as pioneer aromatic plant species
No full textThe area of soils polluted with heavy metals is increasing due to industrialization and globalization. Aromatic plant species can be a suitable alternative way for agricultural valorization and phytomanagement of such soils by the commercialization of essential oils avoiding risks for the food chain. The potential of growing Helianthus petiolaris in heavy metal polluted soils was assessed in pot experiments using spiked soils and soils from a shooting range. In terms of phytostabilization, H. petiolaris could grow in soils containing 1000 mg/kg Pb2þ, 50 mg/kg Cd2þ, accumulating more than three times the soil Cd content in the aerial parts and translocating significant amounts of Pb to the aerial parts when growing in soils polluted with up to 500 mg/kg Pb. When phytostabilization is considered, phytotoxicity of heavy metals strongly depends on the rhizospheric microbial communities, either by mitigating trace element phytotoxicity or promoting plant growth via phytohormone production. So, the effects of heavy metals on the diversity of the rhizospheric bacterial community were assessed using DNA-fingerprinting.Fil: Saran, Anabel.

Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;

Coronary atherosclerosis in athletes: recent insights and clinical considerations
No full textEvidence from international cohort studies has shown increased coronary atheroscle-rosis in male athletes vs controls, 1 whereas data for female athletes are scarce and contradictory but likely not different from controls. 1 A larger lifelong exercise volume and greater proportion of very vigorous intensity exercise training were identified as independent predictors of the prevalence and progression of coronary artery calcification scores (CACS) in males. 2-4 Early studies hypothesised that accelerated calcification may represent plaque stabilisation as less harmful plaque phenotypes (ie, more calcified and less mixed plaques) were found in athletes vs controls. 3 4 However, this concept was challenged by the Master@Heart study as lifelong male endurance athletes had a similar plaque morphology compared with non-athletes. 5 These collective findings raise questions whether athletes should be worried about the development of coronary atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae. THE GOOD NEWS Athletes have a better life expectancy compared with the general population with risk reductions for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality of ~30%-40%. Moreover, individuals with a higher cardiorespiratory fitness have a lower cardiovascular event rate for any given CACS compared with individuals with lower fitness. 6 This may be partially attributable to a less harmful plaque composition. For example, in a UK cohort of 106 male master athletes (55±9 years old) without cardiovascular risk factors compared with 54 non-athletic controls, athletes had more calcified and less mixed plaque morphology, 3 which are known to be less rupture prone. 7 These findings were reinforced by the Dutch Measuring Athletes' Risk of Cardiovascular Events (MARC) study, consisting of 318 recreational male athletes (aged ≥45 years), as fewer mixed and more often only calci-fied plaques were found among the most active vs least active athletes. 4 Although the Belgian Master@Heart study showed no difference in plaque composition between 191 lifelong athletes (56 (51-61) years old) and 176 non-athletic controls, this may relate to the inclusion criteria. Controls were allowed to perform up to 3 hours of exercise per week and those with cardiovascular risk factors were excluded. The Master@Heart control group, therefore, constitutes a group of extremely healthy individuals, evidenced by their very low age-specific CAC percen-tile scores (0 (0-62)%), benign plaque composition (67% calcified plaque) and high fitness level (122 (108-138)% of predicted VO 2peak). In fact, plaque characteristics of the Master@Heart controls were comparable with the master athletes of the UK cohort 3 and the most active group of the MARC study, 4 suggesting that all participants of the Master@Heart study had predominantly favourable plaque morphology
