renal dysfunction is a risk marker in patients who candidate for coronary artery bypass graft (cabg). renal disorder is associated with prolonged stays in intensive care unit and hospital, morbidity and mortality. aim of this study is specific evaluation of association between preoperative creatinine (cr) with atrial fibrillation (af) after elective off-pump cabg in non-diabetic male patients w...

Famous non-Fermi liquid-like behaviors of the transport phenomena in high-Tc cuprates (RH, ∆ρ/ρ , S, ν , etc) are caused by the current vertex corrections in neary antiferromagnetic (AF) Fermi liquid, which was called the backflow by Landau. We present a simple explaination why the backflow is prominent in strongly correlated systems. In nearly AF Fermi liquid, RH is enhanced by the backflow be...

There is increasing awareness that management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its complications (particularly strokes) constitutes an important burden for health care systems and a major clinical challenge. AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and detailed knowledge of its epidemiology is important both for provision of adequate care and for resource allocation. Available epidemiological...

the effects of aflatoxin (af) (0.0 and 0.5m g kg-1) and high grade sodium bentonite (hgsb) (5, 7.5 and 10 g kg-1) were tested in an in vivo study including 8 dietary treatments with three replicates of 14 birds per diet per replicate, using a total of 336 broiler chicks up to five weeks. results showed that chicks receiving af contaminated feed had significantly (p≤ 0.05) suppressed body weight...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) as a severe arrhythmia is now spreading worldwide at overwhelmingly high rates, particularly in elderly patients. Despite new insights, the mechanisms underlying AF are not conclusively determined yet. Taking into account the ischemic origin of arrhythmia induction (according to the so-called conflictogenic atrial fibrillation, declared recently) restoration of regional...

p. (x) l. 5, “Chapter 4” should read “Chapter 6”. p. 24–25: As it stands, the proof of Lemma 2.2.3 is wrong, because ψ is not necessarily surjective. However, if P is a finitely generated projective module, then the proof works. So at the beginning of the section, one should make the further observation that P = F ′(ΓΓ) is a finitely generated projective module. This is because among all projec...

In the past decade, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved as one of the most frequently performed procedures in tertiary arrhythmia centers worldwide. With the observation of the actively firing trigger originating from within the pulmonary veins (PVs), ablation strategies have focused at least in paroxysmal AF patients on complete isolation of the PVs. Several different abl...

background: new-onset atrial fibrillation (af) after cardiac surgery contributes to increased morbidity, hospital length of stay, and resource utilization. although many aspects of af after cardiac surgery have already been elucidated, the mechanism by which cardiac surgery predisposes patients to af has hitherto remained unknown. recent evidence supports the notion that blood transfusion enhan...
