Outcome of CABG in Patients Aged More Than 50 Years

Method: Sixty-one patients were included in the study, aged 14 and 89 years old. Forty-four patients were more than 50 years old and 17 young patients. All the patients had Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) from January 2009 to August 2010. Severity, risk factors, type of procedure, co-morbidities, recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and laboratory analysis were documented. Number ...

Fatigue and Remaining Life Assessment of Steel Bridges More than 50 Years Old

The present bridge network in Quebec includes approximately 9000 bridges of different types and represents a 9 billion dollars asset. Many bridges show signs of deterioration well before the end of the design life, supposedly between 50 to 100 years. Truck loading has increased by more than 40% in the past 40 years, and bridges have not been reinforced in order to comply with the new codes. The...

The first reported case of California encephalitis in more than 50 years.

A recent case of California encephalitis, a rare mosquito-borne viral disease, represents only the fourth ever reported and the first since the initial three cases in 1945. This case was diagnosed retrospectively on the basis of a rise in antibody titer between acute- and convalescent-phase serum samples.

Influenza-attributable mortality in Australians aged more than 50 years: a comparison of different modelling approaches.

This study aimed to compare systematically approaches to estimating influenza-attributable mortality in older Australians. Using monthly age-specific death data together with viral surveillance counts for influenza and respiratory syncytial virus, we explored two of the most frequently used methods of estimating excess influenza-attributable disease: Poisson and Serfling regression models. Thes...
