Complex, Higher-Risk, and Indicated PCI (CHIP) Fellowship

Compounding the Bleeding Reduction Effects of Transradial PCI and Bivalirudin in a High-Risk Patient Undergoing Complex PCI

High Speed Neural Network Chip on PCI-Board

A novel neural chip SAND (Simple Applicable Neural Device) is described. It is highly usable for massive parallel neural network computations. The chip is optimized for a high input data rate (50 MHz, 16 bit data) at a very low cost basis. The performance of a single SAND chip is 200 MOPS due to four parallel 16 bit multipliers and 40 bit adders working in one clock cycle. The chip is able to i...

Indicated prevention, risk and neuropsychological deficits

ion/Flexibility (Wisconsin Card SortingTest; Heaton et al, 1993) The percentage of perseverative errors was used as the central parameter. Statistical analyses Frequency counts and descriptive statistics were calculated for initial basic symptoms, observed and self-perceived psychopathology. Differences in initial psychopathology between those patients at risk who experienced a transition to ps...

A meta-analysis of indicated mental health prevention programs for at-risk higher education students.

This meta-analysis found empirical support for the effectiveness of indicated prevention programs for higher education students at risk for subsequent mental health difficulties based on their current subclinical levels of various presenting problems, such as depression, anxiety, or interpersonal difficulties. A systematic literature search identified 79 controlled published and unpublished int...

Increased urinary cystatin C indicated higher risk of cardiovascular death in a community cohort.

OBJECTIVES Urinary cystatin C (u-CysC) is a new biomarker for acute tubular kidney dysfunction and may also indicate chronic tubular dysfunction. Chronic kidney disease is an important cardiovascular risk factor, however it is not known if u-CysC is a risk marker for cardiovascular death. METHODS The association between u-CysC and cardiovascular mortality was investigated in a Swedish communi...
