardiovascular risk. Thyroid volume has a notable dispersion of values in these patients. This study aims to clarify the association between thyroid antibodies, thyroid morphology, insulin resistance, and lipid profile in patients with HT.

Sensitive Monitoring of the Minimum Inhibitor Concentration under Real Inorganic Scaling Scenarios.

Flow assurance is a long-term challenge for oil and gas exploration as it plays a key role in designing safe and efficient operation techniques to ensure the uninterrupted transport of reservoir fluids. In this regard, the sensitive monitoring of the scale formation process is important by providing an accurate assessment of the minimum inhibitor concentration (MIC) of antiscale products. The optimum dosage of antiscale inputs is of pivotal relevance as their application at concentrations both lower and higher than MIC can imply pipeline blockages, critically hindering the entire supply chain of oil-related inputs and products to society.

CSF α-Synuclein Seed Amplification Assay in Patients With Atypical Parkinsonian Disorders.

Background And Objectives: There is no disease-modifying treatment of corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), 2 disorders characterized by their striking phenotypic, and, in CBS, pathologic heterogeneity. Seed amplification assays (SAAs) could enable the detection of neuropathologic processes, such as α-synuclein (αSyn) copathology, that affect the success of future disease-modifying treatment strategies. The primary objective was to assess possible αSyn copathology in CBS and PSP, as detected in CSF using an αSyn SAA (αSyn-SAA).

Data set on soil physicochemical parameters, biomass accumulation and carbon credit generation in different management systems in Rio Verde, GO, Brazil.

Soil organic carbon is critical to reducing anthropogenic CO emissions, highlighting the importance of carbon sequestration on agricultural lands. No-till agricultural practices have been shown to be effective in improving soil quality and sequestering carbon, thereby supporting global efforts to mitigate climate change. Based on the edaphoclimatic conditions of the region, five reference areas were selected, with different characteristics in terms of conditions (A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5) in 5 different farms in the municipality of Rio Verde, GO, Brazil.
