Natural History of MYH7-Related Dilated Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND Variants in myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) are responsible for disease in 1% to 5% of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); however, the clinical characteristics and natural history of MYH7-related DCM are poorly described. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the phenotype and prognosis of MYH7-related DCM. We also evaluated the influence of variant location on phenotypic expression. METHODS We studied clinical data from 147 individuals with DCM-causing MYH7 variants (47.6% female; 35.6 +/- 19.2 years) recruited from 29 international centers. RESULTS At initial evaluation, 106 (72.1%) patients had DCM (left ventricular ejection fraction: 34.5% +/- 11.7%). Median follow-up was 4.5 years (IQR: 1.7-8.0 years), and 23.7% of carriers who were initially phenotype-negative developed DCM. Phenotypic expression by 40 and 60 years was 46% and 88%, respectively, with 18 patients (16%) first diagnosed at <18 years of age. Thirty-six percent of patients with DCM met imaging criteria for LV noncompaction. During follow-up, 28% showed left ventricular reverse remodeling. Incidence of adverse cardiac events among patients with DCM at 5 years was 11.6%, with 5 (4.6%) deaths caused by end-stage heart failure (ESHF) and 5 patients (4.6%) requiring heart transplantation. The major ventricular arrhythmia rate was low (1.0% and 2.1% at 5 years in patients with DCM and in those with LVEF of <= 35%, respectively). ESHF and major ventricular arrhythmia were significantly lower compared with LMNA-related DCM and similar to DCM caused by TTN truncating variants. CONCLUSIONS MYH7-related DCM is characterized by early age of onset, high phenotypic expression, low left ventricular reverse remodeling, and frequent progression to ESHF. Heart failure complications predominate over ventricular arrhythmias, which are rare. (C) 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Cardiology Foundation

The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer, MEDA. A Suite of Environmental Sensors for the Mars 2020 Mission

86 pags, 49 figs, 24 tabsNASA's Mars 2020 (M2020) rover mission includes a suite of sensors to monitor current environmental conditions near the surface of Mars and to constrain bulk aerosol properties from changes in atmospheric radiation at the surface. The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) consists of a set of meteorological sensors including wind sensor, a barometer, a relative humidity sensor, a set of 5 thermocouples to measure atmospheric temperature at ∼1.5 m and ∼0.5 m above the surface, a set of thermopiles to characterize the thermal IR brightness temperatures of the surface and the lower atmosphere. MEDA adds a radiation and dust sensor to monitor the optical atmospheric properties that can be used to infer bulk aerosol physical properties such as particle size distribution, non-sphericity, and concentration. The MEDA package and its scientific purpose are described in this document as well as how it responded to the calibration tests and how it helps prepare for the human exploration of Mars. A comparison is also presented to previous environmental monitoring payloads landed on Mars on the Viking, Pathfinder, Phoenix, MSL, and InSight spacecraft.This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, through the projects No. ESP2014-54256-C4-1-R (also -2-R, -3-R and -4-R) and AYA2015-65041-P; Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, projects No. ESP2016-79612-C3-1-R (also -2-R and -3-R), ESP2016-80320-C2-1-R, RTI2018-098728-B-C31 (also -C32 and -C33) and RTI2018-099825-B-C31; Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacial; Ministry of Science and Innovation's Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology; Grupos Gobierno Vasco IT1366-19; and European Research Council Consolidator Grant no 818602.Peer reviewe

Proposal to institutionalize criteria and quality standards for cervical cancer screening within a health care system

The uterine cervix is the most common cancer site for females. Approximately 52,000 new cases occur annually in Latin America, thus the need to improve efficiency and effectiveness of Cervical Cancer Screening Programs (CCSP) is mandatory to decrease the unnecessary suffering women must bear. This paper is addressing essential issues to revamp the CCSP as proposed by the Mexican official norm. A general framework for institutionaling CCSP is outlined. Furthermore, strategies to strengthen CCSP performance through managerial strategies and quality assurance activities are described. The focus is on the following activities: 1) improving coverage; 2) implementing smear-taking quality control; 3) improving quality in interpretation of Pap test; 4) guaranteeing treatment for women for whom abnormalities are detected; 5) improving follow-up; 6) development of quality control measures and 7) development of monitoring and epidemiological surveillance information systems. Changes within the screening on cervical cancer may be advocated as new technologies present themselves and shortcomings in the existing program appear. It is crucial that these changes should be measured through careful evaluation in order to tally up potential benefits

Money Talks: Team Variables and Player Positions that Most Influence the Market Value of Professional Male Footballers in Europe

The aim of this paper is to analyse different interactions of the variables (age, position, or quality of the team and the league) and the crowdsourcing Transfermarkt values of male players in the top European leagues. All players (n = 2259) in the five most highly valued European leagues—Spain, England, Italy, France, and Germany—from the 2017/2018 season were included in this study. Data were retrieved from the open-source football database (Transfermarkt). The present economic value (VPRESENT) and maximum economic value (VMAX) of all players with professional contracts were registered. Regression analysis evidenced a significant influence of the level of the team, the birth month, the league, the playing position and the age of the player on mean and maximum economic value (p < 0.05). This analysis confirms that the players participating in the UEFA Champions League, Premier League teams, playing as attacking midfielders, and born in the first quarter of the year are the most economically valued in terms of both current value (R2 of 0.33) and maximal value (R2 of 0.36). Therefore, international football entities must take into account the financial balance between competitions—and not only at the domestic level, as the attractiveness and balance of European competitions may be directly affectedSin financiación3.251 JCR (2020) Q2, 60/125 Environmental Studies0.612 SJR (2020) Q1, 173/776 Geography, Planning and DevelopmentNo data IDR 2019UE

Analysis of annual expenditure in equipment by 5k and 10k runners according to race time

The aim of this research was to analyse the direct expenditure of the runners who participated at the II Charity Run Real Madrid Foundation, as well as direct expenditure’s influence on race times at the 5km run and the 10km run. The sample was composed of 429 runners (M=34.36±11.68 years old; M=5.70±6.64 years of experience) from a total of 3638 runners who participated in the II Charity Run Real Madrid Foundation, which took place on 28th of January, 2018 at Madrid (Spain). The sample was divided into three groups according to their race time (measured in minutes), using k-means clustering. For the 5km run, the three resulting groups were divided into 47’-73’, 32’-46’ and 16’-31’, while for the 10km run, the groups were divided into 61’-77’, 52’-60’ and 36’-51’. Results reveal a clear tendency towards economic efficiency among runners with the lowest race times (5km and 10km) compared to the other groups. Getting to know precisely how runners’ money is spent annually will allow for individualized marketing campaigns targeting each type of runner. Key words: fun runs; economic impact, sporting equipment, running.Sin financiaciónNo data JCR 20180.318 SJR (2018) Q3, 104/191 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation; Q4, 100/125 Sports SciencesNo data IDR 2018UE

Spectator spending and satisfaction analysis in the 2017 Madrid Tennis Open according to the attendee profile

The Madrid Tennis Open represents one of the most important clay court tournaments on both the ATP and the WTA circuits. Year after year, the tournament grows consistently with an increase in the number of spectators and the presence of the best current tennis players. As a result, it seems relevant to know the tournament’s impact in Madrid. The aim of this research was to measure the attendees' profile, their expenses during their stay in Madrid and their satisfaction and perception of different variables related to the event. A survey of 738 attendees, designed for this event, was conducted during the 10-day tournament. The majority of attendees were male and highly educated, and on average the respondents were 37 years old, had a monthly family income close to 2,500€ and attended the tournament for two days. The average expenditure amounted to 394€, amounting to 1,146€ for attendees residing abroad, who spend significantly more money than attendees residing in Madrid or in the rest of Spain. Satisfaction with the event was high, with player quality, match quality and stadium security being especially highly evaluated. More than 90% of non-resident attendees intend to return in the future and would recommend Madrid as a tourist destination. Learning about the attendees’ satisfaction and about the economic impact caused by the event will provide valuable data to the public and private agents involved in future decision-making.Sin financiaciónNo data JCR 20190.318 SJR (2018) Q3, 104/191 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation; Q4, 100/125 Sports SciencesNo data IDR 2018UE

Collaborative model between fitness centres and universities: The case study of Universidad Europea and Holmes Place

Introduction: As part of a growing trend toward greater collaboration between academia and industry, universities have an excellent opportunity to develop win-win strategies with renowned fitness centres. As an example of this, Universidad Europea of Madrid developed a research project for Holmes Place fitness centres in Madrid and Barcelona. The goal was for Universidad Europea to measure the rate of interest and the satisfaction level of Holmes Place clients with a recently implemented service called Clinic. This is a premium fitness evaluation service that helps clients to achieve their fitness goals by offering five assessments: Medical Welcome Session, Nutrition, Posture, Physio and Running. Methods: Surveys were collected from 736 Holmes Place clients. 76 of them were Clinic clients, while the other 660 were potential clients who had never used that service. All of the respondents reported their demographic characteristics, sports practice, training frequency and length of membership. Specifically, Clinic clients reported their satisfaction with the service, while potential clients expressed their rate of interest in Clinic. The data collected were analysed using QuickTapSurvey software. Results: 89.67% of respondents were potential clients. Among them, the percentage of clients who were interested in trying each of the assessments was 78.64% for the Medical Welcome Session, 82.42% for Nutrition, 84.09% for Posture, 82.27% for Physio and 55.61% for Running. On the other hand, 10.33% of respondents were Clinic clients. The Net Promoter Score (Reichheld, 2003) in these clients was 50. The percentage of satisfied clients for each of the assessments was 93.94% for the Medical Welcome Session, 94.59% for Nutrition, 84.62% for Posture, 92.59% for Physio, and 76.92% for Running. Conclusion The majority of Clinic clients were satisfied with this service, but these clients represented a small fraction of all Holmes Place members. As a result, Universidad Europea suggested to Holmes Place Senior Team that they improve the Clinic promotional strategy. This collaborative model allowed Universidad Europea to team up with a prestigious firm, while Holmes Place was able to detect the main issues related to its services, in order to improve them.Sin financiaciónNo data 2018UE
