Fixing a heart valve by Nature Research (16552612)

“…And yet, surgeons are often unwilling to repair the mitral valve, because the procedure is more challenging than valve replacement. As Antune points out, however, the proportion of repaired valves that need to be replaced later on decreases with surgeons' increasing experience of the procedure. …”

HOW STRONG IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RAINFALL VARIABILITY AND CAATINGA PRODUCTIVITY? A CASE STUDY UNDER A CHANGING CLIMATE by CLEBER SALIMON (5671607)

“…In an extreme dry year (2012), with 65% less rainfall than average for the period 2001-2012, the vegetation index decreased by 25%. If such decrease persists in a long term trend in rainfall reduction, this could lead to a disruption in this ecosystem functioning and the dominant vegetation could become even more xeric or desert-like, bringing serious environmental, social and economical impacts.…”
