Residual vein thrombosis (RVT) indicates a prothrombotic state and is useful for evaluating the optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment (OAT). Patients with a first episode of deep vein thrombosis, treated with OAT for 3 months, were managed according to RVT findings. Those with RVT were randomized to either stop or continue anticoagulants for 9 additional months, whereas in those with...

Background and Objectives:Resveratrol (RVT) is a polyphenolic phytoalexin, and it has been demonstrated to be capable of protecting against cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to identify whether RVT might protect against monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension and whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and inducible...

Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is one of the more common forms of neonatal thrombosis accounting for 15-20% of systemic thromboembolism[1,2]. A median age at presentation of 2-3 days have been reported [1,3], with unilateral and bilateral involvement of renal vein in 89-72% and 28-11% of cases, respectively[4,5]. The clinical presentation of RVT consists of increased kidney size, macroor microhema...

BACKGROUND The cardiovascular benefits of Resveratrol (RVT) have been well established by previous experimental and clinical studies. AIMS The goal of this study was to test the effectiveness of RVT administration on the impaired endothelial function induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to elucidate the role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) pathway. STUDY DE...

Introduction Physiological processes introduce noise into the BOLD fMRI time series, thereby interfering with studies of neural activation and connectivity. One major source of physiological noise can be traced to subtle variations in respiration depth and rate[1]. It has been shown that one can model and reduce such effects by (1) computing a breath-to-breath measure of respiratory variation (...

The incidence of renal vein thrombosis (RVT) and other thrombo-embolic phenomena was evaluated in 44 unselected patients with nephrotic syndrome. Renal vein thrombosis was demonstrated by selective renal venography in 10 patients and at post-mortem in one. Extension of the thrombus from the renal veins into the inferior vena cava was seen in 3 patients. Evidence of thrombo-embolism elsewhere in...

The effects of protein supplementation on cycling performance, skeletal muscle function, and heart rate responses to exercise were examined following intensified (ICT) and reduced-volume training (RVT). Seven cyclists performed consecutive periods of normal training (NT), ICT (10 days; average training duration 220% of NT), and RVT (10 days; training duration 66% of NT). In a crossover design, ...

A post hoc analysis from the phase 3 CheckMate 816 study showed that residual viable tumor (RVT) in primary (PT) was associated with event-free survival (EFS) N + C (2y EFS rates: 90%, 60%, 57%, and 39% patients [pts] 0–5, > 5–30, 30–80, 80% RVT). Here, we report analyses pts or without (w/o) pathologic evidence of lymph node involvement (LN-I). Adults resectable NSCLC were randomized to receiv...

Constant-stress procedure based on parametric lifetime distribution and model is often used for accelerated life testing in product reliability experiment. Maximum likelihood estimation is the typically statistical inference method. This paper presents a new inference method, named random variable transformation (RVT) method for Weibull constant-stress accelerated life test with progressively T...
