Article Synopsis
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) causes narrowed arteries in the legs, leading to leg pain during walking, which hampers daily activities; supervised exercise can help improve walking ability.
- This study will compare a cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) program involving supervised exercise and education with usual care in 66 patients who have recently undergone lower limb revascularisation for PAD.
- The effectiveness of the CR program will be evaluated based on improvements in walking capacity and quality of life over a 6-week period.
The Irish Sea and the Baltic Sea are nowadays still the two most Cs-137 contaminated Seas worldwide. However, the origins of this contaminations are completely different. While the Baltic Sea was unintentionally contaminated due to global fallout after the accident in the Chernobyl nuclear powerplant in 1986, the Irish sea was intentionally used for low level liquid radioactive waste discharges from the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing facility (called Windscale until 1981) between the 1950s and 1990s.

Certified reference material (CRM) for natural (K,Pb,Po,Ra,Ra,Th,Th,Th,U,U, andU) and anthropogenic (Cs,Pu, andAm) radionuclides in marine sediment from the Baltic Sea (IAEA-465) has been developed. Information values are given for Pu,Pu andPu. Altogether 27 laboratories participated in this exercise.

- Doctors and psychologists in psychiatric hospitals start teaching right away, even if they haven't learned how to teach properly.
- A survey was sent out to gather opinions from teachers at medical schools in German-speaking countries about the skills and training they need for teaching.
- Most respondents agreed that learning how to teach well is very important, showing strong interest in practical teaching methods like bedside teaching and improving communication skills.
Three new coordination polymers (CPs) constructed from the linker 1,4-di(dithiocarboxylate) (BDDTC)─the sulfur-analog of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC)─together with Mn-, Zn-, and Fe-based inorganic SBUs are reported with description of their structural and electronic properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed structural diversity ranging from one-dimensional chains in [Mn(BDDTC)(DMF)] () to two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb sheets observed for [Zn(BDDTC)][Zn(DMF)(HO)] (). Gas adsorption experiments confirmed a 3D porous structure for the mixed-valent material [Fe(BDDTC)(OH)] ().
