Purpose: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is an important parameter that reflects insulin resistance and its use has increased recently. Its relationship with cardiovascular diseases been shown in previous studies. Our aim was to investigate the association of residual SYNTAX score (rSS) TyG patients ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary...

On 9 th of March 1500, Portuguese expeditionary team of thirteen ships, after departing Lisbon, discovered Brazil soon on 22 nd of April 1500. Brazil was then called “Terra de Santa Cruz” and was announced a Portuguese colony. As the Portuguese colonists began plundering with the cutting Brazilwood, the word “Brazil” gradually replaced “Terra de Santa Cruz” and became the name of the nation up ...

These notes show how observers can set up a coordinate system and measure the spacetime geometry using clocks and lasers. The approach is similar to that of special relativity, but the reader must not be misled. Spacetime diagrams with rectilinear axes do not imply flat spacetime any more than flat maps imply a flat earth. Cartography provides an excellent starting point for understanding the m...

We report simultaneous H110α and H 2 CO line observations with the NRAO Green Bank Telescope toward 72 H II regions in the SPITZER/GLIMPSE survey area (|l| = 10 • − 65 • and |b| ≤ 1 •). We used the H110α line to establish the velocity of the H II regions and H 2 CO absorption lines to distinguish between near and far distances. Accurate distances are crucial for the determination of physical pr...

Variations in diurnal tidal stress due to Europa’s eccentric orbit have been considered as the driver of strike-slip motion along pre-existing faults, but obliquity and physical libration have not been taken into account. The first objective of this work is to examine the effects of obliquity on the predicted global pattern of fault slip directions based on a tidal-tectonic formation model. Our...

The basic form of drifting sub-pulses is that of a periodicity whose phase depends (approximately linearly) on both pulse longitude and pulse number. As such, we argue that the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the longitude-time data (called the Two-Dimensional Fluctuation Spectrum; 2DFS) presents an ideal basis for studies of this phenomenon. We examine the 2DFS of a pulsar signal synthesi...

A new analysis of the published long-term photometric observations has revealed permanent active-longitude structures in four RS CVn stars: EI Eri, II Peg, σ Gem, and HR 7275. Two active longitudes separated by half of the period are found to dominate on the surface during all available seasons. The positions of the longitudes on three stars (EI Eri, II Peg, HR 7275) are migrating in the orbita...
