Current Treatment of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Should We Add Life to the Remaining Years or Add Years to the Remaining Life? by Jia Li, Peter Moritz Becher, Stefan Blankenberg, Dirk Westermann

“…In recent years, accumulating studies showed that increased mortality and morbidity rates of these two groups are nearly equal. More importantly, despite decline in mortality after treatment in regard to current guideline in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, there are still no trials resulting in improved outcome in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction so far. …”

Acetylated distarch adipate quinoa starch in tomato ketchup: Modification process and functional charactristics by Seyed Mehdi Zakeri, Mazdak Alimi, Shirin Shokoohi, Seyed-Ahmad Shahidi

“…In ketchups prepared with the selected modified starch apparent viscosity, color, textural parameters (i.e. firmness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness) remarkably improved as the sample containing 100% modified quinoa starch appeared most ''shear-thining'' while its physical stability was equal to the commercial modified starch. Sensory characteristics (including color, viscosity, texture and overall acceptability) were significantly different with the commercial sample whereas taste and odor indexes were not.…”

The 2023 Mw 7.8–7.7 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes were loosely slip-predictable by Ellis Vavra, Yuri Fialko, Fatih Bulut, Aslı Garagon, Sefa Yalvaç, Cenk Yaltırak

“…We find that the coseismic slip equaled to or exceeded the accumulated slip deficit, suggesting that the slip-predictable recurrence model applies as a lower bound on strain release during the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes.…”

Validation of an UHPLC-MS/MS Method for Screening of Antimicrobial Residues in Eggs and Their Application to Analyses of Eggs from Laying Hens Subjected to Pharmacological Treatmen... by Letícia Gomes Magnago Caldeira, Flávio Alves Santos, Andréa Melo Garcia de Oliveira, Josefa Abucater Lima, Leonardo Francisco de Souza, Guilherme Resende da Silva, Débora Cristina Sampaio de Assis, Silvana de Vasconcelos Cançado

“…The method was adequate for screening all studied analytes in eggs, since the performance parameters ensured a false-compliant rate below or equal to 5%, except for flumequine. In the analyses of eggs from laying hens subjected to pharmacological treatment, all antimicrobial residues were detected throughout the experimental period, even after discontinuation of medication, except for neomycin, demonstrating the applicability of the method for analyses of antimicrobial residues in eggs.…”

Matching of Silicon Thin-Film Tandem Solar Cells for Maximum Power Output by C. Ulbrich, C. Zahren, A. Gerber, B. Blank, T. Merdzhanova, A. Gordijn, U. Rau

“…We apply the matching condition to the maximum power output; that is, a stack of solar cells is power matched if the power output of each subcell is maximal at equal subcell currents. The new measurement procedure uses additional light-emitting diodes as bias light in the JV characterization of tandem solar cells. …”
