Sex differences in the prognosis of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia detected on Holter recording.

Background: Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a common finding during cardiac evaluation and has been linked to increased mortality. While some studies report a sex difference, most data stem from research cohorts.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of NSVT in a real-life outpatient clinic, focusing on sex differences in mortality.

eDNA-Based Survey of Fish Species in Water Bodies Using Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) for Application of Developing Automatic Sampler.

The monitoring of species in a habitat is important to ensure biological diversity. Environmental DNA (eDNA) can infer the presence-absence of species and enable rapid action to avoid threatening factors in ecosystems in the case of non-indigenous species. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for molecular amplification are rapidly gaining popularity in species detection, but LAMP remains an underutilized method for eDNA-based monitoring practices.

Characterization and Validation of a Lyophilized Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for the Detection of Esox lucius.

In many ways, globalization is beneficial, but in one way, it promotes the spread of alien (invasive) species through international trade and transport. In different habitats, Esox lucius (northern pike) can be considered a regionally alien species, and this fish tends to establish a higher density population than desired in fresh water. Early identification of such invasive species using sensitive and quick methods is important to be able to take immediate measures and avoid environmental problems.

Comparative evaluation of loop-mediated isothermal amplification and PCR for detection of Esox lucius housekeeping genes for use in on-site environmental monitoring.

Esox lucius (northern pike) is an invasive species in fresh water and causes extreme impacts in the local habitat. Northern pike easily replaces the local native species and disrupts the regional ecosystem. Traditionally, in connection with environmental monitoring, invasive species are identified using PCR through species-specific DNA.
