Impact of renin-angiotensin system targeted therapy on aortic elastic properties assessed by computed tomography.

Background: Aortic stiffening is a well-known cardiovascular risk factor. Computed tomography (CT) has proven to be a valuable tool in the assessment of aortic elastic properties. Drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) play a central role in cardioprotective therapy.

Blood pressure reduction in difficult-to-control patients and the effect of a nurse-led program in Bulgaria.

Unlabelled: Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although there has been significant improvement in blood pressure (BP) control during the last decades, it is still far from optimal. Several strategies for hypertension management have been proposed, and among all - nurse-led programs seem encouraging.

Scintillation light detection in the 6-m drift-length ProtoDUNE Dual Phase liquid argon TPC.

DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6   6   6 m liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light.
