Clinical data of a 39-year-old patient with corrected transposition the great arteries, combined complete atrioventricular block and conduction along an accessory pathway, are presented. The features changes in structure system, rhythm characteristic this rare congenital heart disease discussed.

interferons (ifns) are a family of small regulatory glycoproteins that play a central role in the defense against viral infections. although ifns have been initially discovered as antiviral factors, today they are known as an integral part of the cytokine network that affect a wide range of biological processes. ifns exert their pleiotropic effects through their multisubunit cell surface recept...

background: in the era of well-developed site-specific treatment strategies in cancer, identification of occult primary is of paramount importance in cup patients. furthermore, exact determination of the extent of the disease may help in optimizing treatment planning. the aim of the present study was to investigate additional value of f-18 fdg pet/ct in patients with cancer of unknown primary (...

gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (gca)is one of the few malignancies with unexplained reasons that have increased sharply in developed countries. the purpose of this review was to determine the pathways in gca to identify new biomarker. so by comparing gene expression in gca group with normal control identified important pathways. gene expression data were extracted from the beforehand investigati...

BACKGROUND Randomized controlled trials, evidence-based medicine, clinical guidelines, and total quality management are some of the approaches used to render science-based health care services. The clinical pathway for hospitalized patients suffering from acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is poorly established, although a clinical pathway is an integral part ...

Introduction: Diagnosis lies at the heart of general practice.Every day general practitioners (GPs) visit patients with awide variety of complaints and concerns, with often minor butsometimes serious symptoms. General practice has many featureswhich differentiate it from specialty care setting, but during thelast four decades little attention was paid to clinical reasoningin general practice. T...

  Introduction : The aim of this study is to obtain new insight into possible relation between functional properties of slow concealed pathway and rate-dependent properties of AV-node.   Methods : Rate-dependent nodal properties of recovery, facilitation, and fatigue were characterized by stimulation protocols in one groups of (N=7) isolated superfused AV-Nodal rabbits. Small miniature lesions ...

The effectiveness of the clinical pathway for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was evaluated, and the efficiency of medical care was analyzed. The duration of hospitalization and the number of National Health Insurance (NHI) points for medical service fees were compared between 86 patients treated after introduction of the clinical pathway (pathway group) and 56 patients treated before introduction...
