Objective: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidental prevalence heterotopic soft tissue calcifications in neck region, on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images, and their relationship with age sex.
 Methods: A total 6620 CBCT images were examined. 503 patients aged between 20 86 years included study. Patients grouped into five groups: 20-30 (N = 132), 31-40...

BACKGROUND The extent to which guidelines for the treatment of heart failure are currently followed in primary care in the UK is unclear. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of heart failure and the pharmacological management of heart failure in relation to European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines. METHODS Retrospective cohor...

Glycoproteins which contain about 45 mol% proline were dramatically induced in mouse parotid and submandibular glands by isoproterenol treatment, but these unusual proteins were not detected in control animals. These acid-soluble substances were obtained by extracting tissues with 10% trichloroacetic acid, as reported previously for isolating proline-rich proteins from rat submandibular glands ...

Significant recent interest has focussed on improving outcomes after emergency laparotomy. This retrospective database analysis estimated the annual incidence and associated inpatient costs of emergency laparotomy in England. Demographic, process and outcome data were collected for all patients undergoing emergency laparotomy in Brighton for two calendar years (2009-2010). Cost analysis assumed...

Activation of efferent renal sympathetic nerve activity (ERSNA) increases afferent renal nerve activity (ARNA), leading to decreases in ERSNA by activation of the renorenal reflexes in the overall goal of maintaining low ERSNA. The renorenal reflex responses to various stimuli are impaired in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Because renal tissue density of α(2)-adrenoceptors (ARs) is incr...

We perform a Bayesian analysis of the maximum mass $M_{\rm TOV}$ neutron stars with quark core, incorporating observational data from tidal deformability GW170817 binary star merger as detected by LIGO/Virgo and radius PSR J0030+0451 \nicer. The is performed under assumption that hadron-quark phase transition first order, where low-density hadronic matter described in unified manner soft QMF or...

The range of the U bosonic coupling constants in neutron star matter is a very interesting but still unsolved problem which has multifaceted influences nuclear physics, particle astrophysics and cosmology. combination theoretical numerical simulation recent observations provides good opportunity to solve this problem. In present work, inferred based on three relations mass-radius, mass-frequenc...

We present a novel relativistic density-functional approach to modeling quark matter with mechanism mimic confinement. The quasiparticle treatment of quarks provides their suppression due large selfenergy already at the mean-field level. demonstrate that our is equivalent chiral model medium-dependent couplings. dynamical restoration symmetry ensured by construction density functional. Beyond m...

The existence of massive compact stars ( M ? 2.1 ? ) implies that the speed sound exceeds conformal limit c s 2 = 1/3 × squared light in vacuum) if those have an inner and outer crust ordinary nuclear matter. Here, we show most objects are strange quark stars, namely, entirely composed quarks, can assume values below even while observational limits on also satisfied. By using astrophysical data...

Abstract We study the thermodynamic properties of asymmetric quark matter and large mass stars within confined-isospin-density-dependent-quark-mass model. find that symmetry energy should be very in order to describe recent discovered heavy compact PSR J0348+0432 ( $$\text {2.01}\pm \text {0.04}M_{\odot }$$ 2.01</mm...
