Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure
ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

Reactive species involved in higher seeds germination and shoots vigor through direct plasma exposure and plasma-activated liquids [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Cold atmospheric plasma treatments have been applied on lenses seeds and shoots to improve their germination and vigor rates. Two approaches have been considered: direct plasma exposure and plasma activation of liquids (tap water, demineralized water and liquid fertilizer).

Effect of stellar wind on the efficiency of plasma radio emission from exoplanet HD189733b [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 On the example of the exoplanet HD 189733 an influence of stellar activity on the efficiency of the plasma mechanism of radio emission generation of the exoplanet and the properties of this emission are considered. The plasma generation mechanism can be effectively implemented in the plasmasphere of exoplanets with a weak magnetic field and a ...

Neuro-hormonal effects of physical activity in the elderly. [PDF]
, 2013 Thanks to diagnostic and therapeutic advances, the elderly population is continuously increasing in the western countries. Accordingly, the prevalence of most chronic age-related diseases will increase considerably in the next decades, thus it will be ...

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.This post hoc analysis of the PANORAMA‐HF paediatric heart failure trial evaluates the correlation of baseline and clinical changes in NT‐proBNP and clinical outcomes in children with heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction. This is the first prospective, randomized large‐scale study to demonstrate that changes in NT‐proBNP levels ...

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Episodes of worsening heart failure (HF) are a major cause of unplanned hospitalizations. Their onset is usually preceded by an early increase in intracardiac pressures with subsequent worsening of symptoms due to congestion. Implantable devices allowing daily remote pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) monitoring are useful to identify early ...

Differential renal effects of candesartan at high-and ultra-high doses in diabetic mice: potential role of ACE2/AT2R/Mas [PDF]
, 2016 High doses of Ang II receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) are renoprotective in diabetes. Underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We evaluated whether high/ultra-high doses of candesartan (ARB) up-regulate angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Ang II type 2 ...
