Is gender more important and meaningful than race? An analysis of racial and gender identity among Black, White, and mixed-race children.
OBJECTIVES Social categories shape children's lives in subtle and powerful ways.

This paper explores how children evaluate the importance and meaning of their racial and gender i...
متن کاملFundamentals in clinical coronary physiology: why coronary flow is more important than coronary pressure.
Wide attention for the appropriateness of coronary stenting in stable ischaemic heart disease (IHD) has increased interest in coronary physiology to guide decision making. For many, coronary physiology equals the measurement of coronary pressure to calculate the fractional flow reserve (FFR). While accumulating evidence supports the contention that FFR-guided revascularization is superior to re...
متن کاملUnderuse of coronary revascularization procedures in patients considered appropriate candidates for revascularization.
BACKGROUND Ratings by an expert panel of the appropriateness of treatments may offer better guidance for clinical practice than the variable decisions of individual clinicians, yet there have been no prospective studies of clinical outcomes. We compared the clinical outcomes of patients treated medically after angiography with those of patients who underwent revascularization, within groups def...
متن کاملdiagnostic accuracy of coronary calcium score less than 100 in excluding coronary artery disease
conclusion we conclude that coronary calcium scoring provided useful information in the management of patients. in cacs less than 100, it has a npv of 87% in excluding significant stenosis in patients with the risk of cad but it does not have enough diagnostic accuracy for surely excluding coronary stenosis, so we should perform a combination of cacs and coronary ct angiography for patients. re...
