Glypican-4 (GPC-4), an endothelial cell surface protein, is released into the circulation in the context of ischemia, inflammation, neurohumoral activity, and shear stress. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of GPC-4 in chronic heart failure. GPC-4 concentrations were determined in two prospective cohorts: patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and with transthyretin amylo...

Demographic studies on translocated primate groups provide a unique opportunity to study population dynamics, social strategies, and reproductive parameters of a species adapting to new environments. In 1996, 38 Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata ) of the Minoo-H group (Osaka Prefecture, Japan) were translocated to Affenberg Landskron, a four-hectare naturally forested park in southern Austria. By January 2020, the population...
