Background—We compared the outcomes in propensity score-matched high-risk patients (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation [EuroSCORE] 5) undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery using bilateral or single skeletonized internal thoracic artery (ITA). Methods and Results—Of 794 consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery (788 by the...

The amount and annual distribution of rainfall caused a major socioeconomic environmental problem where rainfed agriculture is predominant. This study assessed the long-term variability trends in Wabi Shebele River Basin (WSRB), Ethiopia. basin was discretized into 9 local agroclimatic zones (ACZ) based on elevation. coefficient variation (CV) used to check while modified Mann-Kendall (MK) Inno...

International technical assistance (ITA) is gaining more and importance in the international economy. becomes an integral element of economic system, a significant factor influencing its development. The article identifies factors affecting effectiveness assistance. external influence include: adequacy volume urgency providing assistance; increasing transparency awareness programs; conducting j...

Introduction: Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) are a rare but devastating complication after median sternotomy. Minor perfusion in bone and soft tissue, especially after recruiting the internal mammary artery for bypass supports the development of wound infection and nonunion of the sternal bone. The aim of the study was the macroscopic and radiological presentation of the vascular system s...

In this study, trend analyses of six climatic variables (mean, minimum, and maximum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, precipitation) for 1966-2020 are conducted the Southeastern Anatolia Region, which is main focus integrated development project in Turkey (Turkish acronym GAP). The trends seasonal annual periods determined using Mann-Kendall (MK) test, Sen's slope method regression us...

In this study a multi block procedure is implemented to solve accurately two-dimensional transient Inverse Heat Conduction Problems (IHCPs). The multi block method is implemented for geometric decomposition of physical domain into regions with blocked-interface structured grids. The Finite Element Method (FEM) with Galerkin weighting function is employed for direct solution of transient heat co...

A Bayesian technique with analyses of within-person processes at the level of the individual is presented. The approach is used to examine whether the patterns of within-person responses on a 12-trial simulation task are consistent with the predictions of ITA theory (Dweck, 1999). ITA theory states that the performance of an individual with an entity theory of ability is more likely to spiral d...
