BACKGROUND This study was designed to clarify the significance of washout rate (WR) determined from 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial scintigraphic images and the levels of cardiac enzymes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIAL/METHODS A total of 56 consecutive patients with AMI (mean age 65.8 ± 8.5 years), who underwent PCI on adm...

This paper attempts to identify the impact of food wastage on economic growth using data for 165 countries over 2014–2018 period. With help ordinary least squares (OLS) and generalized linear model (GLM), study shows that poverty GDP negatively. Poverty are positively related. Reducing can lead reduction, stimulating growth. Measures required reduce wastage, especially in middle-income with a h...

background: antibody production in patients with end-stage kidney disease impairs due to several mechanisms. there are different ways to improve response rate to hepatitis b (hb) vaccine. in this study we evaluated the effect of tetanus-diphtheria toxoid (td) vaccine on hbs antibody (ab) level while being given simultaneously with hb vaccine.  methods: we recruited 43 hemodialysis and 20 perito...

The massive, luminous Population I Wolf-Rayet stars can be considered as stars with the highest known sustained mass loss rates. Around 10% of WR stars may form carbon-rich dust in their dense and inhomogeneous winds. Though we are yet to find how dust is formed in such an extremely hostile environment, we have made substantial progress over the past decade. Here we discuss the results of recen...

is an equally efficacious alternative to urinary derived FSH, Menopur®. One differences between these products is their delivery devices; Gonal f® is provided as a multidose pen, Menopur® in vials or multidose preparation, and Bemfola® as a fixed dose pen. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of delivery device on drug wastage and associated cost. Methods: A retrospective analysis ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine if %Type I fibers and/or aerobic fitness (as peak .VO(2)) would predict Delta efficiency (DeltaEff) and Delta.VO(2)/Deltawork rate (WR) for moderate (below lactate threshold <LT) constant work rate exercise in subjects with diverse level of fitness and fiber type. METHODS Twenty-two subjects (15 male, 23 +/- 6 yr) heterogenous for fitness (pe...
