Abstract Background The movement and spatial ecology of an animal depends on its morphological and functional adaptations to its environment.In fossorial animals, adaptations to the underground life help to face peculiar ecological challenges, very different from those of epigeal species, but may constrain their movement ability.Methods We made a l
Abstract In this study, we aimed to facilitate the current diagnostic assessment of glaucoma by analyzing multiple features and introducing a new cross-sectional optic nerve head (ONH) feature from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.The data (n = 100 for both glaucoma and control) keypad wire were collected based on structural, functional, d
Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are dysregulated in multiple human cancers and they are highly involved in tumor progression.Previous studies have identified the oncogenic lncRNA HOXD cluster antisense RNA 1 (HOXD-AS1) in human cancers, while its roles in cervical cancer (CC) remain unclear.Herein we intended to characterize the
Through the classification of current and historical aerial photosbetween 1973 and 2006, we analysed the evolution of size, shape and connectivity of 59 mountain meadows (maggenghi) of the Pejo district (Trentino, Northern Italy).The maggenghi are scattered patches within a forested matrix.We conducted the same analysis on an Austro-Hungarian cadas
