RESULTS At 9.1 4.2 years of follow-up, patients with moderate MAVD (n 1⁄4 251) had a mean age of 63 11 years, 73% were male, and 38% had bicuspid valve. AE occurred in 193 (77%) patients in this group, including symptom development (69%), aortic valve replacement (67%), and cardiac death (4%). Predictors of AE were older age (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.71 per decade; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.3...

Although the benefits and risks associated with moderate drinking have gained increasing attention in recent years from both researchers and the general public, no universal definition of moderate drinking exists. Most currently used definitions are based on a certain number of drinks consumed in a specific time period. Defining a “drink,” however, also is difficult because alcoholic beverages ...

We prove that the Moderate Deviation Principle (MDP) holds for the trajectory of a locally square integrable martingale with bounded jumps as soon as its quadratic covariation, properly scaled, converges in probability at an exponential rate. A consequence of this MDP is the tightness of the method of bounded martingale diierences in the regime of moderate deviations.

background and purpose: the goal of asthma therapy is to achieve clinical control and near normal lung functions. many patients with moderate persistent asthma fail to achieve this goal with a low dose of inhaled corticosteroid (ïçs) plus long-acting β2 agonist (lâbâ). ïn the present study, we have checked whether another controller medication (in the form of ginger capsule) add on to ïçslow do...

background: we aimed to observe the effect of holistic nursing on patients undergoing hematodialysis for uremia who simultaneously were suffering from moderate to severe malnutrition. methods: eighty patients with uremia on maintenance hematodialysis with malnutrition between june 2014 and june 2015 from yantaishan hospital, yantai, shandong, china were included and equally and randomly were di...

It is well known that supersymmetry (SUSY) gives neutron and electron electric dipole moments (dn and de) which are too large by about 10 . If we assume a SUSY model cannot contain fine-tunings or large mass scales, then one must require that the SUSY breaking mechanism give real soft breaking parameters, in which case the minimal SUSY model has no CP violation other than from the CKM matrix (b...

objective(s): the effect of prolonged overtraining on cytokine kinetics was compared with moderate exercise in the present study.   materials and methods: male wistar rats were randomly divided into control sedentary (c), moderate trained (mt), (v=20 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 days a week, 8 weeks), overtrained (ot) (v=25 m/min, 60min/day for 6 days a week, 11 weeks) and recovered overtrained (or)...
