Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide and yet remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Early detection is important, because PAD is strongly associated with an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. In this study, we built a PAD surveillance system using natural language processing (NLP) for early detection of PAD from narrative cli...

Background—Lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with decreased functional status, diminished quality of life, amputation, myocardial infarction, stroke, and death. Nevertheless, public knowledge of PAD as a morbid and mortal disease has not been previously assessed. Methods and Results—We performed a cross-sectional, population-based telephone survey of a nationally r...

Introduction: Today, have been approved scientifically relationship between presence of asbestos fibers in the human respiratory area and malignant diseases such as lung advanced fibrosis (Asbestosis), gastrointestinal, lung and Laryngeal cancers. The aim of this study was the determination of asbestos fibers concentration in Yazd city’s air in the summer of 2015. Materials and Methods: ...

Forced air cooling is used to lower the temperature of strawberries harvested at high temperatures. During forced cooling, skin strawberry comes into contact with bottom container, causing become bruised. In this study, we fitted a pre-cooled silicone rubber pad and placed inside. Strawberries were then treated modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), stored 5°C, changes in quality parameters recor...

the  main  clinical presentation  of  patients  with  primary antibody  deficiency (pad) incorporates upper respiratory tract infections comprising otitis media, sinusitis and pneumonia.  this  study  was  designed  to  investigate clinical and  paraclinical otological complications in major types of pad.  a cross sectional study was conducted on 55 pad patients with diagnosis of selective iga ...

New data on the epidemiology of peripheral artery disease (PAD) are available, and they should be integrated with previous data. We provide an updated, integrated overview of the epidemiology of PAD, a focused literature review was conducted on the epidemiology of PAD. The PAD results were grouped into symptoms, diagnosis, prevalence, and incidence both in the United States and globally, risk f...

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a manifestation of atherosclerosis below the bifurcation of the abdominal aorta. PAD increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and associated mortality. Little is known about the prevalence of PAD in middle-aged persons with intellectual disabilities (ID). We determined the prevalence of PAD among people with ID aged 40-59 years. Independent associations ...

Because patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may be asymptomatic or may present with atypical symptoms or findings, the true population prevalence of PAD is essentially unknown. We used four highly reliable, sophisticated noninvasive tests (segmental blood pressure, flow velocity by Doppler ultrasound, postocclusive reactive hyperemia, and pulse reappearance half-time) to assess the ...

The paper takes a type of flexible air bearing as the research object, and structure is analyzed in detail. Combined with traditional analysis method tilting pad fluid-solid coupling theory, new model for performance prediction was established. inner diameter 70mm calculated by changing input pressure or inlet capillary diameter. optimized analyzing calculation results, separate nozzle added. A...

INTRODUCTION  Resistin is an inflammatory mediator and a potential biomarker in cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVES  We sought to examine its association with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PATIENTS AND METHODS  We recruited 200 patients with PAD and 100 healthy controls. Patients were divided into 4 subgroups according to the Fontaine classification for PAD, that is, from Stage I to St...
