ASSOCIATION OF ANTICOAGULANT-RELATED BLEEDING EVENTS WITH CANCER DETECTION IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Association of anticoagulant-related bleeding events with cancer detection in atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: A bleeding episode may herald cancer in the general population.Oral anticoagulants (OACs), the mainstay treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), are known to increase the risk of bleeding, and may thus promote an earlier diagnosis of cancer.Data regarding the association of bleeding episodes with cancer in patients with AF on OACs are sc

A procedure to analyze the viability of rainwater harvesting systems in urban areas based on pre-defined diagrams

ABSTRACT Giving some specific precipitation regimes and technical design parameters, urban Rainwater Harvesting Systems (RWHS) may represent an alternative source to drinking water supply system promoting its conservation and rational use.The use of RWHS requires the definition of generic and simplified method for sizing RWHS accumulation tanks, wh

Multi-substrate induced respiration (functional capacity) in agriculturally degraded and intact restiad bogs: implications for carbon and nitrogen cycling

Natural peatlands provide ecosystem services such as carbon storage and habitat, which can be negatively affected (degraded) by the proximity of agricultural land due to lowered water table and increased nutrient deposition.We assessed peat biochemistry and microbial function in the dry, fluctuating and Rug Medium saturated zones of the peat deposi
