Body composition of Slovak midlife women with cardiovascular complications

open access: yesAnthropological Review, 2016
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 ...

Endothelial Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: The Passive Leg Movement Technique in the Assessment of Nitric Oxide–Mediated Vascular Impairment

open access: yesACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
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

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease: a rare and enigmatic cause of pulmonary hypertension—a case report

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare form of pulmonary hypertension characterized by remodelling of the pulmonary venules. PVOD and pulmonary arterial hypertension share similar clinical presentation.

Asymptotic independence in more than two dimensions and its implications on risk management

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
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.

Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis and brain natriuretic peptide in the evaluation of patients with chronic kidney disease in hemodialitic treatment

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2022
Introduction: Setting dry weight (DW) in haemodialysis (HD) patients is still an hard issue. Several clinical, haematochimical and instrumental parameters have been considered.

A Markov approach to credit rating migration conditional on economic states

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
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 ...

European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People Algorithm: Step‐by‐Step Relation With Length of Hospitalization

open access: yesJournal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 760-769, March 2026.
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.

THE USEFULNESS OF THE BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE VECTOR ANALYSIS

open access: yesStudia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai: Educatio Artis Gymnasticae, 2016
Bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) is valid for body composition analysis both in healthy and pathological population. It is a useful method to evaluate tissue hydration.

Commuting by bicycle (vs. by car) is associated with improved aerobic power, microvascular function and diminished CO2 output in the atmosphere

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 834-848, 1 March 2026.
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 ...
