Socio‐economic status and the effect of guideline‐directed medical therapy in the STRONG‐HF study
Abstract Aims Acute heart failure (AHF) impacts millions globally, with outcomes varying based on socio‐economic status (SES). Methods SES measured by annual household income, years of education and medical insurance coverage. Each patient's income and education level relative to the median or mean, respectively, in the country was calculated, and ...

We utilized DoE, HTE and microwave synthesis to develop a catalytic amidation protocol that follows the principles of green chemistry through use of catalysis to improve atom economy, biorenewable solvent, high substrate loadings and energy efficient microwave heating. Abstract The formation of amides is one of the most essential transformations in the

The endogenous Coxiella burnetii plasmid encodes a functional toxin–antitoxin system
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and causative agent of Q fever. Here we report that the C. burnetii genome encodes 11 toxin–antitoxin systems, which is highly unusual for intracellular bacteria, and that one TA system is encoded on the large endogenous plasmid found in almost all C. burnetii isolates.

Erratum: "The problem of deficiency indices for discrete Schrödinger operators on locally finite graphs" [PDF]
In this note we answer negatively to our conjecture concerning the deficiency indices. More precisely, given any non-negative integer $n$, there is locally finite graph on which the adjacency matrix has deficiency indices $(n,n)$.

Early Feeding In Lake Trout Fry (salvelinus Namaycush) As A Mechanism For Ameliorating Thiamine Deficiency Complex [PDF]
Recruitment failure of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in the Great Lakes has been attributed in part to the consumption of alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) by adult lake trout, leading to Thiamine Deficiency Complex (TDC) and early mortality in fry. The

Bilateral Segmental Optic Disc Edema in Vitamin B1 Deficiency [PDF]
Introduction: Thiamine is an important vitamin that serves as a crucial cofactor for glucose metabolism. As a result, thiamine deficiency affects many organ systems and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality.

Beryllium in Ultra-Lithium-Deficient Halo Stars - The Blue Straggler Connection [PDF]
There are nine metal-deficient stars that have Li abundances well below the Li plateau that is defined by over 100 unevolved stars with temperatures above 5800 K and values of [Fe/H] $<$ $-$1.0. Abundances of Be have been determined for most of these ultra-Li-deficient stars in order to investigate the cause of the Li deficiencies.
