Background: Number of deaths increases during periods of elevated heat. Objectives: To examine whether differences in heat-related deaths between 2003 and 2015 occurred in Slovenia. Materials and Methods: We estimated relative risks for deaths for the observed diagnoses, sex, age, and area, as well as 95% confidence intervals and excess deaths associated with heat waves occurring in 2015 and 20...

The model to be described is a “closed” system, comprised of four principal components : a pump, an arterial capacitance, a peripheral resistance, and a venous capacitance. The pump is servo-controlled, such that “cardiac output” is a function of venous pressure (FrankStarling mechanism). Also, because the model is a closed system, the venous pressure is a function of the cardiac output. The mo...

BACKGROUND The epidemiological profile of mortality in a population is important for the institution of measures to improve health care and reduce mortality Objective: To estimate mortality rates and the proportional mortality from cardiovascular diseases and malformations of the circulatory system in children and adolescents. METHODS This is a descriptive study of mortality from cardiovascul...
