Enhancing insights: exploring the information content of calorespirometric ratio in dynamic soil microbial growth processes through calorimetry.

Catalytic activity of microbial communities maintains the services and functions of soils. Microbial communities require energy and carbon for microbial growth, which they obtain by transforming organic matter (OM), oxidizing a fraction of it and transferring the electrons to various terminal acceptors. Quantifying the relations between matter and energy fluxes is possible when key parameters such as reaction enthalpy (), energy use efficiency (related to enthalpy) (EUE), carbon use efficiency (CUE), calorespirometric ratio (CR), carbon dioxide evolution rate (CER), and the apparent specific growth rate () are known.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 4: experience from a single reference center.

Purpose: To characterize patients with APS type 4 among those affected by APS diagnosed and monitored at our local Reference Center for Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndromes.

Methods: Monocentric observational retrospective study enrolling patients affected by APS diagnosed and monitored in a Reference Center. Clinical records were retrieved and analyzed.

Evaluation of a large set of patients with Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome from a single reference centre in context of different classifications.

Purpose: To characterize patients with APS and to propose a new approach for their follow-up. Query ID="Q1" Text="Please check the given names and familynames."

Methods: Monocentric observational retrospective study enrolling patients referred to the Outpatients clinic of the Units of Endocrinology, Diabetology, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology of our Hospital for Autoimmune diseases.

Endocrine system after 2 years of COVID-19 vaccines: A narrative review of the literature.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the current knowledge on the potential endocrine adverse effects post-COVID-19 vaccines.

Methods: A PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus research was performed. Case reports, case series, original studies, and reviews written in English and published online up to 31 July 2022 were selected and reviewed.

When and why patients drop out from benign thyroid nodules follow-up: a single centre experience.

Purpose: Drop-out in clinical long-term follow-up is a general problem that is potentially harmful to patients. No data about patients that drop out from thyroid ultrasound follow-up is available literature. The aim of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the characteristics of patients that dropped out from ultrasound thyroid nodule follow-up.
