BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock is usually considered a sequela of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. There are limited prospective data on the incidence and significance of shock in non-ST-segment elevation patients. This study assessed the incidence and outcomes of cardiogenic shock developing after enrollment among patients with and without ST-segment elevation in the Global Use of Str...

We investigated the extent to which the human capacity for recognition helps to forecast political elections: We compared naïve recognition-based election forecasts computed from convenience samples of citizens’ recognition of party names to (i) standard polling forecasts computed from representative samples of citizens’ voting intentions, and to (ii) simple—and typically very accurate—wisdom-o...

Recently, Wu et al. proposed a scheme for twodimensional (2-D) direction of arrival angle estimation (DOA) for azimuth and elevation angles, using the propagator method (PM). An advantage of this method over the classical subspace based algorithms, such as ESPRIT and MUSIC, is that it does not apply any eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) to the cross spectral matrix or singular value decomposition ...

abstract: background: the c-reactive protein (crp) is a product synthesized in hepatocytes and has been reported to be up-regulated by such proinflammatory cytokines as interleukin-1 (il-1), interleukin-6 (il-6), and tumor necrosis factor (tnf). the significance of a preoperative serum elevation in crp as a predictive indicator for the malignant potential and prognosis in colorectal cancer has ...

Background: The effects of vitamin D in skeletal system, biological metabolism and immune system function are well shown. Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) and ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) are two major types of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is widely in human population and vitamin D intoxication is very rare. Case Description: The patient is 37-years old bodybuilder man who referred to emergency...

one of the important discussions in the science of principles of jurisprudence is generalization and restriction. implication of generality from proper nouns and sentences is through premises of wisdom. there are different viewpoints about generic nouns in terms of conventionality of their reference to generality or their being based . on premises of wisdom, like proper nouns and sentences. pre...
