Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System
2013
Abstract New monitoring technologies are being progressively implemented in open-ocean and coastal observatories. The Mediterranean Sea is a well-known, reduced-scale ocean, an ideal natural laboratory to study global ocean processes, particular those associated with meso- submesoscale variability, interactions mean flows ecosystem response. SOCIB, the Balearic Islands Coastal Ocean Observing Forecasting System, one of such observatories, multiplatform distributed integrated system, facility...
The pathways and transformations of dense water overflows, which depend on small-scale interactions between flow dynamics erosional-depositional processes, are a central piece in the ocean's large-scale circulation. A novel, high-resolution current hydrographic data set highlights intricate pathway travelled by saline Mediterranean Overflow as it enters Atlantic. Interaction with topography constraints its spreading. Over initial 200 km west Gibraltar gateway, distinct channels separate...
Abstract Aims Many European healthcare providers struggle to adopt multidisciplinary, integrated care pathways for people with heart failure (HF) as recommended by the Society of Cardiology. PRO‐HF (Program Optimize Heart Failure Patient Pathways) was developed help clinicians identify strengths, gaps, and shortcomings in their HF support tailored interventions optimize enhance patient care. We report initial findings from baseline assessments pathway characteristics challenges 10 hospitals...
Abstract Introduction Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS), like many other disease spectra, exhibit differences not only in incidences men and women but also manifestation, treatment prognosis. Objectives This study aims to characterize ACS manifestation both women. Methods We conducted an observational with retrospective analysis of all patients included between 2002 2019 the Portuguese Registry (ProACS), a voluntary, observational, prospective, continuous registry Society Cardiology National...
Abstract Introduction Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary artery has emerged as the primary cause of mortality in women across Europe, highlighted by Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). While preventive measures are crucial, understanding gender-based differences treatment approaches could further enhance efforts to reduce mortality. Objectives This study aims investigate gender disparities initial approach acute syndromes (ACS). Methods We performed an...
Abstract. Global circulation of intermediate water masses has been extensively studied; however, its regional and local along continental margins variability implications on sea floor morphologies are still not well known. In this study the mass in Gulf Cádiz (GoC) adjacent areas analysed discussed. Remarkable seasonal variations Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) Subarctic (SAIW) determined. During autumn a greater presence AAIW seems to be related reduction SAIW Eastern North Atlantic...
Use of invasive physiological assessment in patients with coronary artery disease varies widely and is perceived to be low. We aimed examine adoption rates as well patterns determinants use an unselected population undergoing angiography over a long time frame.

Key Clinical Message Although mild pericardial effusion is a usual finding in patients with hypothyroidism, massive or tamponade rare and customarily related to severe hypothyroidism. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism should be considered the differential presenting unexplained effusion, even when signs symptoms are nonexistent.
Aim To assess the temporal trends in usage pattern of non-invasive testing before invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and its diagnostic yield patients with suspected artery disease (CAD). Methods Cross-sectional observational multicenter study 4805 consecutive (60% male, mean age 66 ± 10 years) CAD undergoing elective ICA due to angina pectoris two centers, from 2008 2017. The use noninvasive proportion obstructive (defined as presence at least one ≥50% stenosis on ICA) were assessed....
Os autores descrevem um caso de uma doente admitida após episódio pré‐sincopal associado a precordialgia e cujo ecocardiograma sumário feito no Serviço Urgência demonstrou alterações compatíveis com tromboembolismo pulmonar, tendo sido submetida terapêutica fibrinolítica, paragem cardiorrespiratória. Na angiotomografia tórax feita posteriormente para confirmação diagnóstica demonstra‐se presença não só trombos nível da artéria mas também disseção aorta Stanford B, tendo‐se optado pela...

Abstract Introduction It is widely accepted that coronary and valve calcification measured by cardiac CT, individually, are associated with cardiovascular events mortality. However, the role of an encompassing marker atherosclerosis could be more representative real risk. Objectives To determine prognostic value a combined coronary, valvular aortic calcium score to predict long-term major adverse cerebrovascular (MACCE). Methods We conducted single center study on 316 consecutive patients...
