Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Recent guidelines recommend centralisation post-resuscitation care in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients dedicated Cardiac Arrest Centres (CACs) aiming to improve outcome. Purpose To describe the process implementation policy and impact on 30-day mortality rate. Methods This nationwide study included all adu...

BACKGROUND Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) is mainly found in the skeletal system and vascular smooth muscle cells. Recent researches showed that it had a protective function on blood vessels and could also inhibit vascular calcification. We investigated the serum COMPs in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, and the relationship between serum COMP and the calcification of coronary...

RATIONALE Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) suffer from significantly more cardiovascular comorbidity and mortality than would be anticipated from conventional risk factors. The aim of this study was to determine whether COPD patients have a higher coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and epicardial fat burden, compared to control subjects, and their association with ca...

Cell adhesion complexes (CACs), which are activated by ligand binding, play key roles in many cellular functions ranging from cell cycle regulation to mediation of cell extracellular matrix adhesion. Inspired by single molecule pulling experiments using atomic force spectroscopy on leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), expressed in T-cells, bound to intercellular adhesion molecules (...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risks of diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the controversial inclusion of established diabetes in MetS, the association between MetS and CAD according to diabetes status has not been elucidated in the Asian population. METHODS We evaluated the association between MetS and CAD using the parameters including any...

Conflict-avoiding codes (CACs) were introduced by Levenshtein as a single-channel transmission scheme for multiple-access collision channel without feedback. When the number of simultaneously active source nodes is less than or equal to weight CAC, it able provide hard guarantee that each node transmits at least one packet successfully within fixed time duration, no matter what relative offsets...

False-negative results of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) are common due to small calcified lesions being missed using a 3-mm slice thickness, a threshold of 130 Hounsfield units (HU) and a minimum area of 1 mm(2) for defining a calcified plaque. In contrast, false-positive results of CACS, as verified by a lack of coronary artery calcifications in computed tomography coronary angiogram (C...

We study the interaction between (a) inefficiencies in the post-default debtor-creditor bargaining game and (b) ex ante debtor moral hazard and excessive lending in sovereign debt markets. Conditional on default, selffulfilling debt crisis driven by creditor coordination failure exists and crisis risk is inefficiently high. Strengthening collective action clauses (CACs) has an ambiguous impact ...

Celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS) is a disease caused by celiac the median arcuate ligament (MAL), resulting in intestinal ischemic symptoms. However, clear method for invasive treatment of CACS has not yet been established because limited indications. In particular, only few reports endovascular therapy (EVT) using stents as initial are available. Here, we report case where EVT was per...
