Article Synopsis
- * Sites with warmer, wetter conditions and more species generally saw increased biomass, while arid, species-poor areas experienced declines, alongside notable changes in seasonal plant growth patterns.
- * Factors like grazing and nutrient input didn't consistently predict biomass changes, indicating that grasslands are undergoing substantial transformations that could affect food security, biodiversity, and carbon storage, particularly in dry regions.
Repetition of thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology after an initial nondiagnostic result: Is there an optimal timing?
Endocrinol Diabetes Nutr (Engl Ed)
May 2024
Introduction: It is suggested to wait at least 3 months to repeat a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to avoid possible inflammatory cytological changes induced by a previous procedure. This study evaluated the influence of the interval between 2 FNACs in a cohort with a previous non-diagnostic (ND) FNAC. We analysed the occurrence of ND or atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) results in the second FNAC, based on the intervals between procedures.

To address the effects of livestock on tree recruitment in the face of ongoing debates about their impacts, we conducted a 33-year meta-analysis in Quercus-dominated agroforestry systems. Our analysis revealed a consistently negative effect of livestock on oak acorns, seedlings, and saplings.
