Nighttime light extent and intensity explain the dynamics of human activity in coastal zones.

Studying human activity in coastal areas is crucial for urban planning, sustainability, and economic development. However, there is limited evidence of ongoing monitoring of human activities in these areas. Thus, a quantitative analysis of the spatio-temporal changes, trends, and variability of Nighttime light (NTL) in the Italian Coastal Zone over the past decade (2014-2023) was conducted to assess human activity dynamics.

A set of multidimensional indicators to assess the resilience and attractiveness of Italian provinces and municipalities (2010-2022 panel data).

This article provides a panel dataset on four capital dimensions (economic, human, social and physical) to study and promote the attractiveness and resilience of Italian territories. The dataset is articulated at the provincial and municipal level for the period 2010-2022. Data have been sourced from different open data repositories or collected through scraping downloads and have been elaborated in order to generate novel territorial indicators.

Transcatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Multicenter Propensity Score-Based Analysis.

Background: The prognostic impact of catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients has not yet been satisfactorily elucidated.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of CA of AF on clinical outcomes in a large cohort of HCM patients.

Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, 555 HCM patients with AF were enrolled, 140 undergoing CA and 415 receiving medical therapy.

Impact of endothelial shear stress on coronary atherosclerotic plaque progression and composition: A meta-analysis and systematic review.

Background And Aims: Intracoronary pressure gradients and translesional flow patterns have been correlated with coronary plaque progression and lesion destabilization. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between endothelial shear stress and plaque progression and to evaluate the effect of shear forces on coronary plaque features.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted in medical on-line databases.
