Funded by the National Cardiovascular Data Registry of the American College of Cardiology Foundation, an analysis of the CathPCI registry reported unchanged in-hospital mortality (both observed and risk-adjusted mortality) from July 2005 through June 2009 for STEMI despite significant shortened door-to-balloon time from 83 minutes to 67 minutes in America [1]. The authors suggested that additio...

During 2010-2011, Real-time PCR procedure was used to detecting FMDV RNA on 147 epithelium samples from the field. In this survey, for Real-time PCR from 3D gene segment as conserve region selected for tracking all of seven serotypes FMDV. The assay detected the viral RNA in all serotypes of FMDV. The rRT-PCR specifically detected FMD virus in sample with greater sensitivity than our convention...

The amphiphilic graft copolymer using chitosan (CS) as hydrophilic segment and poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) as hydrophobic segment, was prepared through a protection-graft-de protection route. Chitosan is a polysaccharide comprising of copolymers of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine. Chitosan is the deacetylated derivative of chitin, which is one of the most abundant natural polysaccharides c...

According to the current Airport planning and design practices, for a given demand level there is a corresponding space requirement. While in practice, there are always trade-offs between cost and levels of service, labor and automation, equipment and fixed facilities, and expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new ones. In this research, the airport passenger Terminal Building (P...

Business all around the world uses different approaches to know their customers, segment them and formulate suitable strategies for them. One of these approaches is calculating the value of each customer for the company. In this paper by calculating Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) for individual customers of an online toy store named Alakdolak, three customer segments are extracted. The level of ...

purpose: to assess the efficacy of intrastromal rings for management of keratoconus (kcn). methods: this prospective non comparative case series includes 14 eyes of 11 contact lens intolerant patients with kcn. corneal thickness of at least 450 m at the site of segment insertion was required for enrollment. uncorrected visual acuity (ucva), best corrected visual acuity (bcva), refraction, pachy...

Explaining how infants learn words is one of the central problems in language acquisition. Learning words requires the ability to recognize them in real time, and spoken word-form recognition is an exceedingly complex skill. Because the speech signal is ephemeral, processing is subject to considerable timepressure. Furthermore, words occur as part of the continuous flow of speech. If words were...

IVS, interventricular septum; c, cusps of aortic valve; F, fluttering of mitral valve; LA, left atrium; aML and pML, anterior and posterior leaflets of mitral valve; IVS, interventricular septum; ppm, posteromedial papillar...

Precordial ST-segment mapping was applied serially in the coronary care unit for the study of 46 patients with myocardial infarction (MI), using a 49-lead system. Data from the maps were compared with clinical status of patients, conventional ECGs obtained simultaneously, and serum enzyme levels. Stability of the maps over a one hour period was noted in the early phase of admission. However, a ...
