The possible relationship between temporal variability of electrocardiographic spatial heterogeneity of repolarization and the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is not completely understood.

The standard deviation of T-wave morphology dispersion (TMD-SD), of QRST angle (QRSTA-SD), and of T-wave area dispersion (TW-Ad-SD) were analyzed on beat-to-beat basis from 10min period of the baseline electrocardiographic recording in ARTEMIS study patients with angiographically verified CAD.

After on average of 8.6±2.3years of follow-up, a total of 66 of the 1,678 present study subjects (3.9%) had experienced SCD or were resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). TMD-SD was most closely associated with the risk for SCD and was significantly higher in patients who had experienced SCD/SCA compared with those who remained alive (3.61±2.83 vs. 2.64±2.52, p=.008, respectively), but did not differ significantly between the patients who had experienced non-SCD (n=71, 4.2%) and those who remained alive (3.20±2.73 vs. 2.65±2.53, p=.077, respectively) or between the patients who succumbed to non-cardiac death (n=164, 9.8%) and those who stayed alive (2.64±2.17 vs. 2.68±2.58, p=.853). After adjustments with relevant clinical risk indicators of SCD/SCA, TMD-SD still predicted SCD/SCA (HR 1.107, 95% CIs 1.035-1.185, p=.003).

Temporal variability of electrocardiographic spatial heterogeneity of repolarization represented by TMD-SD independently predicts long-term risk of SCD/SCA in patients with CAD.

Surprisingly, there seems to be no generally accepted succinct definition of what exactly a breeding programme is, neither is there a unified language to describe breeding programmes in a comprehensive, unambiguous and reproducible way. In this work, we try to fill this gap by suggesting a general definition of breeding programmes that also pertains to cases where genetic progress is not achieved through selection, but, for example, through transgenic technologies, or the aim is not to generate genetic progress, but, for example, to maintain genetic diversity. The key idea of the underlying concept is to represent a breeding programme in modular form as a directed graph that is composed of nodes and edges, where nodes represent cohorts of breeding units, usually individuals, and edges represent breeding activities, like "selection" or "reproduction." We claim, that by defining a comprehensive set of nodes and edges, it is possible to represent any breeding programme of arbitrary complexity by such a graph, which thus comprises a full description of the breeding programme. This concept is implemented in a web-based tool (MoBPSweb, available at www.mobps.de) and has a link to the R-package MoBPS (Modular Breeding Program Simulator) to simulate the described breeding programmes. The approach is illustrated by showcasing three different breeding programmes of increasing complexity. Cytoskeletal Signaling inhibitor The concept allows a formal description of breeding programmes, which is requested, for example, in legal regulations of the European Union, but so far cannot be provided in a standardized format. In the discussion, we point out potential limitations of the concept and argue that the general approach can be easily extended to account for novel breeding technologies, to breeding of crops or experimental species, but also to modelling diversity dynamics in natural populations.
Levels of American Heart Association-defined cardiovascular (CV) health behaviours have not been fully reported among young adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We describe poor, intermediate and ideal levels of American Heart Association-defined CV health behaviours among young adolescents in LMICs.

We categorised the levels of CV health behaviours (smoking, body mass index, physical activity and diet) as poor, intermediate, or ideal and calculated the prevalence of each level and the cumulative number of ideal CV health behaviours using the latest data from the global school-based health survey during 2009-2015. The weighted prevalence and 95% confidential intervals were calculated for the whole sample and for sub-groups stratified by gender and age. Pooled overall and regional estimates were calculated using a random-effects model. This study included 153 759 young adolescents from 45 countries.

Overall, 86.3% (95% confidence interval, 82.7-89.9), 80.1% (79.8-80.4), 15.4% (13.7-17.2) and 1.7% (1.1-2.2) of respondents reported ideal levels for smoking, body mass index, physical activity and a healthy diet score, respectively. Overall, 0.3% (0.2-0.4) of respondents had 'four' cumulative ideal CV health behaviours. This 'percentage' was lowest in the Americas (0.2%) and highest in Southeast Asia (0.5%).

Consistently low proportions of young adolescents in LMICs met the ideal levels of physical activity and a healthy diet score or had 'four' ideal CV health behaviours. For this population, physical activity and a healthy dietary pattern should be strongly prioritised.

However, the process of evaluating numerous images captured by time-lapse imaging (TLI) system is time-consuming and some important features cannot be recognized by naked eyes. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is used in medical imaging yet in IVF. The study aims to apply CNN on day-one human embryo TLI. We first presented CNN algorithm for day-one human embryo segmentation on three distinct features zona pellucida (ZP), cytoplasm and pronucleus (PN). We tested the CNN performance compared side-by-side with manual labelling by clinical embryologist, then measured the segmented day-one human embryo parameters and compared them with literature reported values. The precisions of segmentation were that cytoplasm over 97%, PN over 84% and ZP around 80%. For the morphometrics data of cytoplasm, ZP and PN, the results were comparable with those reported in literatures, which showed high reproducibility and consistency.
