Abstract
Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF). In consideration of emerging evidence that there are clinically relevant sex-related differences in the course of T2DM and subsequent cardiovascular outcomes, it is unknown if SGLT2i therapy is sex-independently utilized in daily clinical practice. Methods: Patients with T2DM and HF admitted to a tertiary academic center between January 2014 and April 2020 were identified through a search of electronic health records. Data on antidiabetic therapy were acquired at discharge and were screened for SGLT2i prescription. Results: Overall, 812 patients (median age 70 years, 29.7% female) were included in the present analysis. Only 17.3% of the study population received an SGLT2i. In comparison between sexes, females show lower rates of SGLT2i prescription (11.2% vs. 19.8%, p = 0.003), despite comparable patient characteristics. Furthermore, male HF patients showed a significantly higher probability of SGLT2i prescription with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.59 (95% confidence interval 1.29-5.19; p = 0.008). Females who did not receive an SGLT2i showed higher rates of chronic kidney disease (25.2% vs. 7.4%, p = 0.039) and greater levels of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP; 2092 vs. 825 pg/mL, p = 0.011) as compared to female SGLT2i recipients, which did not explain the observed sex-related disparities. Conclusion: SGLT2i are potentially underutilized in female patients with HF and T2DM, despite an overall increasing prescription trend during the observation period. Reasons for withholding therapy could not be objectified. The present data indicate a major need to increase awareness of guideline-directed therapy, especially in female HF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Purinergic signaling receptor Y12 (P2Y12) inhibitors are a fundamental part of pharmacological therapy in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) for preventing recurrent ischemic events. Current guidelines support the use of prasugrel over ticagrelor-however, ticagrelor is widely used for preclinical loading during ACS due to its ease of administration. In this regard, it remains unknown whether the preclinical loading with P2Y12 inhibitors impacts decision-making for the long-term dual antiplatelet strategy, as well as cardiovascular outcomes, including re-percutaneous coronary intervention in real-world settings. METHODS Within this population-based prospective observational study, all patients with ACS who received medical care via the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) in the city of Vienna between January 2018 and October 2020 were enrolled. Patients were stratified according to their P2Y12 inhibitor loading regimen. Subsequently, the association of P2Y12 inhibitor loading on long-term prescription at discharge and outcome was assessed. RESULTS The entire study cohort consisted of 1176 individuals with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), of whom 47.5% received prasugrel and 52.5% ticagrelor. The likelihood of adhering to the initial P2Y12 inhibitor strategy during the clinical stay was high for both ticagrelor (84%; OR: 10.00; p < 0.001) and prasugrel (77%; OR: 21.26; p < 0.001). During patient follow-up (median follow-up time three years), 84 (7.1%) patients died due to cardiovascular causes, and 82 (7.0%) patients required re-PCI. Notably, there was no difference in cardiovascular mortality (6.6% ticagrelor vs. 7.7% prasugrel) or re-PCI rates (6.6% ticagrelor vs. 7.3% prasugrel) addressing the P2Y12 inhibition strategy. CONCLUSION We observed that, regardless of the initial antiplatelet inhibitor strategy, the in-hospital P2Y12 adherence was exceedingly high, and there was a minimal occurrence of switching to another P2Y12 inhibitor. Most importantly, no significant difference in cardiovascular death/re-PCI between ticagrelor and prasugrel-based preclinical loading has been observed. Consequently, the choice of high potent P2Y12 did not influence the cardiac outcome from a long-term perspective.

Abstract
Bone samples of a ptolemeic mummy have been employed to study the mode of conservation on the intactness of Zn2Mg alkaline phosphatase in both structure and catalytic activity. A protein of M(r) = 190 +/- 10 kDa being identical to the 200 kDa enzyme of fresh human bones was successfully isolated. Regardless of age 200 kDa protein bands and a distinct subunit at 60 kDa were seen in SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The 200 kDa band was also monitored by activity staining. The specific activity was 120 mU/mg and 65% of the respective activity obtained in the identical preparation using fresh human tibia or rib. The enzymic activity was inhibited in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline and L-homoarginine. Radiocarbon dating supported the assignment of the mummy to the early ptolemeic period. Among the many bactericidal and fungicidal components employed for mummification were aromatic alcohols, mono- and sesquiterpenes. Pistachio resin was the major balm resin used. The microbiological sterility of the bone surface was ascertained by independent bacterial and fungal examinations.
