The document discusses catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation as a treatment for resistant hypertension. It summarizes findings from the SYMPLICITY HTN-2 trial, which found that renal denervation significantly reduced blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension compared to a control group. The European Society of Cardiology has issued guidelines stating renal denervation can be considered for patients with drug-resistant hypertension who cannot lower their blood pressure through lifestyle and pharmacological means. The document also reviews the mechanism of action of renal denervation and safety findings.
This document discusses hypertension and its relationship to heart disease. It defines what constitutes normal and abnormal blood pressure readings. Hypertension accelerates atherosclerosis and increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, renal failure, and heart failure. The document then discusses the causes, diagnosis, and management of both essential (primary) hypertension and secondary hypertension which has an identifiable underlying cause such as renal disease or adrenal disorders. Investigation of hypertensive patients includes examining for end organ damage or secondary causes of hypertension through physical exam, ECG, urinalysis, and imaging tests. Left untreated, sustained hypertension can lead to hypertrophy of the heart muscle and accelerated atherosclerosis.

This document provides information about coworking spaces in Atlanta, Georgia. It begins with a Wikipedia definition of coworking as a trend where independent professionals work together in a shared space for synergy, though working independently. It then gives the location of a coworking space in Atlanta called CRM Atlanta, located between Midtown and Virginia Highland, close to amenities. It notes the space has been open less than 2 months but already has over 60 members. It positions the space as an affordable alternative for startups, freelancers, and entrepreneurs, offering amenities like fast WiFi, dedicated desks, mailboxes, and planned learning events. Membership starts at $35 per month.
The document summarizes the Colorado Health Promotion Survey conducted in fall 2010 among Colorado high school students. The survey was administered to over 4,000 students across 22 high schools to collect baseline data on health behaviors and outcomes. It aimed to measure changes in health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors over time from CDPHE-funded health programs. The survey covered topics like demographics, health, physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco use. It was not a representative sample but was intended to support health program planning and evaluation across the state.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment developed a strategic plan for 2011-2015 after gathering input from internal departments and external stakeholders.

It identifies 5 strategic priorities: creating a more efficient department, strengthening integrated public health, developing workforce competency, promoting programmatic excellence, and improving "winnable battles." The plan outlines objectives, strategies, and performance measures to guide implementation over the 5 years.
This document discusses teaching children to think like wealthy individuals in order to achieve financial independence.

This document summarizes heart failure, including its classification, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, investigations, and management. Heart failure means the heart cannot pump sufficient blood for the body's needs. It can affect the left side, right side, or both sides of the heart. Management involves correcting underlying causes, reducing demands on the heart through diet and exercise, and pharmacological therapy including diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and other drugs to modify neuroendocrine and renal responses. The goals of treatment are to alleviate symptoms and improve prognosis.

This document discusses the degradation of plastics over time. It examines research on the breakdown of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene bottles and polystyrene cups, when exposed to different environmental conditions like weather, sediment, and heat over periods of 2 years. The research found that plastic type and environment significantly impact degradation rates, with thermal aging causing faster breakdown than weather or water exposure. Most plastics showed chemical changes within 24 months, with polyurethane breaking down most quickly. Cigarette butts were also examined and found to degrade into paper and acetic acid. Understanding plastic degradation can help address the global pollution problem.
This document discusses sustainable transport and packaging materials for artworks. It summarizes the risks involved in transporting cultural heritage like vibration, climate changes, theft and accidents.

It also notes the dilemma between requirements for transporting art versus sustainable solutions. Different transport methods like trucks, planes, ships and trains are discussed in terms of sustainability. Finally, it provides examples of sustainable packaging and transport approaches like reusable crates, flexible packaging systems and virtual couriering.
1. The document provides guidance on practicing integrated pest management (IPM) in a calm and reasonable manner. It advises focusing IPM efforts on key areas like sanitation, exclusion of pests, and monitoring, rather than trying to inspect and treat everything.
2. Effective monitoring of pest populations involves using traps, record keeping, and identifying problem areas. Traps should be placed strategically and checked regularly.
3. Proper inspection is the foundation of any IPM program. Inspections should be routine and involve looking for pests, signs of pests, and conditions that could attract pests. Focus inspection on vulnerable areas and artifacts.
