ABSTRACT Using a state‐of‐the‐art structural gravity model, we investigate the impact of various (post‐)colonial cocoa trading arrangements on the cocoa trade between developing cocoa producer countries and rich industrial cocoa consumer nations in the time period 1951–1999. We find that in particular the trading arrangements of the European (Economic)

Towards a Trade War in 2025: Real Threats for the World Economy, False Promises for the US
ABSTRACT Using the MIRAGE‐Power computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, we simulate a trade war initiated in 2025 by the new US administration. The central scenario consists in a 60‐percentage point tariff increase on all US imports from China, a 10‐percentage point tariff increase on all products from other partners, except Canada and Mexico, and ...

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Multiscale four‐dimensional imaging of cardiac remodelling after myocardial infarction
Abstract figure legend Multiscale 4D imaging framework for integrated phenotyping of post‐infarction remodelling. Myocardial infarction triggers dynamic changes across mechanical, haemodynamic and biological axes, progressing from acute injury and inflammation to extracellular matrix remodelling and scar maturation.

Abstract figure legend β‐Hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB) enhances fast‐twitch muscle and mitochondrial function in D2.mdx mice. Male DBA/2J (wild‐type) and D2.mdx mice aged 3 or 6 months received daily β‐hydroxy‐β‐methylbutyrate (HMB; 1 mg g−1 day−1) via drinking water for 8 weeks. Fast‐twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and slow‐twitch soleus (SOL)
