The Society of Vascular Surgery and the International Society of Cardiovascular Surgery identify three types of acute limb ischaemia to inform prognosis and management. Type 1 limb ischaemia is non-limb-threatening and is currently managed conservatively. We describe three cases of Type 1 limb ischaemia with femoropopliteal occlusion that were managed differently. The first case was initially m...

the results obtained in the present investigations point to a definite correlation between the onset of myocardial injury, electrocardiographic changes and biochemical changes. changes in the electrocardiogram and elevated serum levels were paralleled by an increased excretion of magnesium in urine as early as one hour. serum calcium and serum potassium levels did not show any significant resul...

this is a case of severely stunned left ventricle which occurred after a non-st elevation myocardial infarction in a 76-year-old woman who was a known case of three-vessel disease. her symptoms and cardiac function responded well to revascularization.

the important role of reperfusion therapies in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is well documented. however, reperfusion therapies can initiate inflammatory response and may damage the myocardium. the purpose of current study was to compare the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy on inflammatory markers in the setting of st elevation myocardial inf...

abstract  introduction: chest pain in unstable angina is associated with ekg changes in t-wave and st-segment, which may help diagnose the disease. based on certain references ekg changes prolonged for more than 12 hours may be suggestive of non-q myocardial infarction. this study was conducted to assess the mean duration of ekg changes in patients with unstable angina. methods: this cross-sect...

Methods Breath-held 2D native T1 maps (8 TIs with 2 Look-Locker cycles of 3+5 images; minimum TI = 120ms; TI increment = 80 ms; flip angle = 35°; bandwidth = 1085 Hz/pixel; voxel size = 1.5x1.5x8mm) and LGE images (IR-prepared FLASH; optimal TI to null remote myocardium; TR/TE = 6.54/3.27ms; flip angle = 20°; bandwidth = 460 Hz/pixel; voxel size = 1.2x1.2x8mm) were acquired in patients with pri...

We propose a hybrid time difference of arrival (TDOA) / angle of arrival (AOA) method for indoor positioning systems. The combined AOA includes both the azimuth AOA (A-AOA) and elevation AOA (E-AOA). Thus, this method makes full use of the AOA information to minimize the errors due to estimation of multipath parameters and gives the position of the estimated mobile terminals by simultaneously r...
