The Near-Earth Didymos-Dimorphos binary system after the NASA/DART impact: rotationally resolved spectral characterization.
No full textIn this data collection, we present new spectra of the binary asteroid Didymos obtained 25 days after DART's impact and two months later. These observations allowed us to investigate the spectroscopic rotation of Didymos, and geometric analyses were performed to identify the source regions corresponding to each spectrum. Although the spectra are consistent with the pre-impact behavior of the system and confirm its S-type taxonomic classification, the spectral slopes exhibit a slight increasing trend from October to December. Additionally, subtle variations were tentatively identified in correspondence with secondary eclipse/occultation events observed in both October and December.
The spectroscopic data were acquired using the Copernico Telescope (INAF-OAPD) in Asiago, Italy; the Large Binocular Telescope (INAF) on Mount Graham, Arizona; and the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) in La Palma, Spain. Observations were conducted using the AFOSC instrument on the Copernico Telescope and the MODS instrument on the Large Binocular Telescope, covering the spectral range of 0.5–0.9 µm.
This dataset includes:
• Raw calibration files: Bias, flat-field, and lamp data.
• Spectra of the solar analog Landolt SA 98-978 and Didymos, obtained on different dates:
o Copernico Telescope: October 18, 2022; December 26, 2022; and December 27, 2022.
o Large Binocular Telescope: October 18, 2022.
• Reduced spectra of Didymos from October 19, 2022, acquired using the GTC. These are provided as three text files.
Additionally, a log file named Log.txt is included. This file summarizes key metadata for each dataset, such as file name, object, and observation date (FILENAME, OBJECT, DATE-OBS)
Dataset for Variability in the shape of the active length–streamflow relationship in temporary streams: insights from an empirical analysis
No full textThis dataset includes data from 45 different catchments and case studies. The data includes joint observations of drainage density and streamflow at the outlet, and is used to evaluate the shape of the correlation between these two variables. Furthermore, code for fitting model parameters to the data is provided
Fragility fractures might be predicted by the overall cardiovascular burden in endogenous Cushing syndrome
No full textEndogenous CS represents a complex condition associated with a negative impact on long-term mortality and morbidity. Among the various complications, cardiovascular and skeletal issues stand out as particularly debilitating . However, these intriguing findings indicate the overall burden of cardiovascular morbidity as potential novel shared predictors of damage affecting the bone-vascular axis, and impacting the risk of fracture, extending beyond the mere degree of cortisol excess.
The present study is the first that offers a holistic assessment of the interplay between fracture risk, bone quality, and cardiovascular morbidity in overt endogenous CS
Participatory Geographic-Information-System-Based Citizen Science: Highland Trails Contamination due to Mountaineering Tourism in the Dolomites
No full textEnvironmental pollution is a persistent problem in terrestrial ecosystems, including remote mountain areas. This study investigates the extent and patterns of littering on three popular hiking trails among mountaineers and tourists in the Dolomites range located in northeastern Italy.
The data was collected adopting a citizen science approach with the participation of university students surveying the trails and recording the macroscopic waste items through a GPS-based offline platform. The waste items were categorized according to their material type, usage, and geographical location,
and the sorted data was applied to Esri GIS ArcMapTM 10.8.1
Texture analysis can predict response to Etoposide-Doxorubicin-Cisplatin in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma
No full textBackground: The adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy originating from the adrenal cortex. These patients usually undergo chemotherapy with etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin and mitotane (EDP-M) in case of locally advanced or metastatic ACC. CT radiomics showed to be useful in adrenal pathologies. The study aimed to analyze the association between response to EDP-M treatment and CT textural features at diagnosis in patients with locally advanced or metastatic ACCs.
Methods: We enrolled 17 patients with advanced ACC who underwent CT before and after EDP-M therapy. The response to treatment was evaluated according to RECIST 1.1, Choi, and volumetric criteria. Based on the aforementioned criteria, the patients were classified as responder and not responder. With LifeX software textural features were extracted form the biggest lesion in contrast enhanced images of staging CT. ROC curves were drawn for the variables that were significantly different (p<0.05) between the two groups.
Results: Long-run high grey level emphasis (LRHGLE_GLRLM) and histogram kurtosis were significantly different between responder and not responder groups (p=0.04) and the multivariate ROC curve combining the two features showed a very good AUC (0.900; 95%IC: 0.724-1.000) in discriminating responders from not responded. More heterogeneous tissue texture of staging CT in locally advanced or metastatic ACC could predict the positive response to EDP-M.
Conclusions: Adrenal texture is able to predict the response to EDP-M therapy in patients with advanced ACC

Verteporfin induces apoptosis and reduces the stem cell-like properties in Neuroblastoma tumour-initiating cells through inhibition of the YAP/TAZ pathway
No full textData and manuscript. We evaluated the pharmacological targeting of YAP/TAZ with the YAP/TAZ-TEAD inhibitor Verteporfin (VP) in Tumour Initiating Cells (TICs) derived from High-Risk Neuroblastoma patients. VP treatment suppresses YAP/TAZ expression, induces apoptosis and causes the re-organization of the cytoskeleton reducing cells migration and clonogenic ability. Moreover, VP reduces the percentage of side population cells and ABC transporters involved in drug resistance, and the percentage of stem cell subpopulations CD133+ and CD44+ of TICs. Finally, we demonstrated that VP sensitizes TICs to the standard drugs used for neuroblastoma therapy etoposide and cis-platin opening the way to use VP as drug repositioning candidate for recurrent neuroblastoma
