Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an increasingly recognized condition burdened by significant acute and long-term adverse events.The availability of novel techniques expanded the knowledge on TTS and allowed a more accurate risk-stratification, potentially guiding clinical management.The present review aims to summarize the recent advances in TTS progno
PiRNA Obtained through Liquid Biopsy as a Possible Cancer Biomarker
In recent years PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have gained the interest of scientists, mainly because of their possible implications in cancer.Many kinds of research showed how their expression can be linked to malignant diseases.However, most of them evaluated the expression of piRNAs in tumor tissues.It was shown how these non-coding RNAs can int
Crop proximity index for monitoring of peri-urban land use in agro-industrial crop regions
The agro-industrial production of genetically modified organisms uses great amounts of pesticides, close to cities, which generates growing concern due to the numerous evidence of their negative effects on health and the environment.In a context of the lack, or inaccessibility, of official data on crop dynamics and pesticide use, environmental indi
Development and Control of an Innovative Underwater Vehicle Manipulator System
Recently, as humans have become increasingly interested in ocean resources, underwater vehicle-manipulator systems (UVMSs) have played an increasingly important role in ocean exploitation.To realize precise operation in underwater narrow spaces, the fly arm underwater vehicle manipulator system (FAUVMS) is proposed with manipulators as its core.How
Factors in Overcoming Barriers to Implementing Co-management in British Columbia Salmon Fisheries
Ten years of research and efforts to implement co-management in British Columbia fisheries have demonstrated that we lack neither good models nor the political will in communities to design and Nail Trimmers test local and regional institutions for successful involvement in various aspects of management.The barriers lie rather in the distrust and r
