Background: Women with severe primary mitral regurgitation (MR) have lower surgery rates than men and could suffer from delayed referral for mitral valve (MV) intervention, exposing them to an increased risk of postoperative adverse outcomes.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the sex-based differences in patients with primary MR.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 420 patients (median age: 62 years, 26% women) with primary MR due to valve prolapse referred for preoperative assessment who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how facial expressions in domestic hens can indicate their emotions and sentience, a topic previously overlooked for birds.
- Researchers filmed hens in different emotional situations to analyze changes in head feather position and skin redness across various states of calmness, reward, and fear.
- Findings revealed that hens exhibited distinct facial displays, such as blushing and feather fluffing, which demonstrate their emotional responses and can enhance understanding of their welfare.
Objectives: To evaluate in vivo 1) the bioavailability of trans-resveratrol when administered through sublingual capsules; 2) the effect of resveratrol on the protein composition of the acquired enamel pellicle (AEP).
Design: Ten volunteers received a sublingual capsule containing 50 mg of trans-resveratrol. Unstimulated saliva was then collected after 0, 30, 60, and 120 min and AEP was collected after 120 min following administration of the capsule.
