AIMS Lipoproteins and lipids, especially lipoprotein(a), have been studied as risk factors for restenosis after coronary angioplasty with conflicting results. We investigated the association between serum levels of lipoprotein(a) apolipoprotein A-1, apolipoprotein B-100, total-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, and coronary luminal loss and restenosis after angiop...

physical properties are often required for designing post harvest handling and processing equipment for agricultural products. persimmon (khormandy cultivar) is rich in vitamin a, calcium, potassium, tannic acid and antioxidant phenolic compounds. in this study changes in the physical properties of persimmon fruit during storage were studied. properties such as fruit dimensions, mass, geometric...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the angiographic and coronary flow velocity parameters that best correlate with the results of stress myocardial perfusion imaging. DESIGN Criterion standard. SETTING Tertiary care center. PATIENTS Forty-eight patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography for angina or silent ischemia. INTERVENTIONS We performed angiographic and coronary flow velocity m...

Abstract The objective of this work was to measure the tooth root canals’ diameter, remnant dentin thickness, endodontic post distance, and resin-matrix cement layer after three types canal shaping. Thirty extracted human premolars were endodontically treated groups specimens divided according cementation with two different posts as follow: A) Fibio Fiberglass Post™, Anthogyr, France; B) multi-...

Concerns have been renewed regarding the possible long-term effects of elevated circulating levels of cobalt and chromium as a direct result of implantation of large femoral head diameter metal-on-metal bearings. In order to establish whether metal ion levels remain persistently elevated, we compared metal ion levels before and after revision surgery in patients with large head diameter (greate...

The aim of this study was to evaluate an automatic, deep learning based method (Augmented Radiology for Vascular Aneurysm [ARVA]), detect and assess maximum aortic diameter, providing cross sectional outer wall measurements. Accurate external diameter measurement is performed along the entire aorta, from ascending aorta iliac bifurcations, on both pre- post-operative contrast enhanced computed ...
