VALIDATION OF RISK SCORES FOR PREDICTING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTED AFTER STROKE BASED ON AN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD ALGORITHM: A REGISTRY-CLAIMS-ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD LINKED DATA STUDY

BackgroundPoststroke atrial fibrillation (AF) screening aids decisions regarding the optimal secondary prevention strategies in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).We used an electronic medical record (EMR) algorithm to identify AF in a cohort of AIS patients, which were used to validate eight risk scores for predicting AF detected after stro

The search Archers Pick for traits that make alien species invasive has mostly concentrated on comparing successful invaders and different comparison groups with respect to average trait values.By contrast, little attention has been paid to trait variability among invaders.Here, we combine an analysis of trait differences between invasive and non-i

The Arabidopsis LSD1 and LOL1 proteins both contain three conserved zinc finger domains and have antagonistic effects on plant programmed cell death (PCD).In this study, a rice (Oryza sativa) functional homolog of LSD1, designated OsLSD1, was identified.The expression of OsLSD1 was light-induced or dark-suppressed.Overexpression of OsLSD1 driven by
