OBJECTIVE To determine whether the walking speed maintained during a 1 km treadmill test at moderate intensity predicts survival in patients with cardiovascular disease. DESIGN Population-based prospective study. SETTING Outpatient secondary prevention programme in Ferrara, Italy. PARTICIPANTS 1255 male stable cardiac patients, aged 25-85 years at baseline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Walking...

We report the hard X–ray spectrum of the Coma cluster obtained using the PDS data of two independent BeppoSAX observations performed with a time interval of about three years. In both the spectra a non thermal excess with respect to the thermal emission is present at a confidence level of ∼ 3.4σ. The combined spectrum obtained by adding up the two spectra allows a measurement of the excess at t...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this investigation was to identify the onset of the thermic effect of feeding (TEF) after ingestion of a high carbohydrate (CHO) and a high protein (PRO) 1255 kJ (300 kcal) drink. METHODS Resting metabolic rate (RMR) and TEF were measured over 30-minute periods via indirect calorimetry using a ventilated hood technique. Eighteen subjects (7 men and 11 women) complete...

The aim of this study is twofold: to determine whether (and how) gender stereotypes have changed over time through a comparison of two different sets of data collected in 1993 (N=1255) and 2001 (N=1255) from a representative sample of the Spanish population, and to examine the relation between gender traits and roles and its stability over time. In addition, special attention is paid to the psy...

In 1255, 1344, and 1408 AD, then again in 1833, 1934, and 2015, large earthquakes, devastated Kathmandu. The 1255 and 1934 surface ruptures have been identified east of the city, along comparable segments of the Main Frontal Thrust (MFT). Whether the other two pairs of events were similar is unclear. Taking into account charcoal’s age inheritance, we revisit the timing of terrace offsets at key...

BACKGROUND AND METHODS The NPHS1gene was analysed in different five Japanese patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) from the patients in a previous report (Sako M, Nakanishi K, Obana M et al. Analysis of NPHS1, NPHS2, ACTN4, and WT1 in Japanese patients with congenital nephrotic syndrome. Kidney Int 2005; 67: 1248-1255) that suggested that the mutation of NPHS1 was not a major cause ...

Autophagy contributes to sebaceous gland function and the control of sebum composition. Based on literature data, autophagy markers were strongly expressed in maturing cells healthy skin, whereas downregulated acne-involved glands. Interestingly, tissue transglutaminase (TG2) which is known regulate mouse embryonic fibroblast has a potential role also integrity epidermis exerts an abundant expr...
