Discussions continue about the effect of arterial hypertension (AH) on course and prognosis COVID-19 infection, while interest in antihypertensive therapy (AHT), primarily angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) receptor blockers (ARB), disease does not weaken. Aim study was to investigate associations AH, AHT severity coronavirus infection Novosibirsk patients. Material methods. Study ...

The reversibility of verapamil-induced hemodynamic and electrophysiologic changes by intravenously administered CaCI2 and NaCI was tested in 34 anesthetized open-chest dogs during verapamil infusions which produced plasma verapamil concentrations of 70-2042 ng/ml. An increase of serum calcium concentration (Ca). to an average 6.5 mEq/l abolished the depressive effects of verapamil on cardiac ou...

BACKGROUND Policy initiatives to improve retention of the rural health workforce have relied primarily on evidence for rural doctors, most of whom practice under a private business model. Much of the literature for rural allied health (AH) workforce focuses on the public sector. The AH professions are diverse, with mixed public, private or combined practice settings. This study explores sector ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To investigate cardiovascular risk profiles and their prognostic implications in patients with different subtypes of cerebral infarction. METHODS The study involved the retrospective analysis of data from a hospital stroke registry on 2704 consecutive CI patients who were admitted between 1986 and 2004. Of the 2704 strokes recorded, 770 were classified as thromboti...

Micropapillary patterns of apocrine change in human female breasts are common histological findings. They have been identified as cancer associated and implicated as an indicator of cancer risk in a predictive manner. This study has stratified papillary apocrine change (PAC) into categories of increasing complexity using a combination of cytological and histological pattern rules. Cases (2,876)...

A series of halodibenzo-p-dioxins with the photolabile aryl azide functional group were synthesized and screened as potential photoaffinity labels for the Ah receptor, and 2-azido-3-iodo-7,8-dibromodibenzo-p-dioxin was selected for radiosynthesis with 125I (specific activity 2176 Ci/mmol, equilibrium dissociation constant, KD = 0.76 nM). Following incubation of this 125I-labeled photoaffinity l...

PURPOSE This meta-analysis was performed to clarify the association between tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene polymorphisms and open angle glaucoma (OAG) risks, and the association between the TNF-α level in aqueous humor (AH) and the risks of glaucoma. METHODS A computerized literature search was performed for the relevant available studies from three databases including PubMed, ISI W...
