  Perhaps counter-intuitively, the most strategic tobacco control policies to reduce adolescent smoking and secondhand smoke exposure in LMICs may not be those targeting adolescents. Targeted campaigns can be expensive, and are unlikely to be as effective as the more affordable tobacco control policie

  Because of the high amplitude of atrial signals, atrial sensitivity was decreased from 0.5mV to 0.7mV to 1.0mV. As the sensitivity decreased, atrial sensing was restored gradually. With the sensitivity of 1.0mV, normal atrial sensing with mode switching was restored completely. The sensitivity was p

  Herweg et al. [9] evaluated the benefit of CRT in 10 consecutive patients with NYHA class IV HF who were dependent on inotropic support. Their patients had received inotropic support for 146±258 days, and all patients were alive at the mean follow-up of 1088±284 days after CRT. They also reported an

  It is noted that in this study BrS patients had an abnormality of plasma K+ concentration which has been suggested to be a potential trigger of Brugada Syndrome episodes [11]. In the absence of renal dysfunction, the hyperkalemia may result from an abnormal phenotype in BrS characterized by mutation

  Update on the diagnosis of ERS ERS is generally diagnosed in patients who display ER in the inferior and/or lateral leads presenting with aborted cardiac arrest, documented VF, or polymorphic VT. Consistent with the recent consensus report on ERP [24], ER is recognized if (1) there is an end QRS

  In addition, our present findings demonstrated that NOACs may offer advantages over warfarin therapy besides efficiency and safety. The time to ECV in the present OAC-naïve patients was significantly shorter in the NOAC group compared to the VKA group. This may be explained by the delayed achieveme

  Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and it commonly occurs after cardiac surgery. AF is often associated with stroke, congestive heart failure, and myocardial infarction, all of which contribute to the increase in the length of hospital stay, higher medical

  2019-06-18

  

  Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), a highly conserved serine-threonine protein kinase, is a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism. As discussed above, mTORC1 is a negative regulator of the preinitiation complex that modulates the initiation of autophagosome biogenesis. Pharmacological and

  The estimated number of women who die each year from causes related to pregnancy or childbirth has dropped substantially—from 543 000 deaths in 1990 to about 287 000 in 2010. Nevertheless, maternal mortality ratios remain among the least equitable of all health indicators, ranging from less than f

  Permanent pacemaker implantation with trans-IVC access was first reported in 23 cases by Ellestad et al., in 1980 [2]; it was then reported in 95 cases, of which the early cases were published in 1989 by the same author as the largest series reported thus far [5]. Mathur et al. also reported 27 case

  Discussion T-wave oversensing is caused by alternations or variations in intracardiac electrograms for reasons such as hyperglycemia, drugs, sympathetic tones, ventricular pacing, and hyperkalemia. Several similar cases of hyperkalemia-induced T-wave oversensing with inappropriate ICD therapies h

  A meta-analysis of seven observational studies, comparing dabigatran with warfarin, indicated that the ability of dabigatran to prevent ischemic stroke and bleeding outcomes is comparable to that of warfarin, which is consistent with the data obtained from the RE-LY trial [9]. These findings do not
