چکیده
A 58 year old man presented with an anterior myocardial infarction requiring repeated resuscitation. He had impaired glucose tolerance. He died five weeks later and post-mortem examination revealed a myocardial abscess and sternal osteomyelitis due to Staphylococcus aureus. These had not been apparent clinically. The possible aetiology and difficulties in diagnosis are discussed.

متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks of Intermittent Training with Quercetin Encapsulated Nanoparticles on JNK and ERK Apoptosis Regulators in the Rat Model of Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Restoration of blood flow to the ischemic heart muscle causes infarction and myocyte death. Quercetin can be effective in treating heart disease due to its antioxidant effect, but its use is limited due to its low solubility in water. Quercetin restriction can be removed by embedding it in carrier nanoparticles. The present study was designed to determine the effect of quercetin e...
