Impact of miscuffing during home blood pressure measurement on the prevalence of masked hypertension by Mourad, Jean-Jacques

“…METHODS Fifty-three patients with an upper-arm circumference >33cm, undergoing treatment for mild-to-moderate hypertension, took 2 sets of home blood pressure (BP) measurements (standard vs. large cuff) using the validated Microlife BP A100 Plus automated device. RESULTS Mean BP was 143/85mm Hg at the office using a large cuff, 141/84mm Hg at home using a standard cuff, and 134/80mm Hg at home using a large cuff. …”

On the evolution of sub- and super-saturated water uptake of secondary organic aerosol in chamber experiments from mixed precursors by Yu Wang (12152)

“…The sub- and super-saturated water uptake (in terms of both κHTDMA and κCCN) were mainly controlled by the SOA mass fraction, which depended on the SOA production rate of the precursors, and the SOA composition played a second-order role. For the reconciliation of κHTDMA and κCCN, the κHTDMA/κCCN ratio increased with the SOA mass fraction and this was observed in all investigated single and mixed VOC systems, independent of initial VOC concentrations and sources. …”

Removal of bacterial contaminants and antibiotic resistance genes by conventional wastewater treatment processes in Saudi Arabia: Is the treated wastewater safe to reuse for agricu... by Al-Jassim, Nada

“…Quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) determined that only chlorinated effluent should be permitted for use in agricultural irrigation as it achieved an acceptable annual microbial risk lower than 10−4 arising from both P. aeruginosa and A. hydrophila. However, the proportion of bacterial isolates resistant to 6 types of antibiotics increased from 3.8% in the influent to 6.9% in the chlorinated effluent. …”

Liver resection for liver metastases from nondigestive endocrine cancer by Andreou, Andreas

“…Liver resection is currently the treatment of choice for patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer; 5-year survival rates as high as 58% have been reported with this approach and establish surgery as a curative option in patients with this form of advanced malignant colorectal disease.1 and 2 Patients with liver metastases from neuroendocrine cancer also benefit from liver resection with 5-year survival rates of up to 74% and reduction of disease-specific symptoms justifying liver resection in this patient cohort.3, 4, 5 and 6 In contrast, the benefit of liver resection for patients with liver metastases from nondigestive endocrine cancer (hepatic nondigestive endocrine metastases [HNEM]) is controversial as most of these patients present with coexistent extrahepatic metastases.7, 8 and 9 Previously published data on outcomes after resection of HNEM suggest that surgery may improve survival in selected patients. …”
