Severe Neurologic Disease in a Horse Caused by Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus, Austria, 2021
(2023)Abstract: As evidenced by sero-epidemiological studies, infections of horses with the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) occur frequently in TBEV-endemic areas. However, there are only very few reports of clinical cases. ... -
Sex Variations in Retinal Microcirculation Response to Lower Body Negative Pressure
(2023)Introduction: Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is routinely used to induce central hypovolemia. LBNP leads to a shift in blood to the lower extremities. While the effects of LBNP on physiological responses and large ... -
Shock Index in Patients Presenting With Acute Heart Failure: A Multicenter Multinational Observational Study
(2019-06)Abstract: Shock index (SI) has a prognostic role in coronary heart disease; however, data on acute heart failure (AHF) are lacking. We evaluated the predictive values of SI in patients with AHF. Data were retrospectively ... -
