background: it has been suggested that the autonomic system function and the metabolic syndrome can significantly affect patients' survival. the aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of the cardiac rehabilitation program on the autonomic system balance in patients with coronary artery disease. methods: patients with a previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease who were refer...

the worldwide prevalence of insulin resistant states such as the metabolic syndrome has grown rapidly over the past few decades. the metabolic syndrome is a constellation of common metabolic disorders that promote the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. studies in both human and animal models suggest that hepatic inflammation and insulin resistance are key initiating fact...

Two Steiner triple systems (X,A) and (X,B) are said to intersect in m pairwise disjoint blocks if |A ∩ B| = m and all blocks in A ∩ B are pairwise disjoint. For each v, we completely determine the possible values of m such that there exist two Steiner triple systems of order v intersecting in m pairwise disjoint blocks.

Let X be a smooth algebraic curve. Suppose that there exists a triple covering f : X → Y where Y is a smooth algebraic curve. In this paper, we investigate the existence of morphisms from X to the projective line P which do not factor through the covering f . For this purpose, we generalize the classical results of Maroni concerning base-point-free pencils on trigonal curves to the case of trip...

Background: Sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) are characterized by the gain or loss of entire parts sex chromosomes.Methods: In 5212 cases studied over last 10 years in Medical Genetics Department, we found 3793 (72.78%) other chromosomal establishments and 1419 (27.22%) using retrospective archive-file scanning method.Results: 839 (31.32%) with anomalies were female, 580 (22.8%) male. While T...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. The protein consists of a helix of three strands, each with sequence X-Y-Gly. Natural collagen is most stable when X is (2S)-proline (Pro) and Y is (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (4R-Hyp). We had shown previously that triple helices in which X is (2S,4S)-4-fluoroproline (4S-Flp) or Y is (2S,4R)-4-fluoroproline (4R-Flp) display hyperstability. This hyp...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the diagnostic value of triple rule-out computed tomography (CT) in patients suspected of having acute pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 125 patients with suspicion of PE, of whom 14 patients had the additional clinical suspicion of acute aortic syndrome, underwent electrocardiogram-gated t...

Up to oriented homotopy equivalence, a PD–pair (X, ∂X) with aspherical boundary components is uniquely determined by the Π1–system {κi : Π1(∂Xi, ∗) → Π1(X, ∗)}i∈J , the orientation character ωX ∈ H(X;Z/2Z) and the image of the fundamental class [X, ∂X] ∈ H3(X, ∂X;Z) under the classifying map [3]. We call the triple ({κi}i∈J , ωX , [X, ∂X]) the fundamental triple of the PD–pair (X, ∂X). Using Pe...

turner syndrome is one of the best known chromosome anomalies in human being, by an approximate incidence of 1/2500 female at birth. the cause is a chromosomal aberration, mainly with the karyotype 45, x. ninety six patients aged 6 to 26 years with short stature were studied for chromosomal anomalies. out of these 82 were phenotypically female and 14 phenotypically male. twenty seven showed abn...

Triple A (Allgrove) syndrome, an autosomal recessive disease is characterized by achalasia, alacrimia and ACTH-resistant adrenal failure with progressive neurological syndrome including central, peripheral and autonomic nervous system impairment, and mild mental retardation. The triple A syndrome gene, designated AAAS, localized on chromosome 12q 13 encodes for a 546 amino acid protein called A...
