Methods: All presenting clinical,ECG 2D – echocardiographic evidence myocardial infarction admitted department medicine. Results: A 48 both sex were taken as sample.36 diagnosed ST elevation MI(STEMI) 12 Non-ST MI(N...

Results At first evaluation he had arthritis of both knees, left ankle and 4th MTF of the left foot and tenosynovitis of second finger of the right hand. His immune evaluation revealed an important CD4 naif lymphopenia, abnormal proliferative responses to mitogens, skewed Vbeta repertoire and expanded gammadelta T cells, as well as conserved humoral response. Laboratory investigations showed er...

Background: Psoriasis is associated with premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular co-morbidity and mortality. Objective: To determine endothelial function in severe psoriasis at onset compared to that of matched healthy controls Methods: Using high-resolution ultrasound, we measured the diameter of brachial artery at rest, during reactive hyperemia, and after sublingual nitroglycerin. We co...

Methods 14 men (26 ± 5 yrs) supplemented with 2224 mg EPA (MorEPA Mini; Minami Nutrition, Belgium)+2208 mg DHA (MorDHA Mini; Minami Nutrition, Belgium) and a placebo for 6 weeks using a random order, double blind cross-over design (with an 8 week washout period) prior to performing a 60 minute treadmill climb using a weighted backpack. Blood was collected before and at 0, 0.5, 24, and 48 hours ...

Aims. Creactive protein is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease. However, whether C-reactive protein is a marker of severity of cardiovascular disease or actually is involved in its pathogenesis remains unknown. We investigated the relation between C-reactive protein haplotypes, representing the comprehensive variation of the C-reactive protein gene, and coronary heart disease. Method...

Purpose: To study the influence of non-invasive ventilator and tiotropium bromide on pulmonary function sleep quality patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD) combined apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods: One hundred twenty COPD-OSAHS were selected randomly assigned to control group (CG) treatment (TG), 60 subjects in each group. Non-invasive therapy was used both groups, based conv...

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between early onset sepsis and increased levels of Creactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cord plasma. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 141 premature infants delivered with gestational ages of 26-35 weeks. IL-6 and CPR were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay in the cord plasma of the neonates. A...

A 56-year-old woman presented with long-standing pain in both knees. She had been suffering from Raynaud’s phenomenon for 10 years. A physical examination showed hard subcutaneous nodules on the extensor surfaces of both knees and elbows (Picture 1: left elbow and right knee) with sclerodactyly and telangieclagia in both hands. The Creactive protein level was normal (0.08 mg/dL, normal < 0.3), ...

Background: Preeclampsia is most common medical disordersduring pregnancy, and the rate of hypertension ranges from 5 – 8 % f or all types of pregnancy. There was a significant difference between cancer antigen -125, plasma fibrinogen and Creactive protein to the severity of preeclampsia. Objective: To determine the level ofserum CA-125 level, C-reactive protein and plasma fibrinogen in preecla...

METHODS Patients Pleural fluids from 374 patients meeting standard criteria for pleural infection were analysed. Patients were recruited in 52 UK centres between 1999 and 2008 (including mycoplasma peak periods), as part of previous randomized trials of intrapleural therapy in pleural infection. Inclusion criteria were clinical evidence of infection and pleural fluid that was macroscopically pu...
