A paper in Nature Climate Change, co-authored by an IIIEE researcher, alumna and student, shows that pledges to phase out coal are so far largely limited to older plants in richer countries. Reaching climate targets requires phasing out coal power without carbon capture and storage, as pledged by the members of Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA). Prof. Aleh Cherp and his co-authors show that these

Major advances in cardiovascular medicine have been driven by innovations in basic research in biological and technical sciences. The subsequent testing in prospective randomized controlled trials (RCT) has provided the evidence underpinning the introduction of new, more effective, and safer treatments.

As of 2019, Germany has still not been able to provide a national poisoning register and toxicovigilance for sufficient and reliable information on human exposure for the purpose of identification and assessment of toxic risk to the public. In particular, the USA acts as a special model, but France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden also have efficient poisoning registers and toxicovigilanc

More than 70% of patients with breast cancer present with node-negative disease, yet all undergo surgical axillary staging. We aimed to define predictors of nodal metastasis using clinicopathological characteristics (CLINICAL), gene expression data (GEX), and mixed features (MIXED) and to identify patients at low risk of metastasis who might be spared sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

A major challenge in clinical research today is the difficulty that studies have in meeting recruitment goals. Up to 48% of studies do not meet accrual goals within the specified timeframe, significantly delaying the progress of projects and the dissemination of findings. This pervasive problem is a recruitment crisis. We developed a representative, ethnically and racially diverse research partici

Vascunet has previously published an international comparison of registry data within vascular surgery. Data validity and completeness in participating registries is essential for a meaningful interpretation of differences between countries. The Vascunet collaboration has therefore developed a methodology for validation of international vascular registry data, previously used for validation of two
