Dense stands of a woody, successional species, Prunus pensylvanica L., develop rapidly, with early closure of canopy and rapid attainment of high values of net annual production and nutrient accumulation. Such rapid growth following disturbance tends to minimize losses of nutrients from the ecosystem, thus promoting a return to steady-state cycling characteristic of a mature forest.

Therapeutic drug monitoring versus Bayesian AUC-based dosing for vancomycin in routine practice: a cost-benefit analysis.
J Antimicrob Chemother
January 2025
Pharmacy Department, Ghent University Hospital, Corneel Heymanslaan 10, 9000 Ghent, Belgium.
Background: AUC-based dosing with validated Bayesian software is recommended as a good approach to guide bedside vancomycin dosing.
Objectives: To compare treatment and vancomycin-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) costs between Bayesian AUC-based dosing and conventional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) using steady-state plasma concentrations of vancomycin administered as continuous infusion in hospitalized non-critically ill patients with severe Gram-positive infection.
Methods: A cost-benefit analysis presented as a return on investment (ROI) analysis from a hospital perspective was conducted using a decision tree model (TDM versus AUC-based dosing) to simulate treatment cost (personnel, serum sampling and drug cost), vancomycin-associated AKI risk and cost up to 14 days.
Systemic Circulation in Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock: State-of-the-Art Review.
Circ Heart Fail

The CardioVascular Center, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA (S.L.H., K.D.E., G.G., N.K.K.).
The integrative physiology of the left ventricle and systemic circulation is fundamental to our understanding of advanced heart failure and cardiogenic shock. In simplest terms, any increase in aortic stiffness increases the vascular afterload presented to the failing left ventricle. The net effect is increased myocardial oxygen demand and reduced coronary perfusion pressure, thereby further deteriorating contractile function.

Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science, Duke University, United States.
Objective: We sought to measure the deformation of tibiofemoral cartilage immediately following a 3-mile treadmill run, as well as the recovery of cartilage thickness the following day. To enable these measurements, we developed and validated deep learning models to automate tibiofemoral cartilage and bone segmentation from double-echo steady-state magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

The current study assesses several water-based PVT system thermal absorber configurations. The thermal absorber in PVT system plays a vital role in efficiency evaluation as it lowers PV temperature and collects heat energy. The current study aims to discover and analyze advanced thermal absorber design by comparing well-received spiral circular absorbers and non-cooled PV with proposed semi-circular thermal absorbers with varying flow configurations.
