Aim of the work: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bolus only intra coronary platelet glycoprotein GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists combined with thrombus-aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patient and Methods: 25 consecutive STEMI patients treated by primary PCI including thrombus aspiration were prospectively ...

It is uncommon that fertility is preserved in young nulliparous females with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS). Therefore, successful pregnancy following such conservative management has been rarely reported in previous literature. A 25-year-old female (gravida, 0; para, 0) underwent hysteroscopic surgery and was pathologically diagnosed with an endometrial stromal nodule. The patient...

Studies conducted in Europe, the USA, and Australia show that roughly a third of communityliving people aged 65 years or older fall at least once per year, with half of this number having multiple falls in this period. Falls i...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of monensin and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on ruminal metabolism in 8 fistulated steers. In Exp. 1, treatments were (DM basis): 1) 0 mg monensin/kg diet DM, 2) 22 mg monensin/kg diet DM, 3) 33 mg monensin/kg diet DM, and 4) 44 mg monensin/kg diet DM. The remainder of the diet was 10% corn silage, 60% DDGS, 10% corn, and 20...

BACKGROUND The development of postural control across the primary school time horizon is a complex process, which entails biomechanics modifications, the maturation of cognitive ability and sensorimotor organization, and the emergence of anticipatory behaviour. Postural stability in upright stance has been thus object of a multiplicity of studies to better characterize postural control in this ...

We investigate the broadband optical emission of diffuse intergalactic stars in galaxy clusters at z ∼ 0.25 by means of an image stacking technique. The images of 654 clusters, selected with the max-BCG algorithm from a subsample of the SDSS-Data Release 1 (DR1), have been stacked after masking all the sources detected down to very low S/N. The resulting images in the g, r and i bands provide r...

OBJECTIVE Sedentariness is associated with weight gain and obesity. A treadmill desk is the combination of a standing desk and a treadmill that allow employees to work while walking at low speed. DESIGN AND METHODS The hypothesis was that a 1-year intervention with treadmill desks is associated with an increase in employee daily physical activity (summation of all activity per minute) and a d...

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is prevalent among military servicemembers and has been linked to occupational load carriage. Lower extremity injury risk two times higher in female recruits. Effects of ambulation strategy (walk vs. run) on knee kinematics are known, however effects arthrokinematics during high-velocity walking (force march) unknown. Analyzing biomechanics a loaded march essential unde...
