Benthic diel oxygen variability and stress as potential drivers for animal diversification in the Neoproterozoic-Palaeozoic by Emma U. Hammarlund, Anuraag Bukkuri, Magnus D. Norling, Mazharul Islam, Nicole R. Posth, Etienne Baratchart, Christopher Carroll, Sarah R. Amend, Robert A. Gatenby, Kenneth J. Pienta, Joel S. Brown, Shanan E. Peters, Kasper Hancke

“…Under these conditions, a population-and-phenotype model further show that the benefits of efficient cellular oxygen sensing that can offer adaptations to stress outweigh its cost. Since diurnal benthic redox variability would have expanded as continents were flooded in the end-Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic, we propose that a combination of physiological stress and ample resources in the benthic environment may have impacted the adaptive radiation of animals tolerant to oxygen fluctuations.…”

Choice Between Free Combination of Antihypertensive Agents and Fixed Dosed Combinations in the Treatment of Arterial Hypertension by O. S. Levchenkova, R. R. Galimulina, B. R. Komev, K. D. Zagnet

“…Analysis of elibrary and PubMed publications in the period mostly from 2014 to 2024 concerning the choice of two-component combined antihypertensive agents containing renin-angiotensin system inhibitor and diuretic or calcium channel blocker, revealed that fixed-dose combinations (FDC) use and taking one tablet once a day improves adherence to treatment and facilitates blood pressure control. Although the cost of FDC containing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor and a thiazide/thiazide-like diuretic or calcium channel blocker is in most cases higher than the same drugs taken separately, the use of fixed combinations, increasing patient adherence to therapy, has clinical advantage in terms of the effectiveness of lowering blood pressure, which confirms their economic feasibility. …”
