To assess the role of coronary arteries in acute coronary syndrome patients who have survived sudden cardiac arrest. ⋯ LAD has the most involvement among the coronary arteries (85.71%) in patients with sudden cardiac arrest.
-
This laboratory study determined the surface, mechanical and chemical properties of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture resin reinforced with micron-sized Gum Arabic (GA) powder in different weight ratios. ⋯ The incorporation of GA powder in denture resin might not be a viable option. The surface and mechanical properties of experimental PMMA composites were adversely affected compared to the control group.
-
To identify the latest trends in the clinical picture and severity of the disease, which will help better understand and manage dengue. ⋯ This study showed that with time the trends in the presentation of dengue are slowly shifting, which will help us better manage the disease burden in the future.
-
To determine hiatal variations in cases of backache and controls on radiographs and association of age groups with hiatal parameters in patients with backache versus normal individuals. ⋯ Strong positive correlation was determined with inverted "U" and "M" shapes, and level of apex at S1 with low backache.
-
To evaluate the value of cardiac troponin(cTn), myoglobin(Myo) combined with heart-type fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP) detection in the diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction(AMI). ⋯ The combined detection of cardiac markers such as cTn, Myo and H-FABP presents higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of AMI compared with any single detection, and can provide better data support for the definite diagnosis of AMI, with high clinical application value.
