Background: Ceramide and phosphatidylcholine lipids-based risk score (CERT2) has shown a strong prognostic value in predicting cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with ischemic heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of CERT2 risk score in patients with heart failure (HF).
Methods: The current study combines data for 4234 subjects from the COMMANDER-HF trial and 1227 subjects from the GISSI-HF trial, which enrolled patients with a history of HF.
Article Synopsis
- Coastal areas face rising seawater influence, impacting gardening practices, particularly with exotic species that may introduce invasive plants.
- This study evaluated the salinity tolerance of native geophytes to explore their potential as ornamental plants in salty coastal environments.
- Results showed that while both species exhibit some tolerance to low to moderate salinity, they do not qualify as halophytes; their ornamental use may be viable in these conditions.
Coastal ecotones can disrupt natural conditions, yielding intricate ecological contexts where salinity plays a variable role. The aim of this study was to assess the salinity effect on three species representatives of semifixed dune (Crucianella maritima, Helianthemum caput-felis and Teucrium dunense). Field data were collected to assess plant cover in semifixed dunes, ecotone with other coastal habitats, and artificial Posidonia oceanica wracks.

For this purpose, we assessed left ventricular (LV) function and circulating cardiac biomarkers at different time points in a rat model of cardiac arrest (CA).
Methods And Results: Rats were divided into two groups: control and post-ROSC rats.
