AIMS To determine the prevalence and incidence of renal dysfunction (RD) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), to identify contributory factors and predictors of worsening renal function (WRF), and to explore the relationship between RD and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS Prospective data on 1216 patients with CHF were analysed. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was used to determin...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To identify baseline predictors of worsening renal function (WRF) in an acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patient population receiving continuous infusion loop diuretics. DESIGN Retrospective observational analysis. SETTING Academic tertiary medical center. PATIENTS A total of 177 patients with ADHF receiving continuous infusion loop diuretics from January 2006 thr...

[1] A version of the state-of-the-art Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) has been developed for polar applications. The model known as ‘‘Polar WRF’’ is tested over the Arctic Ocean with a western Arctic grid using 25-km resolution. The model is based upon WRF version 2.2, with improvements to the Noah land surface model and the snowpack treatment. The ocean surface treatment is modifi...

The fire weather of south-east Australia from 1985 to 2009 has been simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis supplied the lateral boundary conditions and initial conditions. The model simulated climate and the reanalysis wer...

O utcomes after admission for acute heart failure (AHF) remain extremely poor, especially for patients with decreased renal function or those in whom worsening renal function (WRF) develops during treatment. The Table shows the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with 30-and 60-day mortality from the Dose Optimization Strategies Evaluation trial in acute Heart Failure (DOSE HF),...

abstract- efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. this research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (wp) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
