Validation of ACC/AHA and ESC Sudden Cardiac Death Risk Guidelines in Diverse Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Cohort: Stratification HCM Study.

Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major concern in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) have different guidelines for SCD risk stratification. Their comparative performance in diverse populations remains uncertain.

Biosurfactants Used in the Bioremediation of Soils Contaminated With Hydrocarbons - Overview of the State of the Art and Future Perspectives.

Background: The increasing industrialization and hydrocarbon use have led to concerning soil contamination. Oil spills and improper disposal of oily waste pose threats to ecosystems and human health. The recovery of these environments is essential, but separating oily components from soil remains challenging.

Aquatic macrophytes as a source of antifouling non-toxic against bacterial biofilms and golden mussel attachment: a possible role of quorum-sensing interference.

Biofouling in freshwater and marine environments developed on man-made aquatic surfaces causes significant economic losses. Still, this problem is magnified when it comes to invasive species, such as the golden mussel. One of the alternatives to combat it is the use of antifouling solutions; however, the vast majority focus on solutions for the marine environment.

Ectopic expression of a truncated NLR gene from wild enhances resistance to .

causes devastating vascular wilt diseases in numerous crop species, resulting in substantial yield losses. The - (FOC) model system enables the identification of meaningful genotype-phenotype correlations and was applied in this study to evaluate the effects of overexpressing an NLR gene () from against pathogen infection. overexpression (OE) lines exhibited enhanced resistance to FOC without any discernible phenotype penalties.
