Body composition of Slovak midlife women with cardiovascular complications
The aim of this study was to analyse differences in body composition of women with and without cardiovascular complications. Bioelectrical parameters were measured with bioimpedance monofrequency analyser (BIA 101) and tissue electric properties were ...

Objective To evaluate the impairment of nitric oxide (NO)–mediated vascular function in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) compared with healthy controls through passive leg movement (PLM), which is a noninvasive technique largely dependent on NO bioavailability. Methods Twenty‐one patients with SSc and 21 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls were

Asymptotic independence in more than two dimensions and its implications on risk management
Abstract In extreme value theory, the presence of asymptotic independence signifies that joint extreme events across multiple variables are unlikely. Although well understood in a bivariate context, the concept remains relatively unexplored when addressing the nuances of simultaneous occurrence of extremes in higher dimensions.

A Markov approach to credit rating migration conditional on economic states
Abstract We develop a model for credit rating migration that accounts for the impact of economic state fluctuations on default probabilities. The joint process for the economic state and the rating is modelled as a time‐homogeneous Markov chain. While the rating process itself possesses the Markov property only under restrictive conditions, methods ...

This study globally shows that the EWGSOP2 algorithm is a valid tool even in hospitalized older patients. In fact, every step enhances the predictive validity of the algorithm, suggesting, however, that SARC‐F and muscle strength can still be valuable tools for negative clinical outcomes when body composition data are not available.

Abstract The study investigated whether bicycle compared with car commuting, over relatively small distances, has positive effects on physiological variables, cardiometabolic fitness and CO2 output in the atmosphere. Bike Commuters (11 M, 15 F; age [median value (interquartile range)] 51.5 (38.3–56.8) years; body mass index [BMI] 22.8 (21.0–24.1) kg m ...
