We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the spin-symmetry violating universal function χ2(v · v′), which appears at order 1/mQ in the heavy quark expansion of meson form factors. This function vanishes in the standard approximation, where radiative effects are neglected. For the first time, the complete set of diagrams arising at order αs is evaluated. In particular, we find χ2(1) = −(3.8± 0.4...

We investigate a modification in the action of inflaton due to noncommutativity leads to a nonstandard initial vacuum and oscillatory corrections in the initial power spectrum. We show that the presence of these oscillations causes a drop in the WMAP χ2 about ∆χ2 ∼ 8.5. We also show that this nonstandard initial vacuum state can provide a rolling in cosmological constant. As a bonus, from the p...

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this single-centre, prospective, comparative study was to evaluate the pattern and severity brain structural changes in patients with resistant hypertension based on MRI assessments their one year after renal denervation. Material methods comprised 58 (RH), aged 52.1±9.1 years, who underwent denervation (RDN) according good clinical practice guidelines. Patients ...

In the study, it was aimed to determine coping methods used by health school students for dysmenorrhea management. The population of cross-sectional and descriptive study consisted midwifery (N=280) studying at a public university. Volunteer (n=240) participants who met sampling criteria were recruited.Data collected with Descriptive Information Form, VAScale, Menstrual Symptom Severity Scale (...

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the most significant route HIV infection in children. Over 90% infections children are acquired through mother-to-child route. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness prevention mother child (PMTCT) interventions. It employed a retrospective approach. Records positive pregnant women who registered and received ANC b...

The Aim. current study evaluates the possibility of using C646G polymorphic variant NR3C1 gene (rs41423247) for personalized administration combination therapy with inhaled glucocorticosteroids (iGCs) and long-acting β2-agonists in patients asthma/COPD overlap (ACO) without obesity.Material methods. Forty ACO were included (17 BMI < 30 23 obesity (BMI ≥ 30) to received combined treatment use...

Abstract Background LV volumes and LVEF measured by 3DE are more accurate repeatable than those calculated with 2DE. However, the added prognostic value of EF remains to be clarified. Objectives To analyze if left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) have an incremental over measurements obtained from two-dimensional (2DE) in patients referred a high-...
