Characteristics of serum lipid levels in patients with hypertension: a hospital-based retrospective descriptive study by Heming Wu, Zhikang Yu, Qingyan Huang

“…Background Dyslipidaemia is different among patients with hypertension in different populations. The serum lipid profiles among Hakka patients with hypertension in southern China are still unclear.Methods 35 448 patients with hypertension were enrolled in this study from January 2016 to October 2020, and their serum lipids were analysed.Results Low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (29.9%) accounted for the highest proportion in dyslipidaemia, followed by high triglyceride (TG) (20.7%), high total cholesterol (TC) (14.0%) and high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) (7.9%) in all subjects. …”

Environment of European Last Mammoths: Reconstructing the Landcover of the Eastern Baltic Area at the Pleistocene/Holocene Transition by Ivan Krivokorin, Anneli Poska, Jüri Vassiljev, Siim Veski, Leeli Amon

“…Due to climate warming during the initial stages of the Holocene interglacial, the Eastern Baltic became speedily populated by birch and pine forests. The abrupt disappearance of typical forb-dominated tundra indicators, such as <i>Dryas octopetala</i>, and the fast increase in tree birch marked a shift from an open, tundra-like landscape to a forested one, making the environment inhospitable for mammoths even in northernmost Estonia by the beginning of the Holocene. …”

Estimation of minimum foot clearance using a single foot-mounted inertial sensor and personalized foot geometry scan by Katherine Heidi Fehr, Jennifer Nicole Bartloff, Yisen Wang, Scott Hetzel, Peter G. Adamczyk

“…Abstract The real-world measurement of minimum foot clearance (mFC) during the swing phase of gait is critical in efforts to understand and reduce the risk of trip-and-fall incidents in populations with gait impairments. Past research has focused on measuring clearance of a single point on a person’s foot, typically the toe—however, this may overestimate mFC and may even be the wrong region of the foot in cases of gait impairments or interventions. …”
