Acute Coronary Syndrome: An Unusual Consequence of GERD by Chui Man Carmen Hui, Santosh K. Padala, Michael Lavelle, Mikhail T. Torosoff, Xinjun Cindy Zhu, Mandeep S. Sidhu

“…While at the hospital, the patient experienced a similar episode of nocturnal dyspnea, prompting a barium esophagram, which was suggestive of a stricture in the distal esophagus from long-standing GERD. We hypothesized that he had myocardial ischemia due to increased oxygen demand from uncontrolled GERD symptoms. …”

Enhancing HEVC Efficiency: A Novel Approach to Intra-Mode Estimation Through Hadamard Cost Analysis by Junaid Tariq, Imran Javed, Touseef Sadiq, Hameedur Rahman, Ashfaq Hussain Farooqi, Amir Ijaz

“…Here we show how by employing a refined approach to the rate distortion optimization (RDO) module, we achieve a 5.8% reduction in HEVC complexity and a minor yet notable −0.02% improvement in Bjontegaard Delta Bit Rate (BD-BR). Our method stands out by not only reducing computational load but also by improving bit-rate, a rare feat in the literature. …”

A Technique for Observing the Behaviour of Small Animals Under Field Conditions by Michael H. Robinson, Nicholas D. E. Smythe

“…Recently, however, one of us (M.H.R.) studied the behaviour of Drosophila-sized flies that associate with orb-web spiders and spend long periods standing on the spider’s body. To find out what the flies were doing there it was essential to see them in close-up and be able to watch them, for long periods, under field conditions. …”

Physical Activity and Telomere Biology: Exploring the Link with Aging-Related Disease Prevention by Andrew T. Ludlow, Stephen M. Roth

“…Though these associations are well established, evidence of the molecular and cellular factors associated with reduced disease risk and increased longevity resulting from physical activity is sparse. A long-standing hypothesis of aging is the telomere hypothesis: as a cell divides, telomeres shorten resulting eventually in replicative senescence and an aged phenotype. …”
