Objectives: To investigate clinical characteristics, symptom profile, testing practices, treatment patterns and quality of life (QoL) among patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in Latin America.
Design: Data from the Adelphi Real World PAH Disease Specific Programme, a cross-sectional survey with retrospective data collection.
Setting: University/teaching hospital, regional centres, private practices and government institutions in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico.
An in-depth literature review of up to 2023 reveals 330 risk loci found by genetic association at ≤ 5 × 10, with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in at least one study of 160 pertinent publications. There are 225 loci found in East Asian (EAS), 106 in European (EU), 11 in African-American (AA), 18 Mixed American (MA), and 1 in Egyptian ancestries. Unexpectedly, most of these associations are found to date at ≤ 5 × 10 in a single ancestry.

Methods: We conducted a national, cross-sectional survey study to examine five kinds of XR: Immersive Virtual Environments, Screen-based Virtual Worlds, Virtual Simulators, Immersive Augmented Reality, and Non-immersive Augmented Reality.
We present a genome assembly from an individual (the sardine; Chordata; Actinopteri; Clupeiformes; Clupeidae). The genome sequence spans 869.40 megabases.
