Our previous study showed that the patients with more metabolic risk factors had higher risk of high ankle-brachial index (ABI), but the relationship between high ABI and the risk of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is still under debate. This study aims to evaluate this association in the general population. 1486 subjects of South China were recruited in the study. 61 subject...

impact on Ibn Tufayl's forerunners, especially Avicenna, whom Ibn Tufayl quotes expressly. Salim Kemal's 'Justifications of poetic validity' gives a very condensed summary of his monograph The poetics ofAlfarabi and Avicenna (Leiden, 1991). But I doubt whether Ibn Tufayl's novel kind of thought experiment can be grasped in terms of Avicenna's poetology. The medieval Latin translators did not co...

The understanding of the Shia groups majority is considered too literal as ideology that caliph after Prophet Muhammad ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, which has an indirect impact on rejection his controversial exegesis, including al-Mi>za>n fi> Tafsi>r al-Qur’a>n written by Thabathabai. Thabathabai's credibility in al-Mizan still often doubted for its validity to be used a reference Qur'an ...

Abl-interactor (Abi) proteins are targets of Abl-family nonreceptor tyrosine kinases and are required for Rac-dependent cytoskeletal reorganization in response to growth factor stimulation. We asked if the expression, phosphorylation, and cellular localization of Abi-1 and Abi-2 supports a role for these proteins in Abl signaling in the developing and adult mouse nervous system. In mid- to late...

BACKGROUND The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a noninvasive method to evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). ABI <0.9 diagnoses PAD; ABI >1.3 is a false negative caused by noncompressible arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between ABI with vascular calcifications (VC) and with mortality, in haemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS We studied 219 HD patients (60% male...

objectives: this paper reviews the current literature on acquired brain injury (abi) with a focus on abi burden, importance of community integration, and community integration definitions suggested by the literature. methods: literature review results: acquired brain injury (abi) is referred to a diverse range of disabilities resulted of injury in different parts of the brain. people with abi a...

The authors aimed to determine differences in the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and its associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, using different methods of calculating the ankle-brachial index (ABI). Using measurements taken in the bilateral brachial, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial arteries, the authors calculated ABI in 3 ways: 1) with the lowest ank...
