The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of angina pectoris threshold heart rate (ATHR) in 300 patients aged 27-65 years, suffering from typical angina pectoris and being under follow-up at our institute for at least 5 years. A multistage symptom-limited ergometric test was performed in all examinees at least twice. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of all those whose ATHR was 120 beats and above; group 2 with ATHR below 120 beats/min. The mean age of group 1 was 47 +/- 5.8 years; the mean age of group 2 was 51 +/- 5.9 years. In group 1, in 47.3% the ATHR remained unchanged within the 5-year follow-up. Of the remaining 52.7% with changes (representing 100% with changes) 19.4% died from a cardiac cause within the period of follow-up. In group 2, 56.1% remained without ATHR changes within follow-up. In 43.9% with changes (representing 100% with changes), 48% died of a cardiac cause. Similar findings were obtained when the symptom-limited work load was taken into consideration. In group 1, which performed less than 50 W, 44.6% did not reveal any change during follow-up. In 55.4% (representing 100% with changes) 47.8% died of a cardiac cause. In group 2, patients who performed between 50 to 100 W, 52.5% were without changes. In 47.5% (representing 100% with changes) 21% died of a cardiac cause. In group 3, patients performed more than 100 W, 54.3% were without changes, while in 45.7% (representing 100% with changes) 19.2% died of a cardiac cause. Our findings clearly indicate the significance of the ATHR as a prognostic sign.

A novel bacterium, designated 19SA41, was isolated from the air of the Icelandic volcanic island Surtsey. Cells of strain 19SA41 are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile rods and form pale yellow-pigmented colonies. The strain grows at 4-30 °C (optimum, 22 °C), at pH 6-10 (optimum, pH 7.

Perrault syndrome (PS) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition characterized primarily by bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in both genders and primary or secondary ovarian failure in females. Neurological features such as cerebral ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, epilepsy, and intellectual disability are frequent manifestations of PS. To date, six genes have been reported to cause PS, and nearly 100 families have been identified worldwide with this syndrome.

Miniaturization of next-generation active neural implants requires novel micro-packaging solutions that can maintain their long-term coating performance in the body. This work presents two thin-film coatings and evaluates their biostability and in vivo performance over a 7-month animal study. To evaluate the coatings on representative surfaces, two silicon microchips with different surface microtopography are used.

This work involves the preparation of dual surrogate-imprinted polymers (D-MIPs) for the capture of SARS-CoV-2. To achieve this goal, an innovative and novel dual imprinting approach using carboxylated-polystyrene (PS-COOH) nanoparticles with a diameter of 100 nm and a SARS-CoV-2 Spike-derived peptide was carried out at the surface of amine-functionalized silica (PS-NH) microspheres with a diameter of 500 nm. Firstly, PS-COOH nanoparticles with the same size and spherical shape as the SARS-CoV-2 virus were employed to form hemispherical indentations (HI) at the surface of the PS-NH microspheres (obtaining dummy particle-imprinted polymers, HI-MIPs).

Unlabelled: The genus includes seventeen viral species able to cause rabies, an acute and almost invariably fatal encephalomyelitis of mammals. Rabies virus (RABV), which represents the type species of the genus, is a multi-host pathogen that over the years has undergone multiple events of host-switching, thus occupying several geographical and ecological niches. In contrast, non-RABV lyssaviruses are mainly confined within a single natural host with rare spillover events.
