TL;DR: The prevalences of diastolic abnormalities and diastolics dysfunction are higher than that of systolic dysfunction and are increased (despite age-dependent diagnostic criteria) in the elderly.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic trees were discussed in relation to morphological and anatomical features of the fruit bodies and the taxonomic status of Phellinidium and Pyrrhoderma remained uncertain.

TL;DR: The hymenochaetoid clade is dominated by wood-decaying species previously classified in the artificial families Corticiaceae, Polyporaceae and Stereaceae, and a group of small white to brightly pigmented agarics earlier classified in Omphalina form a subclade together with some similarly colored stipitate stereoid and corticioid species.

TL;DR: Several fungi, all of which are wood-inhabiting, were found to be associated with the Esca disease of grapevine and information is provided on taxonomy, cultured mycelium, microscopical characters, nuclear behaviour, as well as restriction and sequence data of ribosomal DNA.

TL;DR: To assess BNP for the detection of diastolic dysfunction in the general population, 1678 subjects within an age‐ and sex‐stratified survey were examined and BNP was measured using a commercially available RIA.
