Head-up tilt test (TT) has been used for >50 years to study heart rate/blood pressure adaptation to positional changes, to model responses to haemorrhage, to assess orthostatic hypotension, and to evaluate haemodynamic and neuroendocrine responses in congestive heart failure, autonomic dysfunction, and hypertension. During these studies, some subjects experienced syncope due to vasovagal reflex. A
BACKGROUND: Heart rate control in atrial fibrillation (AF) is typically assessed by 24-hour electrocardiography (ECG). There are scarce data on the use of 24-hour ECG parameters to predict mortality in AF.AIMS: We aimed to identify 24-hour ECG parameters that predict mortality in AF.METHODS: We enrolled 280 ambulatory patients (mean [SD] age, 72.0 [8.7] years; 57.9% men) with permanent or persiste
Identification of risk factors for fractures is important for improving public health. We aimed to identify which factors related to physical activity and psychosocial situation were associated with incident fractures among 30,446 middle-aged women and men, followed from 1991-1996 to 2016, in a prospective population-based cohort study. The association between the baseline variables and first inci
Post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients are at very high cardiovascular risk. Despite current guidelines strongly recommend to reduce LDL-C levels and initiation of high-intensity statins as early as possible in patients admitted with an ACS, less than half of ACS patients receive a high intensity statin, and a high percentage of has LDL-C well above the goal despite therapy. There are multipl
The paper presents a systematic examination of data from two early math interventions, involving 188 children aged 3,5-6,5 and their teachers. The aim is to cast light on how a digital early math game can be spontaneously extended into the physical environment by children and by teachers. Questions were: i) how the math content was extended to the physical room, ii) which elements of the game and
Background: Hip and groin problems are common in ice hockey but studies on professional female players are sparse. The available literature describes hip and groin problems by reporting incidence of time-loss injuries and may thereby underestimate the scope of these problems, which are often due to overuse and may not lead to absence from ice hockey participation.Purpose: The purpose of this study
Purpose: Personalized therapies are leading to an increasing number of marketing authorizations based on single-arm trials, which increases the demand for better post-authorization monitoring strategies. The aim of the present study was to estimate the power over time as data accrue in population-based registries for detecting deviations from the expected efficacy/safety of chimeric antigen recept
Introduction: We aimed to establish a standardized, routine-use pre-analytical protocol for measuring Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: The effect of pre-analytical factors (sample collection/handling/storage/transportation) on biomarker levels was assessed using freshly collected CSF. Tube type/sterilization was assessed using previously frozen samples. A
Aim: To test whether diabetes genetic risk modifies the association of successful lifestyle changes with incident diabetes. Materials and methods: We studied 823 individuals randomized to the intensive lifestyle intervention (ILS) arm of the Diabetes Prevention Programme who were diabetes-free 1 year after enrolment. We tested additive and multiplicative interactions of a 67-variant diabetes genet
At the 100 years anniversary in 2020 of the Reunion around 650 memorials have been protected. The memorials are to be found all over Denmark, where they constitute the largest group. The time of their erection, the localization, design, inscriptions, pictures and initiators are relatively well known. The article investigates two main questions. Firstly, why have so many memorials for the Reunion bAt the 100 years anniversary in 2020 of the Reunion around 650 memorials have been protected.

Parallelism is here to stay. Unfortunately, today’s mainstream programming languages (such as Java) are not designed for easy parallelisation. We thus propose to extend Java with primitives for parallel queries, using a radically redesigned Java runtime system.
