On multivariable analysis only age and ticagrelor administration were associated with the occurrence of CSAHS, (p=0.0007 and p=0.0006). CSA prevalence after ACS is high and seems promoted by ticagrelor administration. Results from monocentric study suggest a preliminary signal of safety. CLINICAL TRIALS. NCT03540459.

It has been shown that zooplankton can ingest MP yet the interaction between ciliates and MP is still poorly understood. The discrimination and preferential uptake of MP rather than algal prey by ciliates was assessed in this study. The ciliate Sterkiella sp. was fed a diet that consisted of only Isochrysis galbana or a mixture of the same algae and similarly sized polyethylene beads in a 13 ratio. Significant, preferential MP grazing was observed in the Plastic-Algae treatment, which is the first reported evidence of proto-zooplankton preferentially ingesting MP over algal food. The mixed treatment contained fecal pellets with embedded MP. Preferential uptake of MP suggests that Sterkiella sp. is capable of ingesting and then "repackaging" MP that would otherwise be too small for larger taxa. This process would thus offer a mechanism for the reintroduction of MP into different compartments of the marine food web. As a consequence, it is necessary to account for small-sized MP ( less then 5 μm) particles, that may have additional and yet unknown, impacts on marine food webs.An Australian water utility has developed a Legionella High Level Risk Assessment (LHLRA) which provides a semi-qualitative assessment of the risk of Legionella proliferation and human exposure in engineered water systems using a combination of empirical observation and expert knowledge. Expanding on this LHLRA, we propose two itera
