Assessment of right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery coupling by three-dimensional echocardiography in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension: comparison with tricuspid annular plane sy... by Guangjie Lv, Aili Li, Yanan Zhai, Lei Li, Mei Deng, Jieping Lei, Xincao Tao, Qian Gao, Wanmu Xie, Zhenguo Zhai

“…Abstract Background The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/systolic pulmonary artery pressure ratio (TAPSE/sPAP) has limitations in evaluating right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling, particularly when pulmonary artery pressure cannot be accurately estimated by tricuspid regurgitation or when TAPSE cannot accurately reflect right ventricular systolic function in certain scenarios. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the value of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) coupling parameters in assessing RV-PA coupling in patients with pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). …”

ON POTENTIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE DISTRIBUTION LAW OF RARE STRONGEST EARTHQUAKES by M. V. Rodkin, V. F. Pisarenko, Ngo Thi Lu, T. A. Rukavishnikova

“…Assessment of long-term seismic hazard is critically dependent on the behavior of tail of the distribution function of rare strongest earthquakes. Analyses of empirical data cannot however yield the credible solution of this problem because the instrumental catalogs of earthquake are available only for a rather short time intervals, and the uncertainty in estimations of magnitude of paleoearthquakes is high. …”

Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the energy transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…We have clarified the meaning of the term ‘innovability’©®, formerly in use in the economic and social sciences, which is attributed to a renewed driving force for a new paradigm of development that expresses one of the most crucial challenges of our time and the need for a ‘solidary’ convergence between the two inescapable instances of ‘innovation’ and ‘sustainability’, as if they were opposites and contrasts: beyond the term used, in a historical moment characterised by environmental, social and economic emergencies, Humanity promotes one of its prerogatives, the use of the ‘things’ that nature makes available to us to do something other than their primary function (innovation), aware that those resources are not inexhaustible (sustainability). …”

Immunoexpression of tumor suppressor genes p53, p21WAF1/CIP1 and p27KIP1 in humam astrocystic tumors Imuno-expressão dos genes supressores tumorais p53, p21WAF1/CIP1 e p27KIP1 em t... by Mário Henrique Girão Faria, Régia Maria do Socorro Vidal do Patrocínio, Manoel Odorico de Moraes Filho, Silvia Helena Barem Rabenhorst

“…These results indicated the p53 mutation as an initial, relevant and potentially predictor of tumor progression event in astrocytomas, with the detection of p21 protein as an important resource for the deduction of functional situation of this gene. Moreover, the activation of p27KIP1 was preserved in the astrocytic tumors and its cytoplasmic manifestation seems to be resultant of its nuclear expression, not demonstrating a direct impact in astrocytomas tumorigenesis.…”

Three-compartment, two-parameter concentration-driven model for uptake of excess atmospheric CO₂ by the global ocean by S. E. Schwartz

“…Although the concentration-driven model developed here cannot be used prognostically (to assess model skill in replicating atmospheric CO<span class="inline-formula">₂</span> over the industrial period or to examine response to changes in emissions), the model is useful diagnostically to examine the disposition of excess carbon into pertinent global compartments as a function of time over the Anthropocene.
