The 30-day Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) has been used to risk-stratify patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Whether surgical mortality risk predicts stroke and neurocognitive outcomes following TAVR is unknown. We evaluated the association between STS-PROM and clinical outcomes, including stroke, acute brain injury on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), and cognitive decline in patients undergoing TAVR.

This study introduces a new, safe, affordable, and non-invasive device designed to detect and monitor early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Unlike traditional tests like MRI or CT scans, this device uses microwaves to examine the brain.

Food waste is an increasing global food security concern. This commentary discusses the drivers behind the growth of food waste with economic growth in particular linked with increasing food waste.

This article examines the associations between dietary inflammatory potential, antioxidant capacity, Mediterranean diet adherence, and biological age acceleration in a large UK Biobank cohort.

This study examined the link between extreme heat waves and age-adjusted cardio-kideny-metabolic mortality in US counties from 2010 to 2019

The article proposes a predictive control strategy for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that utilizes route information from digital map providers to enable electric driving within zero-emission zones. The study develops a supervisory control with Dynamic Programming in the cloud to calculate an optimal State of Charge (SOC) trajectory, which is then used to guide the rule-based controller in the vehicle.

Lifestyle factors, including physical activity, dietary patterns, sleep, stress response, social connections, and use of risky substances, are increasingly recognized as predictors of cardiovascula
