Deaths from myocardial infarction

WFH has various approaches towards clotting factor replacement therapy in hemophilia. Episodic treatment is the treatment given at the time of clinically evident bleeding. Primary prophylaxis is the regular continuous treatment initiated in the absence of documented bone changes in the joints, determined by physical examination and/or imaging studies, and started before the second clinically evident large joint bleed and age of three years. Secondary prophylaxis is the regular continuous…

Association of Low ABI with CV Risk Factors and Prevalent Disease: A low ABI is associated with many CV risk factors, including HTN, DM, dyslipidemia, smoking history, and several novel CV risk factors (eg, CRP, IL-6, homocysteine, and CKD) (Zheng et al, 2005; Selvin and Erlinger, 2004; Allison et al, 2006). Some studies have shown a graded inverse association of CVD risk factors across ABI thresholds (Selvin and Erlinger, 2004; Weatherley et al, 2007). Both CAD and cerebrovascular disease are…

main portal vein plane in both the unenhanced and portal venous phase contrast-enhanced images of each patient. To avoid partial-volume averaging effect, special care was taken to avoid measurements from vessels, focal lesions, areas of artifact, or near the edge of organ. Furthermore, only measurements from the posterior half of right hepatic lobe were obtained because of similar anatomic location between liver and spleen with resultant similar artifacts (Figure 1). Liver and splenic…

a potential factor that increases the risk of CD from endemic to non-endemic countries. CD has become a global concern. Prevalence of CD is more in migrants than that of blood donors. There is a need of high-quality epidemiological studies to estimates prevalence of disease. They concluded that enhance surveillance and reporting are needed for control efforts. So…

& 9). Accurately replicating the afferent feedback during exercise is difficult in both healthy and diseased subjects, due to an inability to directly measure afferents in human subjects. Thus most information about the response of afferents comes from post-exercise limb occlusion studies (2). There has been some indication that using a lower sub-systolic pressure cuff during exercise can more accurately represent the ventilatory response (4 & 6). A recent study by Keller-Ross et al. (5)…

What You Need to Know About Slipped and Herniated Discs Do you often experience a tingling sensation on your hands and legs? Do you have a pain that starts in the back and moves to your hand and feet? These may be signs indicating that you have a herniated or slipped disc. Discs are like cushions that keep our spine protected. They have a soft cartilage interior and a tough exterior meant to fit in between the vertebrae. A slipped disc means that the outer layer of the disc has cracked out…

preoperative ratios (right/left) ranged from 0.87 to 1.28. The mean postoperative ratio reduced after surgery maximally within the second week of follow up and increased again at the end of follow up. The mean ratio at end of follow up was 0.79 (range: 0.7-1.0) in study group I and 0.84 (range: 0.6-1.0) in study group II. There was a highly statistically significant difference between the study group I and study group II as regards the mean right/left ratios started from day 5 postoperatively…

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is characterized by a decrease in cardiac output (CO) and the consequent decrease in blood flow throughout the body leads to many widespread effects. For example, when CO is too low, the body starts to prioritize and will decrease blood flow to certain organs, such as the digestive viscera, in order to maintain needed blood flow in organs such as the brain. As a result, a person with CHF will have issues with cachexia and malnutrition because the body is not…

Cardiac dysfunction is the most severe side effect of DOX therapy. Previous studies demonstrate that cardiomyocyte death through apoptosis, necrosis, and other forms is a primary contributor to the development of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy(Zhang et al.,2009) The anthracycline doxorubicin-induced myocyte apoptosis is mediated by oxy radical chemistry. and change in level of antioxidant in the heart tissues(increase in CAT ,SOD and decrease level of GSH). On the other hand, a significant…
