Abstract Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains underused despite its well-established therapeutic effect and clear guidelines. Among various reasons are the lack of referral, fear complications high cost. The assessment mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) on echocardiography has been suggested to aid patient selection. In past, however, several studies have used old markers MD p...

The genes for myotonic dystrophy (MD) and for apolipoprotein E (ApoE) belong to a chromosome 19 synthenic group of markers. A familial linkage analysis between MD and ApoE was performed using the J Ott LIPED program (IBM PC/XT, April 1984) to estimate the genetic distance between these 2 genes. Of a total of 136 individuals in 11 MD families, 81 were confirmed to be affected by the disease and ...

BACKGROUND Cerebral microdialysis (MD) is used to monitor local brain chemistry of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite an extensive literature on cerebral MD in the clinical setting, it remains unclear how individual levels of real-time MD data are to be interpreted. Intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) are important continuous brain monitors in neur...

Calibrated data for 65 flat-spectrum extragalactic radio sources are presented at a wavelength of 850μm covering a three-year period from April 1997. The data, obtained from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope using the SCUBA camera in pointing mode, were analysed using an automated pipeline process based on the Observatory Reduction and Acquisition Control Data Reduction (ORAC-DR) system. This p...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of subclinical hyperthyroidism of variable etiology on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in postmenopausal women. DESIGN T he study included data of 88 postmenopausal women classified into four groups depending on the etiology of subclinical hyperthyroidism: (1) 20 with toxic multinodular goiter without history of clinical hyperthyroidism; (2) 25...

Maternal deprivation (MD) during neonatal life has diverse long-term behavioral effects and alters the development of the hippocampus and frontal cortex, with several of these effects being sexually dimorphic. MD animals show a marked reduction in their circulating leptin levels, not only during the MD period, but also several days later (PND 13). A neonatal leptin surge occurs in rodents (begi...

Background and aimsStudies regarding dietary patterns cardiometabolic risk markers during pregnancy are scarce. The aim of the present study was to analyse whether different degrees adherence Mediterranean diet (MD) MD components were associated with a clustered pregnancy.Methods resultsThis comprised 119 pregnant women from GEStation FITness (GESTAFIT) project. Dietary habits assessed food fre...

Concussion is a major health concern, associated with short-term deficits in physical function, emotion and cognition, along with negative long-term health outcomes. However, we remain in the early stages of characterizing MRI markers of concussion, particularly during the first week post-injury when symptoms are most severe. In this study, 52 varsity athletes were scanned using Magnetic Resona...

Abstract Background Endothelial microvascular dysfunction (MD) is a key pathophysiologic mechanism for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) indeed can affect the endothelium of both peripheral and coronary microcirculation, thereby triggering systemic derangements well left ventricular diastolic (LVDD). Altered response to insulin c...
