This study is to determine the management and clinical outcomes of patients investigated with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR

) according to sex.

Women are underdiagnosed with conventional ischemia testing, have lower rates of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) at invasive…[Read more]

anted into baboons Ischemic storage caused severe impairment of cardiac function and decreased tissue oxygen supply, leading to multi-organ failure in more than half of the xenotransplantation experiments. In contrast, cold non-ischemic heart preservation with continuous perfusion reliably prevented early graft failure. Consistent survival in the…[Read more]

The use of cell factories to convert sugars from lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals in which oleochemicals and food additives, such as carotenoids, is essential for the shift toward sustainable processes. Rhodotorula toruloides is a yeast that naturally metabolises a wide range of substrates, including lignocellulosic hydrolysates, and…[Read more]

Therefore, the assessment of coronary dominance type should be an integral part of outpatient management after CABG.

In patients undergoing elective surgical revascularization, left coronary dominance is associated with increased MACCE risk in the long term. Therefore, the assessment of coronary dominance type should be an integral part of…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Placement matching guidelines are promising means to optimize patient-centered care and to match patients’ treatment needs. Despite considerable research regarding placement matching approaches to optimize alcohol abuse treatment, findings are inconclusive. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the use of patient-centered placement matching…[Read more]

Indirect revascularization improves early postoperative outcomes, ensures maintaining support function of the limb and active lifestyle in patients with critical ischemia of the lower limbs. Technical simplicity of these procedures facilitates widespread introduction of indirect revascularization in multi-field hospitals.

Indirect…[Read more]

The last two decades have witnessed an increasing interest in the use of the so-called rapid analytical methods or high throughput techniques. Most of these applications reported the use of vibrational spectroscopy methods (near infrared (NIR), mid infrared (MIR), and Raman) in a wide range of samples (e.g., food ingredients and natural products).…[Read more]

Furthermore, statistically significant relationships were identified between workplace bullying and coping strategies (r = .53 p < .01) and intent to leave (r = .58 p < .01) among nurse educators.

Workplace bullying among nurse educators is a serious problem impacting the profession. Heightened awareness and diverse initiatives targeting…[Read more]

Low airway surface pH is associated with many airway diseases, impairs antimicrobial host defense, and worsens airway inflammation. Inhaled Optate is designed to safely raise airway surface pH and is well tolerated in humans. Raising intracellular pH partially prevents activation of SARS-CoV-2 in primary normal human airway epithelial (NHAE)…[Read more]
