Our aim was to identify the predictive factors for permanent pacemaker (PM) implantation in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR). A total of 3534 patients received an AVR between January 1990 and December 2003 in our institution. Permanent PM implantation was performed in 234 (6.6%) patients, over median time of three days (range one to 24 days). This patient population w...

Objective(s): The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of vitamin C (Vit C) on hemolytic anemia induced by phenylhydrazine (PHZ). Materials and Methods: Twenty-four healthy male mice were divided into four groups, randomly: Control group (0.1 ml/day, normal slaine, IP), PHZ group that received only PHZ 8 mg/100 g/48 hr, IP, PHZ+Vit C group that received PHZ 8 mg/100 g/48 hr, IP an...

Busulfan is an alkylating agent affects ovarian follicles growth by oxidative stress induction. Satureja khuzestanica has antioxidant effects. The aim of this study was to examine whether S. khuzestanica essential oil (SKEO) exhibits protective effects on busulfan-induced ovarian failure. Eighty-four adult female mice were divided into six groups including dimethyl sulfoxide (...

METHODS: The records 20 P-CT cases who underwent ICL were retrospectively evaluated. grouped according to location implantation; AC PC ICL. Pre- post-surgical best-corrected visual acui...

Electrical storm after Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a recognized complication. The risk factors associated with electrical storm, impact on survival less studied. aim of this study to the incidence, LVAD implantation and in patients undergoing LVAD. We performed retrospective cohort all who underwent from January 1, 2001, December 31, 2020, at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Phoenix, Jackso...

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether direct stenting might prevent the adverse events associated with stent implantation during primary angioplasty and to compare it with conventional stent implantation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND No trial has demonstrated that stents favorably influence mortality rate. Recent studies have even suggested a negative impact...
