AIMS The present study was to assess the reduction of right ventricular pacing (RVP) by pacemaker algorithms of Managed Ventricular Pacing (MVP) and Search AV+ (SAV+) interval over a period of 12 months. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 385 patients indicated for a dual-chamber pacemaker (DC-PM) were enrolled in the prospective, randomized COMPARE study at 29 centres in China between June 2009 ...

BACKGROUND Donor site morbidity of pectoralis major pedicled flap (PMPF) is scarcely studied. METHODS A cross-sectional study on patients who underwent reconstructive surgery with a PMPF at least 6 months before was performed. Patients with a similar type neck dissection on both sides and PMPF on one side (n = 9) were assigned to group 1; patients with neck dissection and PMPF (n = 26) were a...

BACKGROUND Intravenous injection of narcotic stimulants affects many cellular functions relevant for the pathophysiological mechanisms of heart failure. There is considerable evidence that mast cells (MCs), TNF-alpha, and cell death play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiac arrest. In this study, we examined and compared the participation of MCs, TNF-alpha, apoptosis and...

Aim: The well-being of healthcare workers is a critical indicator in the provision high-quality care. Although researchers have stressed importance social interactions and support, scarce data exist about their effects on workers’ well-being. In this study, we aim to advance research relationships between network diversity (SND), thriving.Methods: cross-sectional design, an anonymous online lin...

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) has varying clinical (MSA-P versus MSA-C) and pathological [striatonigral degeneration (SND) versus olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA)] phenotypes. To investigate the spectrum of clinicopathological correlations, we performed a semi-quantitative pathological analysis of 100 MSA cases with well-characterized clinical phenotypes. In 24 areas, chosen from both the st...

The SND is a non-magnetic detector deployed at the VEPP-2000 e + − collider (BINP, Novosibirsk) for hadronic cross-section measurements in center of mass energy range below 2 GeV. important part hodoscopic electromagnetic calorimeter (EMC) with three layers NaI(Tl) counters. EMC signal shaping and digitizing electronics based on FADC allow us to obtain both deposition arrival time. We demonstra...

BACKGROUND The incidence and patterns of nodal spread in previously irradiated N0 necks are not well defined. Therefore, the safety and efficacy of selective neck dissection (SND) in this patient population is not well established. In a previous report from our institution, SND in irradiated patients with recurrent disease at the primary site but clinically negative necks resulted in excellent ...

In recent years, the study of soil nitrogen distribution (SND) in rocky desertification control ecosystems has increased exponentially. Rocky experiences severe environmental degradation due to its fragile nature, and understanding (SN) is critical for ecosystem services (ES) support sustainable development. From perspective bibliometrics, this paper systematically, comprehensively, qualitative...
