Early in January 1939, George Barger, apparently in full health, left home to pay a short visit to friends in Switzerland, and to give a few lectures in the University of Basel. On 6 January came the news of his sudden death from heart failure, at Aeschi, on the Lake of Thun. His early death, not long after his sixtieth birthday, entails a heavy loss to science and to academic life in this country, and a deep personal loss to his many friends here; but there are many men of science in other countries also, who will mourn the loss of a valued friend and colleague, whose wide experience and friendly contacts, with men of so many nationalities and languages, have meant much for the promotion and maintenance of international fellowship in science. Barger was born in Manchester in 1878; I have known him, indeed, to be proudly insistent on his status as a British subject by birth. His parentage, however, was bi-national, his father Gerrit Barger being a Dutch engineer who had settled for a time in Manchester and married an English wife.

With Jack Sepkoski's sudden death from heart failure on May 1, 1999, paleontology lost one of its most important figures. In his 25–year career, Jack published more than 70 research articles, 15 of them in this journal, and an equal number of reviews, commentaries, and abstracts. He co-edited Paleobiology (1983–86), received the Schuchert Award (1983), and served as President of the Paleontological Society (1995–96). In 1997, he was elected to the Polish Academy of Sciences and in the same year received the Medal of the University of Helsinki. Further recognition would surely have followed but for his untimely death.

Mode Of Death

Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction comprise a heterogeneous group including some with mildly reduced EF. We hypothesized that mode of death differs by EF in ambulatory patients with HF and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. Methods: PARAGON-HF trial (Prospective Comparison of Angiotensin Receptor–Neprilysin Inhibitor With Angiotensin-Receptor Blocker Global Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction) compared clinical outcomes in 4796 patients with chronic HF and EF ≥45% randomly assigned to sacubitril/valsartan or valsartan. We examined the mode of death in relation to baseline EF in logistic regression models and the effect of randomized treatment on cause-specific death in Cox regression models. Nonlinear relationships with continuous EF were modelled using quadratic and cubic terms. Results: Of 691 deaths during the trial, 416 (60%) were ascribed to cardiovascular, 220 (32%) to noncardiovascular, and 55 (8%) to unknown causes. Of cardiovascular deaths, 154 (37%) were due to sudden death, 118 (28%) were due to HF, 35 (8%) to stroke, 27 (6%) to myocardial infarction, and 82 (20%) to other cardiovascular causes. Rates of all-cause, cardiovascular, and sudden death were higher in those with lower left ventricular ejection fraction (all P <0.001), while rates of non-cardiovascular death were greater in patients with higher EF. Sacubitril/valsartan did not reduce overall death, cardiovascular death, or sudden death compared with valsartan, irrespective of baseline EF (all P for interaction >0.30). Conclusions: Among patients with HF and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction enrolled in PARAGON-HF, the proportion of cardiovascular and sudden death were higher in those with lower left ventricular EF, and the proportion of noncardiovascular death rose with EF. Regardless of EF, sacubitril/valsartan did not reduce death from any cause compared with valsartan. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT01920711.

Método: trata-se de estudo quantitativo, tipo transversal, aplicar-se-ão três questionários estruturados, autoaplicáveis para mensurar o nível da qualidade de vida e índice de depressão entre acadêmicos. Far-se-á a análise estatística descritiva, empregar-se-á o teste Liliefors e usar-se-ão o teste t de Student. Apresentar-se-ão os resultados em forma de figuras. Resultados esperados: realizar-se-á a correlação entre a qualidade de vida dos estudantes dos cursos de graduação da universidade e a incidência de fatores depressivos com o início da vida acadêmica.

Method: this is a quantitative cross-sectional study. Three structured, self-administered questionnaires will be applied to measure the level of quality of life and depression index among academics. The descriptive statistical analysis will be done, the Liliefors test will be used and the Student's t-test will be used. The results will be presented in the form of figures. Expected results: the correlation between the quality of life of undergraduate students of the university and the incidence of depressive factors with the beginning of academic life will be realized.
