This recommendation for -20°C for 7 days is not in the plan at the URL cited. What the file PARASITE.HTM at that site shows is a portion of a HACCP plan relating to control of parasites, and the table shows in the Critical Limit column a recommendation to 'Freeze at 35°F for 15 hours'. This recommendation, as cited, contains a minor error compared with the FDA recommendation to be discussed bel...

BACKGROUND Higher vegetable intake is consistently associated with lower atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) events. However, the components responsible and mechanisms involved are uncertain. Nonnutritive phytochemicals may be involved. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations of total vegetable intake and types of vegetables grouped according to phytochemical constit...

BACKGROUND In-hospital worsening heart failure (WHF) is an important event that has inconsistent definitions used across trials. We used data from 2 acute heart failure (HF) trials from the National Institutes of Health HF Network, DOSE (Diuretic Optimization Strategies Evaluation) and ROSE (Renal Optimization Strategies), to understand event rates associated with different WHF definitions. M...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The contribution of serum phosphate levels to stroke risk in dialysis patients remains unclear. The present study aimed to elucidate the respective association between serum phosphate levels and the risk of brain hemorrhage or infarction in patients undergoing hemodialysis. METHODS A total of 3437 patients undergoing hemodialysis were followed up for a median of 3.9 yea...

BACKGROUND The origin of 40% of syncope cases remains unknown even after a complete diagnostic workup. Previous studies have suggested that ATP testing has value in selecting successful therapy. This patient-blinded, multicenter, randomized superiority trial tested whether, in patients with syncope of unknown origin, selecting cardiac pacing in those with a positive ATP test leads to fewer recu...

BACKGROUND Anemia has been associated with worse outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). We aimed to characterize the clinical profile and postdischarge outcomes of hospitalized HF patients with anemia at admission or discharge. METHODS AND RESULTS An analysis was performed on 3731 (90%) of 4133 hospitalized HF patients with ejection fraction ≤40% enrolled in the Efficacy of Vas...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) was shown to be related to cardiovascular events, but the role of sCD40L in predicting recurrent stroke remains unclear. METHODS Baseline sCD40L levels were measured in 3044 consecutive patients with acute minor stroke and transient ischemic attack, who had previously been enrolled in the Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute...

Abstract In this paper, we construct the coherent states for a system of an electron moving in plane under uniform external magnetic and electric fields. These are built context both discrete continuous spectra satisfy Gazeau-Klauder state properties Gazeau Klauder (1999 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 32 , 123–132).

the territory of serbia is vulnerable to various types of natural hazards and the risk is not equal across the entire territory; it varies depending on the type of hazard and the expected potential for damage. the first aim of this research was to determine the geographical distributions of the major types of natural hazards. seismic hazards, landslides, rock falls, floods, torrential floods...
