'Firefighters are dying far too often and far too early': Life-saving programme launched in Greater Manchester after worrying data unveiled
A life-saving firefighter cancer monitoring programme is being launched today across Greater Manchester as part of a new UK-wide research project commissioned by the Fire Brigades Union.
The move follows research which found that instances of cancer among UK firefighters aged 35-39 is up to 323 per cent higher than in the general population in the same age category. Dave Pike, FBU Greater Manchester brigade secretary, said: "This research project is part of our fight for protections from cancers, in the memory of every firefighter we have already lost.

lifex-fiber: an open tool for myofibers generation in cardiac computational models - BMC BioinformaticsBackground Modeling the whole cardiac function involves the solution of several complex multi-physics and multi-scale models that are highly computationally demanding, which call for simpler yet accurate, high-performance computational tools. Despite the efforts made by several research groups, no software for whole-heart fully-coupled cardiac simulations in the scientific community has reached full maturity yet. Results In this work we present $$\texttt {life}^{\texttt {x}}$$ life x -fiber, an innovative tool for the generation of myocardial fibers based on Laplace-Dirichlet Rule-Based Methods, which are the essential building blocks for modeling the electrophysiological, mechanical and electromechanical cardiac function, from single-chamber to whole-heart simulations. $$\texttt {life}^{\texttt {x}}$$ life x -fiber is the first publicly released module for cardiac simulations based on $$\texttt {life}^{\texttt {x}}$$ life x , an open-source, high-performance Finite Element solver for multi-physics, multi-scale and multi-domain problems developed in the framework of the iHEART project, which aims at making in silico experiments easily reproducible and accessible to a wide community of users, including those with a background in medicine or bio-engineering. Conclusions The tool presented in this document is intended to provide the scientific community with a computational tool that incorporates general state of the art models and solvers for simulating the cardiac function within a high-performance framework that exposes a user- and developer-friendly interface. This report comes with an extensive technical and mathematical documentation to welcome new users to the core structure of $$\texttt {life}^{\texttt {x}}$$ life x -fiber and to provide them with a possible approach to include the generated cardiac fibers into more sophisticated computational pipelines. In the near future, more modules will be successively published either as pre-compiled binaries for x86-64 L
