BACKGROUND The uptake of F-18 deoxyglucose into dysfunction segments after myocardial infarction identifies metabolically active (FDG+) or inactive (FDG-) myocardium. Although patients with FDG+ have been found to be at risk for adverse events, the prognostic significance viable myocardium in relation other influences on postinfarction prognosis, including revascularization, remain ill defined. purpose this study was investigate relative tissue and establish whether revascularization...
Abstract High-resolution ultrasonography was used to classify carotid plaques into five different types in 72 patients with symptoms and 49 without, stenosis of the origin internal artery < 70 per cent. There were symptomatic group 75 asymptomatic group. Type 1 uniformly echolucent, type 2 predominantly 3 echogenic, 4 echogenic 5 consisted that could not be classified owing heavy calcification acoustic shadows. Plaque found 90 cent 10 those plaque 53 47 cent, 34 66 95 respectively....
Background The HeartMate left ventricular assist device has been successfully used as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. Because many patients exhibit marked clinical improvement in their heart failure after implantation, we studied the physiological effect of this on neurohormonal axis. Methods and Results In 13 awaiting transplant (mean index, 1.7±0.3 L · min −1 m −2 ) who underwent venous atrial natriuretic peptide, epinephrine, norepinephrine, plasma renin activity, angiotensin,...
Abstract Background Wire localization is historically the most common method for guiding excision of non-palpable breast lesions, but there are limitations to technique. Newer technologies such as magnetic seeds may allow some these challenges be overcome. The aim was compare safety and effectiveness wire seed techniques. Methods Women undergoing standard or lesions between August 2018 2020 were recruited prospectively this IDEAL stage 2a/2b platform cohort study. primary outcome defined...
Congestive heart failure is associated with blood volume expansion caused by stimulation of the renin-aldosterone system and arginine vasopressin. The use left ventricular assist devices as bridges to transplantation has improved survival patients during this critical period. In studying physiology on support devices, we hypothesized that improvement cardiac function a device normalization load secondary its regulatory substances.We studied 15 (13 men, 2 women: age 51 +/- 8 years) end-stage...
Acute cardiac rejection involves myocyte necrosis. Hence, markers of death may be useful in diagnosing rejection. Creatine kinase MB, MB isoforms, and troponins I T were measured 186 patients undergoing 365 endomyocardial biopsies. No differences noted with (rejectors vs. nonrejectors: CK=63.8 U/L 86.6 U/L, P=0.0881; CK MB=2.04 ng/ml 2.06 ng/ml, P=0.949; troponin T=0.134 0.0881 P=0.374; I=0.216 0.707 P=0.357). The time course levels rejectors nonrejectors do not differ both groups having...
This article describes a process for linking job analysis data to test specifications. Rasch rating scale is used order the ratings of importance assigned task and content items by practicing laboratory managers. ordering produces variables representing range from most least important. The also provide an objective frame reference review experts. calibrations each item are transformed percentages based on useful limits. From percentages, specifications reflecting practice patterns in field...
