Prolonged heart-rate adjusted QT intervals on the electrocardiogram (ECG) are associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease and sudden death. However, the diagnosis of the prolonged QT interval is hampered by lack of standards.

In contrast, for bone infections and mediastinitis, MRSA may increase the risk of death. The complete results of sta...

How TriC Folds Tricky Proteins
