Background: Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism is essential for successful parathyroid surgery, particularly in patients with previous negative imaging or reoperations.
Methods: A multicenter registry study was performed in 776 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism from 53 hospitals in Germany and Austria who underwent parathyroid surgery after preoperative F-choline or C-methionine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
Results: In 683 of 776 patients (88%) (78% female, aged 15-86 years), primary hyperparathyroidism was caused by a single-gland parathyroid adenoma.
Article Synopsis
- Inner Mongolia's grazed grasslands are key for researching the effects of long-term grazing on various environmental factors like soil health and vegetation, which can help understand responses to grazing and climate changes in temperate grasslands.
- The study includes extensive long-term data collection on soil moisture and temperature across three different scales: pedon (specific sites), field (regional sampling), and catchment (land use impacts), with advanced monitoring techniques employed.
- Five specific grazing sites have been monitored since 2004, including areas with no grazing and varying grazing intensities, utilizing various instruments to track soil conditions at multiple depths and assess overall ecosystem health.
The mechanisms governing bacteria transport and fate rely on their hydrophobicity and the wettability of porous media across a wide range of soil moisture conditions, extending from extreme dryness to highly saturated states. However, it largely remains unknown how transport, retention, and release mechanisms change in natural soil systems in such conditions. We thus optimized our previously published unique transport data for hydrophilic Escherichia coli (E.

In this context, it is important to determine whether technosols have appropriate physical properties for crop growth. In evapotranspiration covers, physical properties, such as bulk density, particle size distribution, total porosity, proportion of large pores, and available water are particularly important because they allow for robust crop growth, which subsequently determines the evapotranspiration capacity.
