The interaction between common cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is poorly studied. We sought to explore the relation CVRF clinical characteristics of patients with HCM enrolled in EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Cardiomyopathy registry.1739 were hypertension (HT), diabetes (DM), body mass index (BMI), traits was analysed. Analyses stratified according presence or absence a pathogenic variant sarcomere gene. prevalence HT, DM, obesity (Ob)...
The central Bohemian hillfort-type site in Tismice is one of the largest (20–22 ha) Bohemia from Early to Middle Hillfort period (8th–9th century) and has been studied for years using non-destructive methods. study, which presents results complete geophysical survey as well small-scale trenching 2013, focussed on an analysis non-ferrous metal ornaments (c. 170 pcs., mostly belt horse harness decorations) analyses evidence craft production – jewellerymaking, metalsmithing casting (ingots,...
Imported artefacts from the Late La Tène period also include mosaic glass vessels produced using millefiori, reticella and ribbon techniques. The are part of assemblages oppida Stradonice Staré Hradisko Jičina-Požaha hillfort Púchov culture. Their origin can be traced to a Hellenistic workshop(s) in eastern Mediterranean that was probably operation second first centuries BC. According their chemical composition determined by means SEM-EDS, NAA LA-ICP-MS, type is same as used make ring...
Five case studies are reported on the use of neutron and photon activation analysis (NAA PAA, respectively), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, ion beam (IBA), accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) for elemental characterization or dating various objects cultural heritage, such as building materials, pottery, metallic artefacts, ancient decorations, remains historical personalities. The individual techniques their combination proved a useful, frequently indispensable tool revealing provenance...
Transmutation detectors could be alternative to the traditional activation detector method for neutron fluence dosimetry at power nuclear reactors. This new require an isotopically highly-sensitive, non-destructive in sense of compactness as well isotopic content, precise and standardly used analytical trace concentration determination. The capability Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis (PGAA) determination concentrations transmuted stable nuclides metallic foils Ni, Au, Cu Nb, which were...
Composition of more than 500 metallic artifacts was studied by means INAA and XRF, including 404 objects copper alloys. Analyses proved not only use specialized bronze alloys in the imported Roman vessels, but also very pure brass with average content 20% zinc production decorative brooches, especially 1st century A.D. These were evidently made on Bohemian territory, raw probably from provinces. Common products are mostly mixed materials possibly recycling old using local materials.
Copper Artefacts from Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age Uherské
The study contributes to knowledge of the Bronze Age tin bronze production process based on testimony metal raw materials. This concerns evidence metallurgical activities both in form semi-finished products/ingots and waste generated during activities. Metal materials a diverse nature, function provenance occur various contexts throughout most Age. Besides material analyses, originating Bohemia have not yet received comprehensive systematic attention, especially terms their detailed...
The subject of the investigation is a pair bracelets from Nový Knín in Příbram district, first which appeared 1965, second 2014. In past, bracelet was characterised as silver, with analogies Scandinavian ring ornaments 10th–11th century AD. But when this subjected to an elemental analysis XRF 2008, it found be composed alloy brass admixture silver. Following surprising discovery bracelet, series scientific and archaeological-culturally anthropological analyses were conducted, results led...
