No Obesity Paradox for Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction: Insights from the VIDA Multicenter Study.

Previous studies showed that, paradoxically, obese patients with heart failure (HF) have better clinical outcomes compared to overweight, normal, or underweight patients. Scientific societies emphasize the importance of integrating quality of life (QoL) assessment in cardiovascular care. However, the association between QoL and weight remains understudied.

Rights Amidst Commercial Gentrification: A Comparative Case Study of Latinx Business Zones in Chicago and Santa Ana.

Gentrification in commercial districts of Latinx communities is raising debates among local stakeholders about how to best pursue revitalization. Through a comparative case study, we examine these debates in the context of the Right to the City and gentefication. How do stakeholders in two Latinx commercial districts envision revitalization projects amidst ongoing gentrification? We analyze the perspectives and policies of non-profit staff, business- and commercial property owners, in Puerto Rico Town Chicago and La Cuatro in Downtown Santa Ana.

Medical test and employee's autonomy. Confidentiality of data and non-discrimination.

Monitoring health is one of the basic principles of Occupational Health and Safety. The main objective of this monitoring will be the detection of possible damage to health arising from work. They try to discover the effects that the inherent risks with the work may cause the worker, which will show, given the case, through an alteration of health or the state of organic and functional state, both physically and mentally.

Experimental and theoretical approaches to unveil the interaction mechanisms of carbon dots with 4-nitrophenol.

Developing a non-toxic, cost-effective, biocompatible, selective, and sensitive optical sensor for the optical detection of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) has been challenging yet significant. Among carbon-based materials, the selectivity of carbon dots toward 4-NP is a key area of research, and a comprehensive understanding is crucial to broaden its practical application. Our unique contribution to this field involves synthesizing and testing different N-doped carbon dots (CDs) for selective 4-NP detection through absorbance and photoluminescence.

ABO*cisAB allele with unusual phenotype in a Brazilian family.

Background: Among the alleles of the ABO system, cisAB and B(A) are the most intriguing due to their ability to encode a glycosyltransferase that can synthesize both A and B antigens. This dual activity leads to the formation of the AB phenotype, even in the presence of the O allele; resolution is achieved by molecular analyses.

Case Presentation And Methods: We describe herein a Brazilian family in which the mother (M42.
