Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been proposed as an important gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients evaluated for possible coronary artery disease (CAD) (Fihn et al., 2012; Montalescot et al., 2013) [1], [2]. Several meta-analyses have evaluated the accuracy of stress perfusion CMR to diagnose CAD at th...

A number of reviews have highlighted the importance of nutrition in regulating bovine reproductive efficiency (Cardoso et al., 2013; Grummer et al., 2010; Santos et al., 2010; Wiltbank et al., 2006). The effects of nutrition in the embryo donor cow have been particularly emphasized (Santos et al., 2008; Sartori et al., 2010; Sartori et al., 2013; Velazquez, 2011; Wu et al., 2013). This review w...

Climate change is affecting the tourism industry through many different mechanisms (Weaver 2011;Gössling, 2002, 2007; Berrittella et al. 2005; Hall and Higham 2005; Peeters 2005; Dubois and Ceron 2006; Becken and Hay 2007; Buckley 2008; UNWTO-UNEP-WMO 2008;Gössling et al. 2009). These include: environmental changes and human responses at tourist destinations and countries of origin (Koenig and ...

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of global cancer mortality (Jemal et al., 2011). Despite great progress in surgical technique, diagnostic method and new chemotherapy regimens, no effective targeting therapy is available for gastric cancer (Shi et al., 2010). Thus, understanding the molecular mechanism underlying gastric cancer is still needed. MicroR...

introduction selection of the clear and transparent index for the precipitation using long-term homogeneous data is an important point for the researchers. several investigations have led to different indices for heavy rainfall. in some cases the specific amount of precipitation was used for heavy rainfall (rahimzadeh, 2005; masoodian, 2008; kamiguchi et al., 2006), e.g. alijani (2002) has sugg...

Studies have shown that all mental disorders are associated with excess mortality (Lawrence et al., 2010; Roest et al., 2010; Murphy et al., 2010). Mental disorders are particularly associated with suicide, and represent 50% to 60% of the population-attributable fraction of suicide risk (Arsenault-Lapierre et al., 2004; Cavanagh et al., 2003). Yet, suicide is not the only explanation for excess...

introduction the study area is located 12km away from the north east of sarbisheh at the eastern border of the lut block (karimpour et al., 2011; richards et al., 2012). the magmatic activity in the lut blockhas begun in the middle jurassic (165-162 ma) and reached its peak in the tertiary age (jung et al., 1983; karimpour et al., 2011). volcanic and subvolcanic rocks in the tertiary age cover ...

In Response to Fakruddin et al. dicted to result in substitutions of amino acids at the and Apostolou et al. corresponding positions in the protein sequence. In each of these cases, individual tumor DNA samples possessed the same sequence as that of the corresponding cell line. We agree with many of the above findings, including To determine if the divergent sequences represented the frequency ...
