BACKGROUND Some studies have shown an improvement in the prognosis of patients with essential malignant hypertension (MHT), but data about long-term outcome and prognostic factors of these patients are scarce. METHODS We performed a single-centre retrospective analysis of 197 patients with MHT, diagnosed in the period 1974-2007. RESULTS Incidence of MHT remained stable along the different p...

Microwave hydrothermal treatment (MHT) is considered a sustainable technology for the valorization of lignocellulosic materials, enabling solubilization hemicellulosic-derived compounds, especially in form oligosaccharides that may present potential chemical, pharmaceutical or nutraceutical industries. Hence, MHT at 200 and 230 °C, severity (S0) among 2.92–4.66 were performed. S0 = 3.98 permitt...

BACKGROUND The relationship between menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and cardiovascular risk remains controversial, with a number of studies advocating the use of MHT in reducing risk of cardiovascular diseases, while others have shown it to increase risk. The aim of this study was to determine the association between menopausal hormone therapy and high blood pressure. METHODS AND FINDINGS A ...

INTRODUCTION Demographic facts and forecasts about lengthening life expectancy motivate to systematize the knowledge of health problems experienced by women at the age of 50 and older. It refers to the whole health policy including health economics. Longer female life spans cause that an increasing number of women suffer from health problems associated with the perimenopausal period, and become...

The Earth's climate has experienced dramatic changes over the past 22,000 years; however, the total meridional heat transport (MHT) of the climate system remains stable. A 22,000-year-long simulation using an ocean-atmosphere coupled model shows that the changes in atmosphere and ocean MHT are significant but tend to be out of phase in most regions, mitigating the total MHT change, which helps ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance and changes of brain tissue partial pressure of oxygen (PbtO2) in the course of mild hypothermia treatment (MHT) for treating severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). METHODS There were 68 cases with sTBI undergoing MHT. PbtO2, intracranial pressure (ICP), jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2), and cerebral perfusion...

Use of estrogen or estrogen/progestin combination was an approved regimen for menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT). However, more recent patient-centered studies revealed an increase in the incidence of breast cancer in women receiving menopausal hormone therapy with estrogen plus progestin rather than estrogen alone. Tissue selective estrogen complex (TSEC) has been proposed to eliminate the prog...

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae are increasingly reported worldwide and cause therapeutic problem in health care facilities. In this study 28 imipenem-resistant K. pneumoniae were examined for expression of carbapenemases by phenotypic and genotypic methods. Modified Hodge Test (MHT), CarbaNP test were used for phenotypic detection, and PCR using specific primers for the detection of bl...

This paper describes a probabilistic mode-based multihypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithm. The modes are the local maximums refined from initial samples in a parametric state space. Because the modes are highly representative, this technique allows us to use a small number of hypotheses to effectively model non-linear probabilistic distributions. To ensure real-time tracking performance, we prop...

Observational and epidemiological studies suggest that menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) reduces cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, results from prospective trials showed neutral or adverse effects most likely due to differences in participant demographics, such as age, timing of initiation of treatment, and preexisting cardiovascular disease, which reflected in part the lack of basic s...
