Introduction This study assessed the long-term outcomes of patients with chest pain (CP) who had attended a Rapid Access Chest Pain Clinic (RACPC) and were by Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography (DSE). Patients in RACPC are now recommended to under cardiac CT first ischaemia testing reserved for those atypical symptoms coronary disease on CTCA or uncertainty about clinical significance ...

The provision of education to children is a human right that most countries including Namibia are trying achieve. Hence, through educational inclusion, educators strive for removal barriers within systems all learn. purpose this study was explore how the Namibian inclusive (IE) policy responds gender non‐conforming learners. Drawing upon Social Identity Perspective (SIP) and interviews with fou...

The impact-echo (IE) method is a popular non-destructive testing (NDT) technique widely used for measuring the thickness of plate-like structures and for detecting certain defects inside concrete elements or structures. However, the IE method is not effective for full condition assessment (i.e., defect detection, defect diagnosis, defect sizing and location), because the simple frequency spectr...

In many domains, a latent competition among different conventions determines which one will come to dominate. One sees such effects in the success of community jargon, of competing frames in political rhetoric, or of terminology in technical contexts. These effects have become widespread in the on-line domain, where the ease of information transmission makes them particularly forceful, and wher...

The aim of our study was to determine whether pre-emptive statin therapy was associated with improved outcome of infective endocarditis (IE). We conducted a nationwide, population-based, propensity score-matched cohort study with the Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. All patients with IE between January 2000 and December 2010 were enrolled. The primary outcome was in-hospita...

Seed legumins contain two conserved disulfide bonds: an interchain bond (IE) connecting the acidic and basic chains and an intrachain bond (IA) internal to the acidic chain. Mutant subunits were constructed in which these disulfide bonds were disrupted. Oxidized glutathione stimulated the rate of assembly of trimers with unmodified prolegumin subunits. Stimulation was not detected during assemb...

1.2 Machine failure A system is composed of 5 components, each of which is either working or broken. Consider an experiment that consists of observing the status of each component, and let the outcome of the experiment be given by the vector (x1, x2, x3, x4, x5), where xi = 1 if component i works and 0 if component i is broken. 1. How many outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment? 2....

Neoplastic transformation is a complex process that results from multiple changes in gene activities. Probably most of these are mutational, i.e. alterations in the genomic structure of DNA, but others may be due to adaptive changes wherein genes are expressed that are inappropriate to a stage of development or differentiation. In this commentary neoplastic development is discussed in the conte...

Abstract Introduction Pericardial effusion (PE) in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) has been shown to be an independent risk factor for severe complications, however no significant association mortality established. Our study aims the significance of pericardial IE. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis using United States National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database identify all h...
