Incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains high. Limited data is available about whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can prevent arrhythmic death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the impact of CKD on all-cause and sudden cardiac death in ICD recipients. We evaluated 4...

OBJECTIVE Clinical observations suggest that negative affects such as helplessness/hopelessness (HE/HO) may induce autonomic duration; affects were assessed for every move after reconstruction of the games. In all games compiled, 18 situation of intense confidence/optimism and 20 of intense helplessness/hopelessness were observed. RESULTS Intense affects of HE/HO were associated with decreasi...

For morphological characterization evaluation of yield attributes maize genotypes experiment was carried out at experimental field Department Crop Botany Tea Production Technology, Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU). The materials were seven exotic viz.ZM 0001, ZM 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006ZM 0007 along with BARI 6 co...

The global seroprevalence of latent toxoplasmosis is estimated to be higher than 30%. The presence of slowly dividing parasites in tissue cysts located mainly in immunoprivileged organs was long considered asymptomatic. Recently, many studies have shown that latent Toxoplasma infections could have serious impacts on human health. Here we ran a cross-sectional study in a population of 1486 volun...
