BACKGROUND The literature lacks studies regarding the correlation between risk scores and coronary anatomy in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) OBJECTIVE: Correlate risk scores with the severity of the coronary lesion in ACS with non-ST elevation. METHODS A total of 582 patients were analyzed between July 2004 and October 2006. The correlation between TIMI risk scores and GRACE (hospital and six ...

The majority of older adults receive health care in primary care settings, yet many fail to receive the recommended standard of care for preventive services, chronic disease management, and geriatric syndromes. The Geriatric Resources for Assessment and Care of Elders (GRACE) model of primary care for low-income seniors and their primary care physicians (PCPs) was developed to improve the quali...

Our previous MMCN03 paper reported a cross-layer adaptation framework, GRACE-1, that coordinates the adaptation of CPU frequency/voltage, CPU scheduling, and application quality. GRACE-1 assumes that all application processes (or threads) are independent from each other and adapt individually. This assumption, however, is invalid for multithreaded applications that include dependent and coopera...

[1] There is increasing interest in using Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite data to remotely monitor groundwater storage variations; however, comparisons with ground-based well data are limited but necessary to validate satellite data processing, especially when the study area is close to or below the GRACE footprint. The Central Valley is a heavily irrigated region with...

BACKGROUND The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score is widely recommended for risk assessment in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Chronic hyperglycemia [hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c)] can independently predict major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with ACS. We investigated whether the prediction of MACEs with the GRACE score could be improved with the addit...

BACKGROUND In acute coronary syndrome (ACS), both the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) predict cardiovascular events. However, it is unknown how BNP compares with GRACE and how their combination performs in ACS. METHODS The authors recruited 449 consecutive ACS patients and measured admission GRACE score and bedside BNP levels. The ma...

In an attempt to solve as much of the AAAI Robot Challenge as possible, five research institutions representing academia, industry and government, integrated their research on a pair of robots named GRACE and GEORGE. This paper describes the second year effort by the GRACE team, the various techniques each participant brought to GRACE, and the integration effort itself.

Drought indicators based on model-assimilated Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) terrestrial water storage observations" (2012). NASA Publications. [1] The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) twin satellites observe time variations in Earth's gravity field which yield valuable information about changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS). GRACE is characterized by low sp...

BACKGROUND In patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), identification of the patients with high-risk coronary anatomy (HRCA) who are most likely to require coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is crucial. The SYNTAX score (SXscore) is an angiographic grading tool designed to determine the complexity of coronary artery disease. It appears that CABG offers significantl...
