Background— Parameters of cardiopulmonary exercise testing were recently identified as strong predictors mortality in adults with congenital heart disease. We hypothesized that combinations parameters may provide optimal prognostic information on midterm survival this population. Methods and Results— A total 1375 consecutive adult patients disease (age, 33±13 years) underwent at a single center over period 10 years. Peak oxygen consumption (peak V̇ o 2 ), ventilation per unit carbon dioxide...
Background— Restrictive lung defects are associated with higher mortality in patients acquired chronic heart failure. We investigated the prevalence of abnormal function, its relation to severity underlying cardiac defect, surgical history, and impact on outcome across spectrum adult congenital disease. Methods Results— A total 1188 disease (age, 33.1±13.1 years) undergoing function testing between 2000 2009 were included. Patients classified according dysfunction based predicted values...

The usage of aerial drones has become more popular as they also accessible, both in economic and usability terms. Nowadays, these vehicles can present reduced dimensions a good cost-benefit ratio, which makes it possible for several services applications supported by drone networks to emerge. Taking into account the enormous diversity use cases, many existing solutions autonomous control focus on specific scenarios. Generic mission planning platforms exist, but most them only allow missions...
Considering the high level of heat and flame exposure firefighters encounter while performing their work activities, personal protective equipment (PPE) is utmost importance to enhance safety. Phase change materials (PCMs) are known as advanced able absorb amounts thermal energy, with potential increase performance clothing.
