During a 4-year multicenter cooperative study of acquired factor VIII inhibitors in persons with hemophilia A. new inhibitors were detected in 31 of 1 .306 patients who entered the study without an inhibitor or the history of an inhibitor. The incidence of new inhibitors was eight per 1 .000 patient-years of observation. The factor Vlll:C level before inhibitor development was 0.03 U/mi in 29 m...

introduction: myocardial infarction (mi) is the most prevalent disorder causing a high mortality rate. in patients, chest pain is a common compliant, but sometimes it occurs without pain. painless infarction may occur in diabetic patients. it is believed that infarction without and with slight pain, is more possible in diabetic patients due to autonomic neuropathy. consequently, these patients ...

  Objective: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone decreasing bone mineral density (BMD) particularly in postmenopausal women. On the other hand, panoramic radiography has several applications in dentistry. It appears that by calculating some indices on panoramic radiographs, we may be able to predict the risk of osteoporosis in high-risk individuals. The present study w...

BACKGROUND The assessment of return of function within dysfunctional myocardium after acute myocardial infarction (MI) using contractile reserve has been primarily qualitative. Magnetic resonance (MR) myocardial tagging is a novel noninvasive method that measures intramyocardial function. We hypothesized that MR tagging could be used to quantify the intramyocardial response to low-dose dobutami...

The prognostic value of abnormalities on the electrocardiogram (ECG) present 1 year after initial myocardial infarction (MI) is examined in relation to reinfarction and coronary death throughout 32 years (mean, 10.1 years) of follow-up in the Framingham Heart Study. Resting 12-lead ECGs were available in 251 survivors (190 men and 61 women) of clinically recognized Q wave MI. The ECG reverted t...

OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) accompanied by acute inferior myocardial infarction (MI) is still a problem that we encounter. This study was designed to find out the usefulness both of peak myocardial systolic velocity (Sm) and of the myocardial performance index (MPI) of the right ventricle measured by pulsed-wave tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in asses...

  Background :In addition to diagnosing the acute myocardial infarction (MI), stratifying high-risk patients and proper treatment strategies are important issues in managing patients complaining of chest pain and suspecting MI. Many studies have been conducted to predict the occlusion site by interpreting the ST segment deviations in Electrocardiogram (ECG).Additional posterior and right precor...
