Alpine snowbeds are characterised by a very short growing season.However, the length of the snow-free period is increasingly prolonged due to climate change, so that snowbeds become susceptible to invasions from neighbouring alpine meadow communities.We hypothesised that spatial distribution of species generated by plant interactions may indicate w
Target Enrichment Approaches for Next-Generation Sequencing Applications in Oncology
Screening for genomic sequence variants in genes of predictive and prognostic significance is an integral part of precision medicine.Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are progressively becoming platforms of choice to facilitate this, owing to their massively parallel sequencing capability, which can be Paste used to simultaneously scree
Feasibility and outcomes of atrial fibrillation screening using intermittent electrocardiography in a primary healthcare setting: A cross-sectional study.
BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke unless treated with an anticoagulant.Detecting AF can be difficult because AF is often paroxysmal and asymptomatic.The aims of this study were to develop a screening model to detect AF in a primary healthcare setting and to initiate oral anticoagulant therapy in high-risk
