This study compares the US National Water Model (NWM) reanalysis snow outputs to observed water equivalent (SWE) and snow-covered area fraction (SCAF) at telemetry (SNOTEL) sites across Western United States. SWE was obtained from SNOTEL sites, while SCAF moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations a nominal 500 m grid scale. Retrospective NWM results were 1000 We compare...

Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 converts sugars and various polysaccharides into acids and solvents. This bacterium, however, is unable to utilize cellulosic substrates, since it is able to secrete very small amounts of cellulosomes. To promote the utilization of crystalline cellulose, the strategy we chose aims at producing heterologous minicellulosomes, containing two different cellulases...

BACKGROUND The influences of creatine and caffeine supplementation associated with power exercise on lean body mass (LBM) composition are not clear. The purpose of this research was to determine whether supplementation with high doses of creatine and caffeine, either solely or combined, affects the LBM composition of rats submitted to vertical jumping training. METHODS Male Wistar rats were r...

AIMS Whether paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PxAF) affects survival is poorly recognized. Results have been conflicting in the few previously published studies. To describe mortality in patients with PxAF and to identify risk factors amenable to treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients (n=2824) treated for atrial fibrillation during 2002 at one of Scandinavia's largest hospitals were follo...

The article by Halcox et al 1 describes the REHEARSE-AF study (Assessment of Remote Heart Rhythm Sampling Using the AliveCor Heart Monitor to Screen for Atrial Fibrillation), a randomized trial of screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) with a smartphone-based single-lead electrocardiographic capture system in 1001 patients ≥65 years of age with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥ 2 and without a history ...

Visceral fat is considered a key factor in the development of metabolic syndrome and other pathological conditions and diseases associated with obesity. Therefore, analysis of the dynamics of reducing the amount of abdominal visceral fat is important for evaluating the therapeutic effects of different modalities of obesity treatment, including bariatric surgery. In 53 obese patients visceral an...
