An explanation is proposed for the observation that in low-mass X-ray binaries the correlation between most observable X-ray spectral and timing parameters on the one hand, and X-ray luminosity on the other, while generally good in a given source on a time scale of hours, is absent both on longer time scales and between sources. This phenomenon, particularly evident in kHz QPO sources, leads to...

An 89 year old female with a history of myocardial infarction, chronic heart failure, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation was transferred to our institution with circulatory insufficiency. The patient had been undergone treatment for in-stent restenosis of the middle left ascending artery 1 week back. Her systolic blood pressure was 70 mm Hg with evident cyanosis over the whole body surface. ...

Methods Medical students in their surgical or medical clinical clerkship in the Capital Region of DK were invited to participate in one day simulator-based training course. The students were divided into groups of 4-7 students. They were trained in managing acute medical scenarios such as respiratory and/or circulatory failure with special focus on using the ABCDE assessment approach. Methods u...

Cochlear implant (CI) is an electronic device used to rehabilitate patients with sensorineural hearing loss. The intent of this review is to demonstrate the normal position of the electrode on computed tomography (CT) and contrast this with various examples of the electrode malpositioning. Post-implantation CT is performed to localize the cause of implant failure in patients in which radiograph...

abstract   background and purpose: traditional lecture-based teaching has been long used to transit theoretical knowledge to the participants. due to some problems of this didactic approach, some believe that integration within an active method is more valuable in nursing education. in this study, we hypothesized that integrating lecture-based teaching within clerkship course would enhance nurs...

Purpose: It is known that the decrease in estrogen level women's life has negative effects on cardiovascular system. In this study, it was aimed to elucidate changes clinical status and treatment requirement of patients with heart failure (HF) during menopausal transition period.
 Materials Methods: A total 26 followed up HF outpatient clinic between 2015–2020 were included retrospective, ...
