Article Synopsis
- * Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is), originally designed for type 2 diabetes, show promise in improving cardiovascular health, becoming a key treatment for HF management.
- * Recent studies suggest that SGLT2is may affect atrial remodeling, promoting the need to understand their molecular mechanisms to assess their potential role in preventing AF and HF progression.
The study analyzes with priority the bioclimatic conditions for tourist activities in two famous tourist areas in western Romania [(Băile Felix-Băile 1 Mai (BF_1 M) - Stâna de Vale - Vlădeasa and, respectively Băile Herculane (BH) - Semenic], from the perspective of the potential of health tourism and in the subsidiary of sports and camping tourism. Such researches are missing for western Romania. The main working tools in the evaluation of the tourist valences of the bioclimate include: the spatio-temporal analysis of the Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) bioclimatic index, of the TCI climate-tourism index and of the climate-tourism schemes (CTIS).

- Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes severe foodborne illnesses, particularly affecting children and the elderly, leading to complications like bloody diarrhea, kidney failure, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS).
- The case discusses the diagnosis and management of STEC-induced colitis, emphasizing the need for a thorough diagnostic process, including bacteriology, imaging, and colonoscopy to differentiate it from other conditions like ischemic colitis and inflammatory bowel disease.
- Although antibiotics are typically not recommended for STEC infections, they were administered in this case to prevent complications, and careful, multi-specialty investigations were crucial for effective treatment and minimizing symptoms.
This study analyzes for the first time uniformly and causally the level of pollution and air quality for the NE-Romania Region, one of the poorest region in the European Union. Knowing the level of pollution and air quality in this region, which can be taken as a benchmark due to its positional and economic-geographical attributes, responds to current scientific and practical needs. The study uses an hourly database (for five pollutants and five climate elements), from 2009 to 2020, from 19 air quality monitoring stations in northeastern Romania.
