Lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphism and lipid profile in coronary artery disease
(COLL AMER PATHOLOGISTS, 2004)
Context.-Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a central role in lipid metabolism hydrolyzing triglyceride in chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins. The PvuII polymorphic variant of LPL gene is common and might affect ...
Pyoderma gangrenosum at the incision site following gynecologic surgery
(ELSEVIER SCI IRELAND LTD, 2004)
[Abstract Not Available]
Effect of the treatment of brucellosis on leukocyte superoxide dismutase activity and plasma nitric oxide level
(Sage Publications Inc, 2005)
Background: The mechanisms by which brucellae evade intracellular killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes are incompletely understood. In this study we evaluated changes of leukocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and ...
Combined radiofrequency ablation and myxoma resection through a port access approach
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2004)
Myxornas are common cardiac tumors that are traditionally managed by complete excision through a median sternotorny approach with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. We discuss a patient with left atrial myxoma and chronic ...
Modulation of high-density lipoproteins in a population in Istanbul Turkey with low levels of high-density lipoproteins
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC, 2005)
The extent to which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels can be increased in patients with low HDL cholesterol is important because low HDL cholesterol levels increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). ...
Coulomb corrections in the lepton-pair production in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
(Amer Physical Soc., 2005)
We solve the perturbative electron-positron pair production exactly by calculating the second-order Feynman diagrams. We compare our result with Born methods that include Coulomb corrections. We find that a small-momentum ...
Decrease in Staphylococcus aureus surgical site infections following cardiovascular surgery

[Abstract Not Available]
Optimal input design for the detection of changes towards unknown hypotheses
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2004)
The effects of auxiliary input signals on detecting changes in ARMAX processes via statistical tests are discussed. Two extensions to the Cumulative Sum Test are considered. The first is applicable when the direction of ...
Evaluation of surgical-site infections following cardiovascular surgery
(SLACK INC, 2004)

Thiols malonaldehyde status in the Turkish and total antioxidant patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(Tohoku Univ Medical Press, 2003)
Non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Oxidative stress mechanisms are often reported to be implied in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In order to determine ...
