more major coronary arteries determined by preoperative coronary arteriography and relatively stable and disabling (New York Heart Association Functional Class III and IV) angina pectoris. During the total observation period there were 35 deaths: 18 early and 17 late. The over-all 4-year survival rate by life-table methods was 89%, and it differed among patients with one-vessel involvement (96%...

Parent involvement (PI) in school is associated with more positive academic performance and social competence in children. However, there are inadequacies in current measures of PI and a need for a better understanding of predictors of PI. In this study, measures were obtained from a normative sample of 387 children in kindergarten and first grade from high-risk neighborhoods in 4 different sit...

  Background :In addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (MI), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting MI. Many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the ST segment deviations in Electrocardiogram (ECG).Additional posterior and right precor...

The prognosis for 449 young men with normal, mildly abnormal, and obstructive arteriograms with and without internal mammary artery implants was studied. Prognosis for patients with normal arteriograms was good in regard to incidence of infarction and mortality. In 30 patients with mildly abnormal arteriograms there appeared to be a relatively higher incidence of myocardial infarction, although...

the balance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant activity has an important role in oxidative stress associated diseases including coronary artery disease. in this study, the prooxidant-antioxidant balance (pab) and its correlations with serum lipid levels, uric acid levels, and severity of coronary artery involvement were examined. the aim of this study was to determine th...

Behcet`s disease is characterized by small vessel vasculitis and involvement of multiple systems. In neuro-Behcet cases, spinal cord involvement is approximately 10-18%. Spinal cord lesions are often associated with cerebral or brainstem lesions, and isolated spinal cord involvement in Behcet`s disease is very rare. Here, we report a case with an isolated lesion of the cervical spine.
