1. Double Product and Autonomic Function as Predictors of Quality of Life in Heart Transplant Recipients: A Cross-Sectional Study
ABSTRACT Introduction: Heart rate control by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is impaired in heart transplant (HT) recipients, leading to increased resting heart rate, metabolic demand, and fatigue, which can impair their quality of life (QoL). In this study, we hypothesized the association of hemodynamics and autonomic function as predictors of QoL in HT

7. Evidence of association between the use of drugs and community-dwelling older people frailty: a cross-sectional study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The scientific literature has shown that an association between polypharmacy and frailty exists. However, few studies have also considered drug interactions and the use of potentially inappropriate medications. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the use of drugs and frailty among community-dwelling older people. DESIGN AND

8. The impact of minimal extrathyroidal extension in the recurrence of papillary thyroid cancer patients
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to evaluate the impact of minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE) alone on the risk of recurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The impact of other factors, including multifocality, age, tumor size, and stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) values was also assessed. Subjects and methods We retrospectively analyzed 1,108 PTC p

9. Acute Pericarditis in Crohn's Disease under Pharmacological Immunosuppression: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemma
Abstract Backgroud: Central obesity, especially visceral adipose tissue (VAT), represents a health risk due to its endocrine and metabolic capacity, contributing to the development of the atherogenic profile and strongly associating with cardiovascular morbimortality. Objective: To identify the association between central obesity and biochemical markers of

11. Inverse Design of Tapers by Bio-Inspired Algorithms
Abstract The efficiency of optical power transferred between two bidimensional waveguides, continuous waveguide and periodic subwavelength waveguide has been designed and optimized by using a taper composed by variable length segments (0.03 − 0.27 µm). Waveguides with variable width (270 − 330 nm) have been considered and the number of segments on the t
