The incidence of carotid artery disease and cerebrovascular symptoms were determined in 102 consecutive patients with peripheral arterial disease. Symptoms were correlated with risk factors of age, hypertension, smoking and diabetes and with the extent of disease at the carotid bifurcation. The incidence of stroke with permanent neurological deficit was twice as high in diabetics as in non-diab...

Wstęp Styl życia jest głównym determinantem zdrowia, może jednak zmieniać się z biegiem lat. Studentów cechują zwykle „gorsze” zachowania zdrowotne niż te u osób dorosłych. To ciekawe zjawisko nie było badane w środowisku lekarskim. Celem pracy była ocena stylu lekarzy porównaniu ich zachowaniami lat studenckich. Materiał i metody Badanie przekrojowe przeprowadzono 2020 r. wykorzystaniem autors...

This research was aimed at establishing high-quality and abundant cocoon cultivation in the country, to create new nutritious mulberry varieties gradually introduce them into production. In order local varieties, for first time viability of silkworm hybrids “Jararik-9”, “Jararik-10” determined by level productivity technological impact. The coefficient leaves eating hybrid worms determined. bel...

A prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial was performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the homeopathic product ZinCyp-3-02 in children with sleep disorders for ≥ one month compared to glycine. Children ≤ six years old received either ZinCyp-3-02 (N = 89) or comparator glycine (N = 90). After treatment for 28 days, total sleep-disorder-associated ...

1) Use of the complex wave oscillation method provided a measurement range of over 9 cmH201lls with a resolution of O.18 cmH20/1ls. 2) The respiratory system was expressed as a two-compartment model. By expressing the circuit characteristics as phasor loci, a method was shown whereby individual impedance parameter values could be derived frorn the measured impedance phasor loci. S) Vnder enflur...

INTRODUCTION A broad range of self-tests (testing for e.g. HIV, cancer, hepatitis B/C) have become available and can be conducted by lay consumers without the help of a health professional. The aims of this study were to (a) investigate the prevalence of self-testing, (b) identify the most frequently used self-tests, and (c) explore the associations between socio-demographic, health-related and...

OBJECTIVE We examined various factors possibly related to metabolic syndrome, particularly focusing on nutritional assessment proteins such as retinol binding protein (RBP) and transthyretin (TTR), and remnant lipoproteins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fasting serum lipid was analyzed in 58 Japanese adult volunteers (33 men and 25 women, 42.5 +/- 10.1 years old). RESULTS The lipid profiles of the ...

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to quantify the extent of lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) in atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS Patients scheduled for carotid endarterectomy underwent four-point Dixon and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3 Tesla. Fat and R2* maps were generated from the Dixon sequence at the acquired spatial resolution of 0.60 × ...
