Abstract Simulations of the DD neutron rates predicted by ASCOT and TRANSP Monte Carlo heating codes for a diverse set JET-C (JET with carbon plasma facing components) plasmas are compared. A previous study (Weisen et al 2017 Nucl. Fusion 57 076029) this data using found that systematically exceeded measured ones factors ranging between 1 2. No single explanation discrepancies was at time despi...

Background: Mortality predictions calculated using scoring scales are often not accurate in populations other than those in which the scales were developed because of differences in case-mix. Scoring systems should be validated to be used in a different population. Methods: Probabilities of ICU death for critically ill trauma patients were calculated using the anatomic scores: Injury severity s...

BACKGROUND Results of the Anglo-Scandinavian cardiac outcomes trial-blood pressure lowering arm (ASCOT-BPLA) showed significantly lower rates of coronary and stroke events in individuals allocated an amlodipine-perindopril combination drug regimen than in those allocated an atenolol-thiazide combination drug regimen. The aims of the ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) substudy of ASCOT were to exam...

Lower within-individual visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure readings in the amlodipine/perindopril combination treatment arm of the ASCOT study has been shown to account for the more effective stroke reduction rate with this combination compared to atenolol and diuretic-based therapies, despite overall similar blood pressure lowering.

BACKGROUND Statins reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people with hypertension. This benefit could arise from a beneficial effect of statins on central aortic pressures and hemodynamics. The Conduit Artery Function Evaluation-Lipid-Lowering Arm (CAFE-LLA) study, an Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) substudy, investigated this hypothesis in a prospective placebo-controll...
