OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores in predicting mortality at 6 months for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to investigate how it might be improved. METHODS Data were obtained on 481 849 patients with acute coronary syndrome admitted to UK hospitals between January 2003 and June 2013 from the Myocardial Ischa...

Background: Chest pain is the most common reason for patients to be referred to the emergency department of hospitals. This study was performed to compare the GRACE and TIMI scores in predicting important cardiovascular events in patients. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 862 cardiac patients who were referred to the emergency department of Taleghani Hospital in Urmi...

Spencer Smith In the mid–second century AD a well-educated, Latin-speaking North African named Lucius Apuleius composed an extended prose narrative that explores some of the foundational themes of the western intellectual tradition: the place of the human in the world, the nature of social order, the quest for spiritual identity—the very nature of being itself, as well as of the divine. Much to...

The specific question faced in this essay is whether special divine revelation has received embodiment in Holy Scripture. Are the Old and New Testaments to be acknowledged, not only as containing a record of the history of such revelation, but also as being themselves the very Word of God? Do they constitute divine revelation because of their intrinsic character, altogether apart from the respo...

Time series of regional 2× 2 Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) solutions have been computed from 2003 to 2011 with a 10-day resolution by using an energy integral method over Australia (112 E–156 E; 44 S–10 S). This approach uses the dynamical orbit analysis of GRACE Level 1 measurements, and specially accurate along-track K-band range rate (KBRR) residuals with a 1 μm s−1 level o...

INTRODUCTION The GRACE and TIMI scores have been well validated for assessment of prognosis in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, their value in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) has been little studied. We aimed to assess the relationship between these scores and the extent of coronary disease. METHODS We analyzed 238 consecutive patients admitted for NSTE-A...

We present familiar principles involving objects and classes (of objects), pairing (on objects), choice (selecting elements from classes), positive classes (elements of an ultrafilter), and definable classes (definable using the preceding notions). We also postulate the existence of a divine object in the formalized sense that it lies in every definable positive class. ZFC (even extended with c...

The death of Mr. Gerald Grace took place in South Africa as the result of a singularly tragic incident on Sept. 17th. For some time the Witwatersrand had been terrorised by a band of desperadoes. Mr. Grace was travelling on the Witwatersrand reef in a motor-car resembling that in which the gang was believed to be escaping. The police challenged the car, but, according to the account in the Rand...
