Abstract Background Transthyretin Cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR) presents with diffuse deposition of amyloid fibrils in the heart. Biomarkers cardiac involvement such as troponins are often elevated even early disease stages, reflecting direct cardiomyocyte damage and coronary microvascular dysfunction by deposits. Objectives Evaluate global segmental flow reserve (CFR) PET 13N-ammonia patients her...

We show that liquid organic scintillator detectors (e. g., KamLAND and Borexino) can measure the 8B solar neutrino flux by means of the νe charged current interaction with the 13C nuclei naturally contained in the scintillators. The neutrino events can be identified by exploiting the time and space coincidence with the subsequent decay of the produced 13N nuclei. We perform a detailed analysis ...

Let Ed(n) be the maximum number of pairs that can be selected from a set of n points in Rd such that the midpoints of these pairs are convexly independent. We show that E2(n) > Ω(n √ log n), which answers a question of Eisenbrand, Pach, Rothvoß, and Sopher (2008) on large convexly independent subsets in Minkowski sums of finite planar sets, as well as a question of Halman, Onn, and Rothblum (20...
