We define Persistent Mutual Information (PMI) as the Mutual (Shannon) Information between the past history of a system and its evolution significantly later in the future. This quantifies how much past observations enable long-term prediction, which we propose as the primary signature of (Strong) Emergent Behavior. The key feature of our definition of PMI is the omission of an interval of “pres...

OBJECTIVE Periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) remains a relatively common complication even after successful procedures. In-stent restenosis (ISR) may be involved in lesion-related factors for PMI. We compared the incidence of PMI between patients with ISR and those with de novo stenosis. METHODS The study population consisted of 121 patients with coronary artery disease who had been treat...

Acute posterior wall myocardial infarction (PMI) occurs in up to 20% of cases of acute myocardial infarction (MI), with the vast majority occurring along with inferior or lateral acute MI.1 A true PMI is considered more rare, with an incidence of approximately 3.3%.2 The term PMI is used for necrosis of the part of the left ventricle located beneath the atrioventricular sulcus.3 The majority of...

Upon the death of an organism, internal nucleases contained within the cells should cause DNA to degrade into smaller fragments over time, if these fragments can be isolated and visualized, and if the fragmentation is proved to be measurable and quantifiable, it can be a good indicator of the postmortem interval (PMI). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PMI on DNA degradation in differe...

The persistent mutual information (PMI) is a complexity measure for stochastic processes. It is related to well-known complexity measures like excess entropy or statistical complexity. Essentially it is a variation of the excess entropy so that it can be interpreted as a specific measure of system internal memory. The PMI was first introduced in 2010 by Ball, Diakonova and MacKay as a measure f...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with CKD who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may have more ischemic events than patients without CKD. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after elective stent implantation in patients with CKD using the...

We investigated potential protein markers of post-mortem interval (PMI) using rat kidney and psoas muscle. Tissue samples were taken at 12 h intervals for up to 96 h after death by suffocation. Expression levels of eight soluble proteins were analyzed by Western blotting. Degradation patterns of selected proteins were clearly divided into three groups: short-term, mid-term, and long-term PMI ma...

AIMS Previous studies have shown that aortic valve calcification (AVC) was associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. On the other hand, periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a well-known predictor of subsequent mortality and poor clinical outcomes. The purpose of the study was to assess the hypothesis that the presence of AVC could pred...

OBJECTIVE Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) is a well-described complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Data on its effect on patients' subsequent health-related quality of life (QOL) and on other related consequences is deficient. The aim here was to evaluate in a prospective follow-up design the risk factors for and consequences of PMI and especially its possible impac...
