Climate and air pollution impacts on habitat suitability of Austrian forest ecosystems by Thomas Dirnböck (4430077)

“…In future, climate-driven shifts (and losses) in the species potential distribution, but also N driven nutrient enrichment may threaten these habitats.

Clinical and Economic Outcomes of the Minimalist Approach for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement by Marcus R. Burns (6179597)

“…In comparison to control patients, those who had TAVR with MP had shorter median hospital length-of-stay (LOS) (2.0 days [1.6, 2.7] vs. 3.0 days [2.0, 5.1]; <i>p</i> < 0.001). Implementation of MP was associated with a significant decrease in total variable costs of 17.9%, an increase in patients with a positive contribution margin (from 30% in 2015 to 65% in 2017), and cumulative cost savings of $3.6 million over 2 years.…”
