The role of posterior pericardiotomy on the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary revascularization
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2003)
Aim. Pericardial effusion and atrial fibrillation (AF) are two common complications in coronary revascularization surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of posterior pericardiotomy in pericardial. ...
Relationship between dyslipidemia C-Reactive Protein and serological evidence of chlamydia pneumoniae in Turkish patients with coronary artery diseases
(Luigi Ponzio E Figlio, 2004)
Relationship between dyslipidemia C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and serological evidence of Chlamydia pneumoniae was investigated in a Turkish population with coronary artery disease. This prospective randomized blinded study ...
Augmentation mentoplasty using a custom-design wire cage
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003)
Mentoplasty is often a complimentary procedure to rhinoplasty. At least 25% of all rhinoplasty patients may need a chin implant to balance facial features better. Augmentation mentoplasty using alloplastic implants such ...
A new technique for abdominal heart transplantation in rats
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2003)
Experimental studies in animals play a major role in the progress of medicine. Different surgical techniques have been described for heterotopic heart transplantation in rats. in this study we introduce a new technique for ...
Cognitive impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: evidence from neuropsychological investigation and event-related potentials
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2002)
The presence of subclinical cognitive impairment in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is investigated using neuropsychological assessment and event-related potential recordings (ERP). An extensive battery ...
The role of oxygen saturation measurement and body mass index in distinguishing between non-apnoeic snorers and patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002)
The aim of this study was to examine the role of oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) measurement in identifying apnoeic snorers from non-apnoeic snorers and in the assessment of the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea. Ninety-two ...
Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the clivus: MRI and CT findings
(Springer Verlag, 2002)
Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental disorder caused by abnormal proliferation and maturation of fibroblasts resulting in replacement of mature bone by structurally weak immature woven bone. Clival involvement in monostotic ...
Intraoperative saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified maze procedure for atrial fibrillation
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2002)
Background. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified Maze operation for treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation and to compare the results of the left and ...
Fault-tolerant training of neural networks in the presence of MOS transistor mismatches
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2001)
Analog techniques are desirable for hardware implementation of neural networks due to their numerous advantages such as small size low power and high speed. However these advantages are often offset by the difficulty in ...
Electrical activity regulates AChR gene expression via JNK PKC zeta and Sp1 in skeletal chick muscle
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001)
Electrical activity of myotubes represses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) gene expression. This effect is mimicked by okadaic acid and blocked by tetrodotoxin (TTX) or staurosporine in cultured myocytes [Altiok et ...
