    Abstract In the course of the WEXICOM project at the Hans-Ertel-Centre for Weather Research of the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), a survey was conducted in autumn 2012 to question how weather warnings are communicated to professional end-users in the emergency community and how the warnings are converted into mitigation measures.161 members of emergency services (e.g. fire fighters, police officers and civil servants) across Germany answered an online questionnaire. Questions included user's confidence in forecasts, their understanding of probabilistic information and their perception and use of uncertainty in forecasts and warnings. A large number of open questions were selected to identify new topics of interest, unknown problems, and research gaps in the field of communicating weather information in Germany.Results show that the emergency service personnel who participated in this survey generally have a good appreciation of the uncertainty of weather forecasts. Although no single probability threshold could be identified for organisations to start with preparatory mitigation measures, it became clear that emergency services tend to avoid forecast based on low probabilities as basis for their decisions.This paper suggests that when trying to enhance weather communication by reducing the uncertainty in forecasts, the focus should not only be on improving computer models and observation tools, but also on the communication aspect, as uncertainty also arises from linguistic origins. Here, improvements are also possible and thus uncertainty might be reducible.

    Abstract Objective: In the present study, we investigated the ability of the peripherally administered angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist, candesartan cilexetil, to block central effects of angiotensin II (Ang II) in conscious rats.
    Design and methods: Candesartan cilexetil was administered orally by gavage at doses of 0.1, 1, 10 and 30 mg/kg. Drinking response, pressor response and release of vasopressin into the circulation following intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) Ang II (10 or 100 ng) were measured at 0.5, 2, 4 and 24 h following the drug application. The same parameters were measured after chronic treatment with candesartan cilexetil for 1 week. In a separate experiment, the release of vasopressin induced by microinjection of Ang II (100 ng) into the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) was determined 4 h after oral administration of candesartan cilexetil (1 mg/kg) or vehicle.
    Results: Oral treatment with candesartan cilexetil inhibited all central responses to i.c.v. Ang II in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The Ang II-induced responses were inhibited 4 h after acute or chronic treatment with 0.1 mg/kg candesartan cilexetil, but had returned to control levels 24 h after drug application. In contrast, the highest dose of candesartan cilexetil (30 mg/kg) nearly abolished the central responses to Ang II for 24 h. Candesartan cilexetil completely blocked vasopressin release into the circulation induced by Ang II microinjection into the PVN.
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the AT1 receptor antagonist, candesartan cilexetil, very effectively inhibits the centrally mediated effects of Ang II upon peripheral application.

    Abstract The role of urotensin II (U-II)--a vasoactive, mitogenic, and inotropic, peptide--in the pathophysiology of heart failure is controversial. The present study explores the relationship between plasma U-II immunoreactivity (U-IIIR) and hemodynamics in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Thirty-six patients with CAD-3 undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and 36 medical patients (MED group) with CAD-1 to CAD-3 during right heart catheterization were studied. Significant correlations were observed between pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and U-IIIR--determined by enzyme immunoassay (EIA)--before (rho = 0.83) and after (rho = 0.6) cardiopulmonary bypass in the CABG group. With the exception of the CPB period, CABG patients with increased PCWP before CPB had higher U-II(IR) concentrations throughout the procedure. Significant correlations were observed between U-IIIR, proANP, proBNP, and mean right ventricular pressure (RVPM) in MED patients. No correlation was detectable between U-IIIR and PCWP. However, MED patients with CAD-3 (n = 13) had higher levels of U-IIIR, NTproANPIR (RIA), NTproBNPIR (EIA) and higher cardiac filling pressures than patients with CAD-1 (n = 13). These findings support an association between plasma U-IIIR levels and diastolic myocardial dysfunction in ischemic heart failure. The discrepancies regarding left and right cardiac filling pressures and U-IIIR levels in CABG and MED patients require further evaluation.
