When standard medical therapy is employed, cardiogenic shock is associated with an in-hospital mortality rate in excess of 75 % . Coronary angioplasty has been shown to reduce this mortality in patients following myocardial infarction,’ but the procedure can be complicated by transient myocardial ischemia induced by prolonged balloon inflation, acute vessel closure, or arrhythmias. To avoid pos...

BACKGROUND Negative T wave and lack of ST segment elevation in predischarge ECG in ST-segment elevation myocardial infraction (STEMI) patients are given as markers of good prognosis. Repolarization duration, especially its late part (TpeakTend - TpTe), likewise ST-T patterns, is related to local post-myocardial infarction myocardial attributes. We analyzed the differences in QT parameters in ST...

aim: the aim of this study was to compare cusp deflection, infraction and fracture in teeth filled with three temporary filling materials. materials & method: forty five extracted human premolar teeth were chosen. after root canal therapy and mesio-occluso-distal cavity preparation, samples were randomly divided into three groups , each contained 15 teeth and filled with three temporary filling...

BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQL) assessment is an important measure of the impact of a wide range of disease process on an individual. To date, no HRQL tool has been evaluated in an Iranian population with cardiovascular disorders, specifically myocardial infarction, a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The MacNew Heart Disease Health-related Quality of Life instrument is a...

As sharing agreements are being ratified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for various spectrum bands for commercial broadband use, it also opens up an equally challenging problem of enforcing these policies. The efficacy of an enforcement system greatly depends on the accuracy of evidential information and the speed of adjudication. The inherent unguided and unbounded nature of ra...

In this report we present a patient who was initially diagnosed as suffering from mitral valve endocarditis. The proper use of diagnostic modalities revealed a pseudo aneurysm of the left ventricle which was mimicking mitral valve vegetations. This allowed better planning of the subsequent operation. The optimal preoperative diagnostic studies are discussed along with the proper surgical treatm...
