Data related to the incidence and clinical outcome of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with preexisting coronary artery ectasia (CAE) are limited. We assessed whether infarct-related artery ectasia (EIRA) indicates an untoward clinical outcome in patients with AMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Consecutive patients (n = 643) who presented with AMI and were treated with pPCI were analyzed retrospectively; 31 patients (4.8%) had EIRA. Patients who had EIRA were ...

The effects of 11% thinning on the nutrient outflux of a deciduous forest ecosystem in Belgrad forest is investigated with a paired watershed study. The treatment was a selective cutting to remove 11% of the standing volume uniformly throughout the watershed. Skidding was done by horse dragging and residues were left on site. Regression equations for selected water quality parameters were computed for calibration period (1980–1985) and calculated output values for the first year of post-treatment ...

Thinning is a common harvesting method in Turkey that is assumed to be an environmental-friendly and hydrological-effective forestry technique. This assumption, however, does not rely on sound knowledge since the eco-hydrological database in the region is poor. This paper presents a paired watershed experiment that has been established to measure the hydrological impacts of 11% thinning in a deciduous forest ecosystem. The treatment was a selective cutting to remove 11% of the standing volume in ...

The prevalence of depression has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Although depression is categorized as a brain disorder, its symptomatology includes some behaviors that also occur during chronic inflammatory stress. According to research, cytokine production and immune system activation may have a role in depression, so this relationship has received much attention. Moreover, there is a bidirectional relationship between oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress plays ...

The MrgD receptor agonist, alamandine (ALA) and Mas receptor agonist, AVE0991 have recently been identified as protective components of the renin-angiotensin system. We evaluated the effects of ALA and AVE0991 on cardiovascular function and remodeling in angiotensin (Ang) II-induced hypertension in rats. Sprague Dawley rats were subject to 4-week subcutaneous infusions of Ang II (80 ng/kg/min) or saline after which they were treated with ALA (50 μg/kg), AVE0991 (576 μg/kg), or ALA+AVE0991 during the ...

Endotoxin activates white blood cells and complement and produces a spectrum of clinical syndromes ranging from fever to septic shock. Although production of endogenous endotoxemia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has recently been reported, the role of hypothermia on endotoxemia is not clear. In this study, we evaluated the effects of moderate (24-28 degrees C) and mild (32-34 degrees C) hypothermia on blood endotoxin levels. The study population consisted of 20 patients who underwent coronary ...

The Doppler evaluation of fetal venous flow-velocity waveforms is of clinical relevance in conditions that are associated with cardiovascular manifestations. In contrast to arterial flow, velocity waveform characteristics of the venous-flow profile relate to atrial pressure and volume changes throughout the entire cardiac cycle, producing a multiphasic flow pattern1. Among the fetal venous vessels, the ductus venosus has a special role because its flow is under active regulation and its anatomy ...
