introduction: previous studies have shown that various factors such as emotional stress can trigger of mi in susceptible persons. more studies are needed to evaluate the characteristics of patients regarding to emotional stress, heavy work, routine activity, infection or rest before occurrence of mi. methods: we studied 608 consecutive hospitalized in ccus from may 2000 to october 2001. for pat...

Background: Despite some evidences about protective or triggering role of opium use in patients with coronary artery disease, the exact role of opium is still under question. The current study aimed to address the relation of opium dependence on the severity and extension of myocardial infarction (MI) and its related mortality. Methods: The study population consisted of 460 consecutive patients...

60 GHz millimeter-wave networks represent the next frontier in high-speed wireless access technologies. Due to the use of highly directional and electronically steerable beams, the performance of 60 GHz networks becomes a sensitive function of environment structure and reflectivity, which cannot be handled by existing networking paradigms. In this paper, we propose E-Mi, a framework that harnes...

BACKGROUND The spiro- indole-pyrrolidine ring system is a frequently encountered structural motif in many biologically important and pharmacologically relevant alkaloids. The derivatives of spirooxindole ring systems are used as antimicrobial, antitumour agents and as inhibitors of the human NKI receptor besides being found in a number of alkaloids like horsifiline, spirotryprostatin and (+) el...

Thcrc is good evidence that pyruvate and lactate are important sources of cncrgy for the intact heart. Early studies by Himwich cl al. (1) in the> open chest dog and by McGinty and Miller (2) in the heart-lung preparation showed that lactate was removed from the coronary blood during its perfusion of the myocardium. Subsequent studies by Braun-Menendez et al. (3) with the isolated circulating h...
