1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of the members of the otariid, phocid, and odobenid families.

stents became a commonality of treatment for coronary artery disease, it became evident that optimal results were limited by restenosis from hyperplasia of smooth muscle cells (impact). In an effort to reduce the occurrence of restenosis following implantation of bare metal stents, drug-eluting stents were developed. DRUG-ELUTING STENTS Drug-eluting stents differ from bare metal stents in that they are coated in pharmacological agents that work against vessel restenosis and have successfully…

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation has been widely used for the treatment of coronary artery narrowing. Despite progress in stenting technique and stent itself, in some PCI cases, bifurcation lesions still remain challenging for cardiologists as they are more difficult to manage than simpler lesions. Clinically, stenting with bifurcation lesions is found to be associated with poorer post-PCI outcomes, which increases the need to evaluate side branches prior to PCI.…

The first ever heart transplant was performed by surgeon Christiaan Barnard in December 1967 (American College of Cardiology, 2015) It was successful, however, the drugs given to him to suppress his immune system left him susceptible to sickness and he died 18 days later due to double pneumonia. Prior to his death, his heart had functioned normally and thus human heart transplants were now a reality. During the 1970s, the development of superior anti-rejection drugs made the transplant more…

Allowing an adult to make a decision for a child before they are born to place her in the Deaf culture or otherwise limit her…

The parents should receive intensive information counseling on the cochlear implant device. Informational counseling includes providing information on a device,…

Furthermore, with the composite end point of death/MI/stroke there was no interaction between diabetics and non- diabetics with any of the revascularization strategies (p=0.65). With introduction of drug eluting stents(DES) in clinical practice, superiority of effectiveness of DES over BMS have been largely demonstrated in head to head comparison in several RCT as well observational studies and meta-analysis 15-19, therefore, we would expect a substantial improving in PCI results over CABG…
