Occurrence and origin of thallium in mineral and thermal waters from the northern Upper Rhine Graben and adjacent regions, GermanyNARA Subscribed
Although thallium is a widespread and highly toxic element, it is rarely investigated in environmental chemistry due to its typically low concentrations in water. Consequently, little is known about the occurrence of thallium in groundwater and its origin. Here we show that high thallium concentrations of 5 up to 99 µg/l occur in Hesse exclusively in Na-Cl-waters and are locally clustered within the Taunus Border Zone. These v...
Long-Lasting Stretching Induces Muscle Hypertrophy: A Meta-Analysis of Animal StudiesNARA Subscribed
Muscular hypertrophy depends on metabolic exhaustion as well as mechanical load on the muscle. Mechanical tension seems to be the crucial factor to stimulate protein synthesis. The present meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether stretching can generate adequate mechanical tension to induce muscle hypertrophy. We used PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus to search for literature examining the effects of long-term stretch...
Microvascular and proteomic signatures overlap in COVID-19 and bacterial sepsis: the MICROCODE studyNARA Subscribed
Aims Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and bacterial sepsis are distinct conditions, both are known to trigger endothelial dysfunction with corresponding microcirculatory impairment. The purpose of this study was to compare microvascular injury patterns and proteomic signatures in COVID-19 and bacterial sepsis patients. Methods and results This multi-center, observational study included 22 hospitalized adult COVID-1...
Soil–plant interactions modulated water availability of Swiss forests during the 2015 and 2018 droughtsNARA Subscribed
Central Europe has been experiencing unprecedented droughts during the last decades, stressing the decrease in tree water availability. However, the assessment of physiological drought stress is challenging, and feedback between soil and vegetation is often omitted because of scarce belowground data. Here we aimed to model Swiss forests' water availability during the 2015 and 2018 droughts by implementing the mechanistic soil‐...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Headache and migraine in mitochondrial disease and its impact on life—results from a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based studyNARA Subscribed
Headache is frequent in patients with mitochondrial disorders. Previous studies point to a higher prevalence of headache in these patients than in the general population. As mitochondrial disorders often present a variety of other symptoms, the question arises how much the presence of headache really influences daily life. We performed a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study investigation with 61 patients with a genetical...
Self-reported cardiovascular health of teachers: results from the 5-year follow-up of the Gutenberg Health Study cohortNARA Subscribed
Objectives Following an exploratory approach, we examined cardiovascular disease risk factors at baseline and the 5-year incidence proportion of self-reported doctor-diagnosed cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in teachers and other occupational groups of the Gutenberg Health Study. Methods Study participants lived in the region of Mainz, Germany. Data from 6510 working participants without prevalent CVD at baseline (2007–2012) wer...
Microvascular dysfunction in COVID-19: the MYSTIC studyNARA Subscribed
Rationale Pre-clinical and autopsy studies have fueled the hypothesis that a dysregulated vascular endothelium might play a central role in the pathogenesis of ARDS and multi-organ failure in COVID-19. Objectives To comprehensively characterize and quantify microvascular alterations in patients with COVID-19. Methods Hospitalized adult patients with moderate-to-severe or critical COVID-19 ( n = 23) were enrolled non-consecutiv...
