BACKGROUND Second-generation drug eluting stents (DES) may reduce costs and improve clinical outcomes compared to first-generation DES with improved cost-effectiveness when compared to bare metal stents (BMS). We aimed to conduct an economic evaluation of a cobalt-chromium everolimus eluting stent (Co-Cr EES) compared with BMS in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OBJECTIVE To conduct ...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to demonstrate that arterial stiffness is probably underestimated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) at rest and may be revealed with moderate exercise. BACKGROUND HFpEF is associated with ventriculoarterial stiffening. METHODS We compared 23 patients with stable chronic HFpEF, left ventricular ejection fraction >45%, and imp...

BACKGROUND Everolimus, an active immunosuppressive and antiproliferative agent of the same family as sirolimus (rapamycin), has demonstrated significant reduction of neointimal proliferation in animal studies. The First Use To Underscore restenosis Reduction with Everolimus (FUTURE) I trial was the first in-human experience to evaluate the safety and efficacy of everolimus-eluting stents (EES),...

Ewing's sarcoma, a small round cell sarcoma arising in soft tissue as well as the bone, is one of the most malignant tumors in children and young adults. Few established cell lines of extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) have been reported, which made it difficult to examine the biological features of EES. Therefore, we have established a new clonal cell line of EES. We report its morphological ...

• Existing measurement techniques examining entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) have largely failed to yield sufficiently nuanced insights. This paper offers a novel data-driven methodological framework for EEs. It draws on “real-time” data extracted from digital meetup platform undertake social network analysis within the Edinburgh EE. approach provides policy makers with vital “strategic intelli...

Background: In certain conditions, there is a need for a specific and improved measure of cardiac performance.  Routine methods for assessing left ventricular (LV) function are based on image-analysis or right heart monitoring which do not allow evaluation of ventriculo-arterial interaction. Chen et al presented a noninvasive method allowing measurement of end-systolic pressure–volume relation ...

Despite the progress made by scholars, empirically investigating entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) remains problematic because of inherent complexities and nonlinearities interactions among EE actors. The research to date has shown a tendency focus on macrolevel ecosystem dynamics while neglecting microfoundations EEs. We contend that this negligence is due lack appropriate methodologies can cap...

U članku se opisuju rezultati statičkih analiza (izmjenični tokovi snaga, analize sigurnosti prema n-1 kriteriju) priključka generatora HE Zakučac na EES (prijenosnu mrežu) nakon rekonstrukcije, modernizacije i obnove hidroelektrane koja priprema. Analize su provedene u više mogućih varijanti pojedine naponske razine (220 kV 110 kV). Rješenje promatrano je s aspekta plasmana proizvodnje mrežu t...
