Microalbuminuria and sRAGE in High-Risk Hypertensive Patients Treated with Nifedipine/Telmisartan Combination Treatment: A Substudy of TALENT by Colomba Falcone, Maria Paola Buzzi, Sara Bozzini, Chiara Boiocchi, Angela D'Angelo, Sandra Schirinzi, Ciro Esposito, Massimo Torreggiani, Jasmine Choi, Michael Ochan Kilama, Giuseppe Mancia

“…Some antihypertensive drugs have also renoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties that go beyond their effect on blood pressure. It has been suggested that microalbuminuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are associated with circulating levels of the soluble form of the receptor, sRAGE (soluble receptor for advanced glycation ends-products). …”

Novel SPH and MPS Laplacian Models Improved by MLS Method for Solving Poisson equations by Gholamreza Shobeyri

“…In this paper, the models were reformulated and further improved by replacing the weight functions with well-known moving least squares (MLS) shape functions without requiring dummy calculation nodes beyond boundaries. The proposed Laplacian models in this study could achieve very accurate results compared with the existing models [1, 2] for the solution of four different two-dimensional Poisson equations on irregular node distributions.…”

Relative entropy formulation of thermalization process in a Schwarzschild spacetime by Si-Wei Han, Zhichun Ouyang, Zhiyao Hu, Jun Feng

“…We derive the late-time dynamics of the detector in the context of open quantum system, and capture the path distinguishability and thermodynamic irreversibility of detector thermalization process by using quantum relative entropy (QRE). We find that beyond the Planckian transition rate, the refined thermalization process in detector Hilbert space can be distinguished by the time behavior of the related QRE. …”

Expanding the role of community hospitals to promote population health in Singapore by Ken Wah Teo, Lian Leng Low, Wee Hoe Gan, Luke Sher Guan Low, Chien Earn Lee

“…Under this initiative, Singapore’s three healthcare clusters have been tasked with new roles as population health managers and regional health managers, on top of being healthcare service providers. We propose that beyond intermediate and post-acute care, community hospitals, as service providers, have an opportunity to (a) innovate new models of integrated and appropriate care, (b) adopt life-course approaches which include prevention and end-of-life care extended to community settings, (c) strengthen person-centred and holistic care approaches through social prescribing, (d) lead capability building and sector development for person-centred care, and (e) galvanize the health-social care ecosystem.…”
