“…Both surgical intervention (p &lt; 0.0001) and clear margins (p = 0.0051) were significantly linked to improved survival. Local recurrence was noted in 28.6% of the 77 surgical cases, and predominantly in the high-grade sarcomas (81.8%). …”

In-silico trials with human modelling and simulation for guiding optimal stratification of atrial fibrillation patients to catheter ablation and pharmacological therapy by Dasí i Martinez, A

“…Different mechanisms of the arrhythmia (i.e., stable micro-re-entries, wavefront meandering, transient rotors and wave breakups) have been linked to specific ionic current dysregulations and their relationship with the structurally-remodelled substrate (i.e., presence of low voltage areas and atrial enlargement).…”

Multi-colony coral skeletal Ba/Ca from Singapore’s turbid urban reefs : relationship with contemporaneous in-situ seawater parameters by Tanzil, Jani Thuaibah Isa, Goodkin, Nathalie Fairbank, Sin, T. M., Chen, Mengli, Fabbro, Gareth Nicholas, Boyle, E. A., Lee, A. C., Toh, K. B.

“…There was also no clear relationship between Ba/Cacoral and skeletal luminescence G/B (a coral proxy strongly linked with salinity and river runoff). This implies that (1) the incorporation of terrestrially derived humic-like substances into the coral is independent of Ba, and (2) it is likely factors other than freshwater discharge/flood events are driving the poor reproducibility of Ba/Cacoral and disconnect with BaSW at our study sites. …”
