Risk Stratification in Secondary Prevention: Advances in Multimarker Profiles, or Back to Basics?

Risk stratification in secondary prevention: advances in multimarker profiles, or back to basics?

Prevention and risk management of atherosclerotic vascular disease remain major health challenges. Coronary heart disease (CHD) and other cardiovascular diseases remain the primary causes of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Improvement of risk stratification by identification of new biomarkers has been extensively investigated in both primary and secondary clinical settings in th...

Multimarker Risk Stratification in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

BACKGROUND Several biomarkers have individually been shown to be useful for risk stratification in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The optimal multimarker strategy remains undefined. METHODS AND RESULTS Biomarkers representing different pathobiological axes were studied, including myocardial stress/structural changes (NT-pro B-type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP], midregional ...

or How can supersymmetry be used in a simple quantum cosmological model* ABSTRACT The general theory of N=1 supergravity with supermatter is applied to a Bianchi type IX diagonal model. The supermatter is constituted by a complex scalar field and its spin-1 2 fermionic partners. The Lorentz invariant Ansatz for the wave function of the universe, Ψ, is taken to be as simple as possible in order ...

[Impulsivity in sexual offenders--new ideas or back to basics?].

Despite the fact that the group of sexual offenders remains a population which is still difficult to study, the results of current research are considered novel and interesting. Surprisingly, the very old descriptions applying to paraphilia, which is considered to be one of the reasons of sexual offences, appear to be accurate, especially in the context of similarities between impulsivity and p...
