Alterations in the Menstrual Cycle as a Peculiar Sign of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-analytic Approach.

Background: Menstrual irregularities are present in >30% of women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). These abnormalities will likely lead to reduced fertility and earlier menopause. T1DM management has changed over time, with even more emphasis on stringent levels of glycemic management.

Analysis of two-decade meteorological and air quality trends in Rome (Italy).

Unlabelled: This study presents a trend analysis of a two-decade (2000-2020) series of surface meteorological and air quality data measured in Rome (Italy). Data series are collected at three sites in Rome downtown and its coastal surroundings. This paper fills the gap due to missing or incomplete recent information about the meteorological and atmospheric composition tendencies in the Rome area.

Pituitary metastases from neuroendocrine neoplasms: case report and narrative review.

Purpose: Pituitary metastases (PM) are uncommon findings and are mainly derived from breast and lung cancers. No extensive review of PM from neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is on record. Here we describe a clinical case of PM from pancreatic NEN and review the clinical features of PM from NENs reported in the literature.

Determination of ultraviolet cosine-corrected irradiances and aerosol optical thickness by combined measurements with a Brewer spectrophotometer and a multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer.

Combined measurements of diffuse-to-global radiation ratio and global spectral irradiances in the UV are used to derive cosine-corrected UV irradiances and aerosol optical depth (AOD). The diffuse-to-global radiation ratio is used first in the cosine correction of the global irradiance, then to calculate absolutely calibrated direct irradiances. The Beer-Lambert law is applied to derive the UV AOD using independent measurements of the extraterrestrial solar flux.
