Unraveling drivers and patterns of species richness in coastal marine ecosystem under global warming: Insights from ecosystem connectivity by Xiangyan Yang, Jia Wo, Toniann Keiling, Yong Chen

“…Regime shift and correlation analyses suggest that environmental pressures are the primary stressors driving changes in HRE-NYB fish and macroinvertebrate richness, rather than fishing pressure. Using center of gravity and species-level dynamics analysis, we identified different temporal and spatial responses to warming temperature across estuary and marine habitats and between lower and higher trophic levels. …”

Impact of COPD and asthma on in-hospital mortality and management of patients with heart failure in England and Wales: an observational analysis by Claudia Gulea, Rosita Zakeri, Jennifer K Quint, Constantinos Kallis

“…Objective To evaluate the association between having concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, and in-patient mortality and post-discharge management among patients hospitalised for acute heart failure (HF).Setting Data were obtained from patients enrolled in the National Heart Failure Audit.Participants 217 329 patients hospitalised for HF in England–Wales between March 2012 and 2018.Outcomes In-hospital mortality, referrals to cardiology follow-up and prescriptions for HF medications were compared between patients with comorbid COPD (COPD-HF) or asthma (asthma-HF) versus HF-alone using mixed-effects logistic regression.Results Patients with COPD-HF were more likely to die during hospitalisation, and those with asthma-HF had a reduced likelihood of death, compared with patients who had HF-alone ((adjusted)ORadj, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.06 to 1.14 and ORadj, 95% CI: 0.84, 0.79 to 0.88). …”
