BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The failure of ST-segment resolution (STR) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. However, the clinical predictors on admission for incomplete STR are poorly known. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Patients undergoing pPCI (n=101, 79 males and 22 females, mean age 60.0 years) were divided into complete STR group (>/=...

Patrilineally transmitted Y-chromosomal markers have been shown to resolve forensic cases under certain scenarios where autosomal markers provide limited or inconclusive evidence. Several Y-short tandem repeat (Y-STR) loci have been validated for forensic use, and Y-STR haplotype databases for a number of geographic locations are now available in the literature and online. In this review, examp...

Y-STR analysis may in certain cases complement the autosomal STR markers in forensic, investigations, kinship testing and human identification. Hence, it would be informative to assess the probability of occurrence of the Y-STR haplotype in the Lebanese population where. This study aimed at estimating the Lebanese Y-STR allele and haplotype frequencies in 502 non-related males using the Y-filer...

OBJECTIVES Lower pill burden leads to improved antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among HIV patients. Simpler dosing regimens have not been widely explored in real-world populations. We retrospectively assessed ART adherence, all-cause hospitalisation risk and costs, and other healthcare utilisation and costs in Medicaid enrollees with HIV treated with ART as a once-daily single-tablet regi...

Experiments have been conducted to investigate the vortex dynamics in a deep open cavity driven by pulsatile flows. Physiological flow waveforms examined for mean Re ranging from 200 1000 and Wo of 10.2, 12.4, 17.6, with Strouhal numbers (Str, as function Wo) 0.065 0.98. Results show that two-primary-vortex system develops, similar steady flow, but it exhibits more dynamic behaviors evolves dur...

It is widely appreciated that short tandem repeat (STR) variation underlies substantial phenotypic variation in organisms. Some propose that the high mutation rates of STRs in functional genomic regions facilitate evolutionary adaptation. Despite their high mutation rate, some STRs show little to no variation in populations. One such STR occurs in the Arabidopsis thaliana gene PFT1 (MED25), whe...
