Purpose: Greater than 65% of all cardiac mortality is related to coronary artery disease (CAD). Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) aims to reduce cardiovascular risk and number of hospital readmissions. Cardiac maintenance programs (CMPs) are designed to sustain or improve health after completing early CR.

One third of the tested extracts showed in vitro inhibitory effects comparable to the positive control oxozeaenol, an inhibitor of TAK1. Among them, the extract derived from the roots and rhizomes of (i.

This study investigates the impact of the school-based lifestyle intervention program JuvenTUM 3 on physical activity, physical fitness, serum biomarkers and microvascular function.
Methods: We studied 434 children (10-11 years) in a cluster-randomized setting (8 intervention schools, IG; 7 control schools, CG) over 18 months.
Scalable Fabrication of Nanostructured Tin Oxide Anodes for High-Energy Lithium-Ion Batteries.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Article Synopsis
- Tin and tin oxides are potential candidates for anodes in lithium-ion batteries, thanks to their high theoretical capacity and low cost, but they face commercialization challenges primarily due to issues with significant volume expansion during use.
- Nanostructured electrodes help with the volume expansion problem but usually come with complex synthesis processes that hinder scalability and cost-effectiveness.
- The proposed solution involves a simple and scalable method using electroplating and electrolytic oxidation of tin, which creates additive-free tin oxide anodes that demonstrate excellent capacity and cycle life, making them suitable for future high-energy lithium-ion batteries.
Background: Childhood obesity is not only associated with adult obesity but also with increased risk of adult onset of type 2 diabetes and subsequent coronary heart disease. The potential effects of school-based health intervention programmes on cardiovascular risk and surrogate markers are unclear, as only few studies have attempted to investigate a complete risk profile including a detailed laboratory analysis or micro- and macrovascular function. In this study a comprehensive school-based randomized intervention programme will be investigated in 10-14-year old children addressing the influence of lifestyle intervention on inactivity, cardiometabolic risk factors and early signs of vascular disease.
