The Identification of Manure Spreading on Bare Soil through the Development of Multispectral Indices from Sentinel-2 Data: The Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) Case Study.

Satellite remote sensing is currently an established, effective, and constantly used tool and methodology for monitoring agriculture and fertilisation. At the same time, in recent years, the need for the detection of livestock manure and digestate spreading on the soil is emerging, and the development of spectral indices and classification processes based on satellite multispectral data acquisitions is growing. However, the application of such indicators is still underutilised and, given the polluting impact of livestock manure and digestate on soil, groundwater, and air, an in-depth study is needed to improve the monitoring of this practice.

Coping with unpredictable environments: fine-tune foraging microhabitat use in relation to prey availability in an alpine species.

Microhabitat utilisation holds a pivotal role in shaping a species' ecological dynamics and stands as a crucial concern for effective conservation strategies. Despite its critical importance, microhabitat use has frequently been addressed as static, centering on microhabitat preference. Yet, a dynamic microhabitat use that allows individuals to adjust to fine-scale spatio-temporal prey fluctuations, becomes imperative for species thriving in challenging environments.

Colchicine myopathy and neuromyopathy: two cases with different characteristics.

Colchicine, a long established anti-inflammatory agent now used in several rheumatologic conditions, acts by inhibiting microtubular polymerization, as it binds equimolarly to tubulin molecules. Cytoskeletal microtubules are crucial in processes of cell viability, such as mitosis and intracellular vesicle motility.Gastrointestinal side effects are quite common and often minor in nature or duration, whereas neuromuscular toxicity is rare.
