Recombinant Klotho administration after myocardial infarction reduces ischaemic injury and arrhythmias by blocking intracellular calcium mishandling and CaMKII activation.

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of death and morbidity. Klotho is a well-known anti-ageing factor with relevant cardioprotective actions, at least when renal dysfunction is present, but its actions are much less known when renal function is preserved. This study investigated Klotho as a biomarker and potential novel treatment of IHD-associated complications after myocardial infarction (MI) under preserved renal function.

Automated Computerized-Based Intervention to Identify Hypomagnesemia in Primary Care Patients With Arrhythmia.

Objectives: Hypomagnesemia early diagnosis and consequently early, timely magnesium supplementation is of utmost benefit, but it often goes underdiagnosed. The objective was to show and monitor an intervention to identify hypomagnesemia in patients with arrhythmia.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed in the laboratory.

Support for temporary protection of displaced populations in the EU: A conjoint experiment.

Millions of people were forced to flee Ukraine after Russia's invasion on February 24, 2022, one of the fastest displacements in decades. Citizens' response in EU countries (where most displaced Ukrainians arrived) has been considerably more positive than in past refugee crises. This study investigates several possible drivers of this difference.

Arm elevation involves changes in the whole spine: an exploratory study using EOS imaging.

Background: Few studies have assessed the participation of the spine in arm elevation. The primary aim of this exploratory study was to specify spinal movements during unilateral arm elevation.

Methods: We used an EOS imaging system to assess 2D global posture (Sagittal Vertical Axis [SVA], T1 and T9 tilt and Central Sacral Line [CSL]) and segmental spine curves (C3-C7 in the sagittal plane only, and T1-T6, T7-T12 and L1-L5 in the sagittal and frontal planes) for four different left arm elevation levels: in the sagittal (Sa) plane (30°Sa: reference position, 140°Sa and 180°Sa), and in the scapular (Sc) plane (180°Sc), in ten right-handed asymptomatic participants (5 women; mean age 24.

Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries.

Background: Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries. Adopting integrated strategies combining several control methods has been indicated as the best approach to prevent or reduce infections on grapevine propagation material. In recent years, electrolyzed water (EW) has emerged as a sustainable alternative for disinfection.
