- * The researchers found that existing epithets are often redundant and proposed clear definitions for three terms (non-perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral) to promote a uniform understanding and improve interdisciplinary collaboration.
Absolute cardiovascular risk of an individual with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is greater when compared to the general population, and several factors have proven to be important for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) in these patients, including factors related to the underlying disease, such as the systemic inflammatory response, drugs used in its treatment, and a higher prevalence of traditional risk factors for CAD.

Patients with RA answered a questionnaire focused on their general knowledge of the risk factors for CAD, as well as on the recognition of the risk factors that they possess.

The strength of the relationships among these variables can also differ between different organismal groups. Here, we analyzed data on stream diatoms and insects from a high-latitude drainage basin to investigate these relationships.
