Increasing blood pressure has a continuum of JOYFUL adverse risk for cardiovascular events.Traditionally this single measure was used to determine who to treat and how vigorously.However, estimating absolute risk rather than measurement of a single risk factor such as blood pressure is a superior method to identify who is most at risk of having an
Seasonal-to-decadal predictions with the ensemble Kalman filter and the Norwegian Earth System Model: a twin experiment
Here, we firstly demonstrate the potential of an advanced flow dependent data assimilation method for performing seasonal-to-decadal prediction and secondly, reassess the use of sea surface temperature (SST) for initialisation of these forecasts.We use the Norwegian Climate Prediction Model (NorCPM), which is based on the Norwegian Earth System Mod
Erectile function, urinary continence and oncologic outcomes of neurovascular bundle sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
BackgroundThe nerve-sparing Cooler (NS) effect of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) on patients with a high-risk prostate cancer remains unclear.The objective of this study was to compare the urinary continence, erectile function and oncology outcomes of the nerve-sparing and non-nerve-sparing (NNS) group during RARP surgeries.MethodsWe s
Importance of Small Forest Fragments in Agricultural Landscapes for Maintaining Orangutan Metapopulations
Historically, orangutans (Pongo spp.) lived in large contiguous areas of intact rainforest.Today, they are also found in highly modified and fragmented landscapes dominated by oil palm or industrial timber plantations; a situation that calls for new conservation approaches.Here we report signs of orangutan presence in more than 120 small forest fra
