BACKGROUND Increasing rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and decreasing rates of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery followed the introduction of drug eluting stents in Western Australia in 2002. We assessed the impact of these changes on one-year outcomes for the total population of patients undergoing coronary artery revascularisation procedures (CARP) in Western Austra...

cutaneous lesions in fishes due to viral, bacterial, parasitic, mechanical and chemical agents are very common, leading to severe infection and high mortality. the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of long term bath of zinc sulfate (15 and 23 ppm), healing of cutaneous lesions caused by surgical incision in carps. in this study, 210 carps were disinfected by 3% salt solution fo...

Background: Coronary artery revascularisation procedures (CARPs) include coronary artery bypass graft procedures (CABGs) and the less invasive percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) and they are common surgical interventions for coronary heart disease (CHD). The effectiveness of PCIs increased when stents were introduced and there was also a shift towards doing more PCIs and less CABGs, esp...

TNFα is a pleotropic cytokine that exerts its effect in many cell types via TNFR. In spite of their well-established roles in various biological events, neither TNFα nor TNFR is essential for normal mouse development, and mice deficient in either, like CARP2-null mice, developed normally and exhibited no defects without a challenge [6,7]. Similarly, deletion in mice of c-IAP or c-IAP2, proteins...

Carbonic anhydrase-related proteins (CARPs) have previously been described as catalytically inactive proteins closely related to α-carbonic anhydrases (α-CAs). These CARPs are found in animals (both vertebrates and invertebrates) and viruses as either independent proteins or domains of other proteins. We report here the identification of a new CARP (TgCA_RP) in the unicellular organism Toxoplas...
