BackgroundA novel non-invasive method for generation of pressure volume loops (PV-loops) using brachial blood pressure and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has recently been presented and validated (1). The non-invasive nature of this method enables calculation of PV-loops in large patient cohorts previously not feasible due to the need of invasive measurements.PurposeThe purpose of

Aim: Grass-yellow butterflies (Eurema) are a group of pantropical Pieridae distributed throughout Asia, Australasia, Africa and the New World. However, little is known about their diversification, including the biogeographic mechanism(s) explaining their circumglobal distribution. We present the first densely sampled, time-calibrated phylogeny and biogeographic reconstruction of grass-yellows to c

Group exhibition.'The horizon is always receding' brings together a selection of works that reflect on the scope and the implications that the term contemporary may have. As the philosopher Giorgio Agamben suggests, contemporaneity can be understood as a term that surpasses temporal demarcations and transcends simultaneity and coexistence. In this sense, this exhibition serves as a symptomatic dis

The response of a NE-213 liquid-scintillator detector has been measured using tagged neutrons from 2 to 6 MeV originating from an Am/Be neutron source. The neutron energies were determined using the time-of-flight technique. Pulse-shape discrimination was employed to discern between gamma-rays and neutrons. The behavior of both the fast (35 ns) and the combined fast and slow (475 ns) components of

The Pd-II atom in the title compound, [Pd(C2F3O2)(C24H43P2)], adopts a distorted square-planar geometry with the P atoms in a trans arrangement, forming two five-membered chelate rings. Four intramolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds occur. The crystal packing reveals one weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond, which self-assembles the mo

The first meeting of international specialists in the field of von Willebrand disease (VWD) was held in the Åland islands in 1998 where Erik von Willebrand had first observed a bleeding disorder in some members of a family from Föglö and a summary of the meeting was published in 1999. The second meeting was held in 2010 and a report of the meeting was published in 2012. Topics covered included pro

Twenty-six patients were operated because of osteo-arthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint. After excision of the trapezium, they were randomized to receive either a Swanson silicone trapezium implant or a tendon interposition arthroplasty using a strip of the abductor pollicis longus tendon (APL). No infection or clinical silicone synovitis occurred and no major radiographic cyst formation was

The interdisciplinary cooperation project »Summer of the Arts« showed works by the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 recipients of the Villa Massimo’s German Rome Prize in eight institutions in Stuttgart. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart presented the art created by Yael Bartana, Manaf Halbouni, and Bjørn Melhus during their stays in Rome in dialogue with works from the Staatsgalerie collection.

The natural radiative lifetimes of some excited Bi I levels belonging to the 6 p 2 7 s and the 6 p 2 6 d configurations have been determined by analyzing Hanle depolarization curves obtained in an atomic beam experiment on the 100% abundant isotope Bi 209 ( I =9/2). Taking the exciting light spectral distribution into account the following values for the lifetimes have been obtained: ##IMG## [http
