Abstract Objective: This study evaluated the transradial approach for its ability to diagnose coronary artery anomalies, its requirement for catheter usage, the number of images obtained and fluoroscopy time required. Patients and methods: A total of 11,707 patients’ coronary angiograph reports from January 2009 to January 2016 were evaluated with 179 patients identified as having coronary artery anomalies. Subsequent analyzes compared patients’ access sites with multiple angiographic parameters, including the number of images obtained, catheters used, and the fluoroscopy time required. RESULTSesults: The frequency of coronary artery anomalies identified by angiographies was 0.015%. Coronary anomalies were detected by transradial access (TRA) in 133 patients and by transfemoral access (TFA) in 46 patients. The most common anomaly was in the right coronary artery originating from the left sinus Valsalva (71 patients; 39.2%). The fluoroscopy times required and the number of catheters

High RDW values ​​are associated with CAE and CAD, and correlate with the severity of CAE. These findings indicate that RDW values ​​can be used to estimate the severity of CAE disease.

We studied 92 patients to determine the relationship between the QRS treadmill score (QTS) and extent of coronary artery disease. The results were compared to those of ST segment deviation in a < (+)QRS score > population. A cut off point of < 5 mm was used for mild to moderate risk patients whereas a QTS of < 3 was considered high risk for the patients. 43% of the patients had high risk QTS and 57% mild to moderate QTS. A highly significant correlation was observed between the extent of coronary artery disease and the high risk group of patients, whereas nonsignificant changes were observed in the control group (p < 0.001). Finally, the results indicate that in patients with a (+) QTS score (< 5 mm), coronary artery disease was significant and accordingly extensive during coronary angiography. On the other hand, a (+) QRS score proved to be superior to ST deviation in predicting critical coronary stenoses in the same population (F ratio; 41 vs 24).

Summary Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of topical rifamycin SV treatment against sternal infection (SWI) in diabetic patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods One hundred and fifty-nine diabetic patients who were scheduled to undergo isolated on-pump CABG surgery were included. Eight were excluded for various reasons. Of the 151 patients, 51 were on insulin therapy and 100 were on oral anti-diabetics. The risk of mediastinitis was assessed using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association 2004 guideline update for CABG surgery. According to the risk scores, patients were divided into two comparable groups: the rifamycin group (n = 78) received topical rifamycin treatment after on-pump CABG surgery, and the control group (n = 73) received no topical treatment.

Conclusions: In both groupings, the prevalence of CAD was significantly higher in Group 2 versus Group 1 (p<0.01 for both). There was a significant relationship between CAD and PAFV (p<0.05), but the relation between CAD and PCFV was more significant (p<0.01).

The ketogenic diet is the increased fat burning that occurs as a result of the “ketosis” metabolic state created in the body by minimizing carbohydrate intake. The ketogenic diet is actually a treatment method. It is applied in the treatment of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s. Apart from these, it has also been proven that it has curative effects in metabolic problems such as diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, high blood fats.
