BACKGROUND Despite advances in treatment, acute myocardial infarction (MI) is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with extensive damage and scar formation. Based on some promising preclinical studies, there is interest in the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to promote cardiac repair after acute MI. However, there is a need for a systematic r...

INTRODUCTION Age and hormonal disorders are recognized factors impacting the periodontium and the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, but as yet the relationship between these two conditions in postmenopausal (post-M) and premenopausal (pre-M) women in Poland has not been assessed. The aim of this study was to compare the periodontal status in women after myocardial infarction (MI) with wome...

Motivated by the group of Galilean transformations and subgroup which fix time zero, we introduce notion a $b$-Lie as pair $(G,H)$ where $G$ is Lie $H$ codimension-one subgroup. Such allows us to give theoretical framework for space-time initial can be seen boundary. In this framework, develop basics theory study associated canonical $b$-symplectic structure on $b$-cotangent bundle $^b {T}^\ast...

in this paper, the concept of fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) of an ordered group (resp. lattice-ordered group) is introduced and some properties, characterizations and related results are given. also, the fuzzy convex subgroup (resp. fuzzy convex lattice-ordered subgroup) generated by a fuzzy subgroup (resp. fuzzy subsemigroup) is characterized. furthermore,...

AIMS To assess left ventricular (LV) twist mechanics in patients with Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). METHODS AND RESULTS Two-dimensional strain and LV twist by speckle-tracking echocardiography was performed in 17 consecutive patients with typical TTC according to the Mayo clinic criteria [78 ± 8 years, 88% women, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 45 ± 10%], at the acute ph...

the famous primary and cyclic decomposition theorems along with the tightly related rational and jordan canonical forms are extended to linear spaces of infinite dimensions with counterexamples showing the scope of extensions.

OBJECTIVE To determine if hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis are independent risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (MI) and, if so, whether they are independent of renal function, diuretic use, metabolic syndrome, and other established risk factors. METHODS We performed multivariable logistic and instrumental variable probit regressions on data from the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention...

AIMS The aim of this study was to examine the association between long-term alcohol consumption, alcohol consumption before and after myocardial infarction (MI), and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among survivors of MI. METHODS AND RESULTS The Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) is a prospective cohort study of 51 529 US male health professionals. From 1986 to 2006, 1818 men w...
