Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-β2 Glycoprotein-I Antibody in Acute Myocardial InfarctionMohammad Shojaei, Abdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Hamideh Ebadat et al.Problem statement: Ischemic cardiac manifestations have been reported in a various percentage of patients with anti-phospholipid antibodies. Data concerning the relation between anti- Phospholipid (aPL) antibodies and myocardial infarction in subjects without evidence of overt autoimmune disease are conflicting. Anti-beta2 glycoprotein-I (anti-beta2-GPI) antibody is detected in various diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. The study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiotrophin-1 in Patients with Acute Myocardial InfarctionAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Shojaie, Abdoulhossain MadaniProblem statement: Myocardial infarction is the combined result of environmental and personal factors. Prothrombotic factors might play an important role in this phenomenon. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines, was identified as a growth factor for cardiac myocytes that induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and stimulates cardiac … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandomized Clinical Stroke Trials In 2008Meheroz H. RabadiProblem statement: Stroke ranks as the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability; estimated direct and indirect cost of stroke for 2009 was $68.9 billion. Approach: The objective of this review was to examine the effectiveness of emerging pharmacotherapies in patients with acute (≤2 weeks), sub-acute (2-12 weeks) and chronic (≥12 weeks) stroke studied … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMitochondrial Energy-Deficient Endophenotype in AutismJ. Jay Gargus, Faiqa ImtiazWhile evidence points to a multigenic etiology of most autism, the pathophysiology of the disorder has yet to be defined and the underlying genes and biochemical pathways they subserve remain unknown. Autism is considered to be influenced by a combination of various genetic, environmental and immunological factors; more recently, evidence has suggested that increased vulnerability to oxidative stress may be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 11,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Analysis of the Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme and Cardiac Troponin T Levels in a Polymyositis PatientR.M. Golding, L.G.F. Giles, E.M. SokoyaFrom an extensive model developed to interpret physiological processes we are able to show that the observed elevated creatine kinase-myoglobin (CK-MB) and serum concentration of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) values for a particular patient are associated with the inflammatory disease, polymyositis, and not myocardial injury. This highlights that caution must be exercised in using elevated CK-MB and cTnT levels as … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,875 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Case of a Young Patient with Acute Endocarditis and Challenging Diagnostic and Treatment DecisionsPau Rello, Teresa González-Alujas, Laura Escolà-Vergé et al.Despite advances achieved in recent years, Infective Endocarditis (IE) remains a disease associated with high mortality and morbidity. When it involves multiple locations at the same time, deciding the best treatment can become challenging. In some cases, especially in patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis, a definitive diagnosis can be difficult to achieve and multimodality imaging including Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 9 Jun 2021 · 7,382 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMetabolic Features of Heart Failure with Different EtiologyOleynikov Dmitrij ArkadievichDilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Chronical Degenerative Valvular Disease (CDVD) are very common in dogs nowadays. However, due to modern level in oncology we can meet chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathies more often. We have lack of information about pathogenic mechanisms underlying Doxorubicin-induced Cardiomyopathy (DoxCM) and features differentiating it from CDVD and DCM. In this study we investigate several metabolic features of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2017 · 7,172 accessesView PDFCite
