Article Synopsis
- Grassland afforestation negatively impacts biodiversity, particularly in soil microbial communities, causing biotic homogenisation and declining beta diversity over time.
- The study analyzes the effects of afforestation on prokaryotic and fungal diversity in Argentina's Pampas, showing different responses between the two groups.
- Findings suggest that low heterogeneity in colonizing prokaryotic communities contributes to homogenisation, while fungal diversity decline is driven by factors other than extinction, highlighting the need for further research on microbial diversity impacts in afforested areas.
Introduction: Due to the early diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism the musculoskeletal manifestations of this disease are becoming less frequent. When this disease manifests secondary to a giant adenoma, it presents with more aggressive symptoms and can have important repercussions such as the hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy. There are few reported cases of hyperparathyroidism secondary to a giant adenoma in the literature, as the presence of a brown tumor is often misinterpreted as a metastatic lesion from an unknown primary tumor.

Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in two areas of North Italy. Two-hundred cases hospitalized for HCC and 400 controls were recruited.
Background/aims: The role of coffee in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of coffee in HCC, taking the main risk factors into account.
Methods: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in an area of northern Italy.
Our aim was to evaluate the role of N-acetyltransferase (NAT2) and glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 (GSTM1 and GSTT1) polymorphisms in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) according to cigarette smoking, taking into account hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viral infection as well as alcohol consumption. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in 2 areas of north Italy. Cases (n = 200) were patients hospitalized for HCC, and controls (n = 400) were patients admitted for reasons other than liver disease, neoplasms and tobacco- and alcohol-related diseases.
