Communicating climate change and biodiversity loss with local populations: exploring communicative utopias in eight transdisciplinary case studies.

Climate change and biodiversity loss trigger policies targeting and impacting local communities worldwide. However, research and policy implementation often fail to sufficiently consider community responses and to involve them. We present the results of a collective self-assessment exercise for eight case studies of communications with regard to climate change or biodiversity loss between project teams and local communities.

Multimodality Imaging Assessment of Ischemic-Related Submitral Left Ventricular Pouch: A Case Report.

Submitral left ventricular aneurysm remains a rare condition with a varied etiology besides the congenital origin. We describe the case of a 62-year-old male patient who presented, two weeks after an inferobasal myocardial infarction (MI), with dyspnea and atypical chest pain. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) revealed a giant thin-walled submitral left ventricular aneurysm.

Sustained ventricular arrhythmia and sinus node dysfunction revealing a cardiac amyloidosis: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Amyloidosis is an infiltrative multisystem disease due to extracellular deposition of fibrils in tissues and organs. Cardiac involvement can result in progressive heart failure, conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias and is associated with a poor prognosis. Atrial arrhythmias and non-sustained ventricular arrhythmias are the most common arrhythmias in cardiac amyloidosis.

Epidemiology of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events in patients with atrial fibrillation under anti-vitamin K.

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder in the general population. It is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Given this risk, anticoagulant therapy is vital.
