OBJECTIVE To investigate the relative efficacy of different therapeutic strategies in patients with symptomatic multivessel coronary artery disease with preserved ventricular function. The primary objectives were defined as a combination of death of cardiac origin, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and refractory angina that required revascularization, and the secondary objectives were defined...

patients and methods this was a retrospective study including 207 consecutive patients who were enrolled using computerized hepatocellular carcinoma database consisting of 105 patients who underwent combined tace with rfa, and 102 patients who underwent tace alone with long-term follow-up. results the complete remission rate was meaningfully higher in the combination group (97.1%, 102/105) than...

Abstract Produce-associated food-borne outbreaks have been increasingly implicated as the significant proportion of annual incidence illness worldwide. The objectives this study were to determine concentrations indicator bacteria and presence Salmonella spp., Shigella Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes), characterize predictors associated with contamina...

This study assessed the real-world burden of COVID-19 infection in African Union (AU) member states during first 12 months pandemic using selected epidemiological measures. Data were sourced from CDC and Our World Data,for time period spanning February 2020 to January 2021. AU classified into low, medium high based on morbidity. We conducted descriptive inferential analyses following measures: ...

Phosphorylation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) has a key role in cellular functions contributing to the malignant phenotype of tumor cells. We and others have previously demonstrated that RTK ROR1 is overexpressed in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Silencing siRNA downregulated ROR1 and induced apoptosis of CLL cells. In the present study we analysed ROR1 isoforms and the phosphorylati...

The effect of dietary starch and sucrose on the growth of foci of dysplastic crypts in the colon (FDC) was studied in female Sprague Dawley rats treated twice p.o. with 25 mg/kg of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). After DMH administration, the animals were fed high-fat (23% corn oil, w/w)/low-calcium (0.1%, w/w)/low-cellulose (2%, w/w) diets in which carbohydrates were represented by corn starch (s...

The excisional rings of the T cell receptor rearrangement (TREC) and κ-deletion element (KREC) are extrachromosomal DNA structures formed during V(D)J-recombination. A decrease in number TREC KREC below age-related values may be a manifestation immunodeficiency conditions, which can caused by oncological hematological diseases. Objective: To study change amount breast cancer. Methods. For study...

1. Spectral analysis of simultaneous ROSAT/BATSE data After the discovery of GRS 1915+105 (Castro-Tirado et al. 1992) we obtained pointed ROSAT observations every six months (12 until now). The flux in the ROSAT (0.1–2.4 keV) band is strikingly different from the simultaneous BATSE (25–50 keV) flux which was obtained by integrating the best fit power law (Fig. 1). Motivated by the different int...
