INTRODUCTION The GRACE and TIMI scores have been well validated for assessment of prognosis in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, their value in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) has been little studied. We aimed to assess the relationship between these scores and the extent of coronary disease. METHODS We analyzed 238 consecutive patients admitted for NSTE-A...

The death of Mr. Gerald Grace took place in South Africa as the result of a singularly tragic incident on Sept. 17th. For some time the Witwatersrand had been terrorised by a band of desperadoes. Mr. Grace was travelling on the Witwatersrand reef in a motor-car resembling that in which the gang was believed to be escaping. The police challenged the car, but, according to the account in the Rand...

Achieving a successful long-term strategy for sustainable water resource management of the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) involves improving our understanding of the integrated hydrological system and assessing the impacts of land use and climate change upon this system. A methodology is currently being developed with the potential for addressing these issues by way of a new satellite technology sy...

The combined value of RDW and GRACE risk score for cardiovascular prognosis in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been fully investigated. This study was designed to explore the combined value of RDW and GRACE risk score on predicting long-term major adverse cardiac event (Mace) in STEMI patients undergoing prim...

In the last few yearswe havewitnessed a surge of business-to-consumer and business-to-business commerce operated on the Internet. However, most current electronic commerce systems are little more than electronic catalogues that allow a user to purchase a product under predetermined and inflexible terms and conditions. We believe that in the next few years we will see a new generation of electro...

PURPOSE To determine the predictive values of D-dimer assay, Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk scores for adverse outcome in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 234 patients (mean age: 57.2±11.7 years, 75.2% were males) hospitalized with NSTEMI were included....

AIM The aim of this paper was to investigate the value of Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk scores for risk stratification and prognosis in female patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). METHODS Non-elderly (<65 years) and elderly (≥65 years) female patients with NSTE-ACS (totally 869 cases...

[1] Ocean bottom pressure estimates from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) have been validated by comparisons with an array of in situ bottom pressure measurements. The 600 km by 600 km array comprised 46 bottom pressure sensors that were part of the Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS). Validations in other ocean regions have been limited by available data to pointwise bottom p...
