The largest simulations to date deal either with the huge dark matter web-like structures in the Universe or with the details, such as how galaxies and clusters of galaxies form along these webs. In this new work, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and the Universities of Harvard and Durham have brought both together.

The diagnosed severity of aortic stenosis strongly correlates with clinical outcomes, new Kaiser Permanente research shows. But the study also suggests that fine-tuning physician assessment of those patients with moderate aortic stenosis could help improve outcomes and better determine which patients might benefit from surgery. The study found that patients diagnosed with moderate aortic stenosis have outcomes most similar to those categorized with mild aortic stenosis while only those with moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis had outcomes similar to those with severe aortic stenosis.
