Objective: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of variation in the size of circulating red blood cells. Recent studies have reported a strong independent relation between elevated RDW and short- and long-term prognosis in various disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between admission RDW-to-platelet ratio (RPR) and in-hospital and long-term prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) ).

Long-term prognostic value of admission hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) levels in patients with st-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
by clinicby clinicIntroduction: Many studies have reported the diagnostic and prognostic value of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, the short- and long-term prognostic value of HbA1c level in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is controversial.

A comparative analysis of leukocyte and leukocyte subtype counts among isolated systolic hypertensive, systo-diastolic hypertensive, and non-hypertensive patients
by clinicby clinicBackground: Isolated systolic hypertension (ISHT) is a subtype of hypertension (HT) that often exhibits wide pulse pressure, and pulse pressure has a strong predictive value for future adverse cardiovascular events. Previous studies have shown the effects of leukocyte count on the prognosis of ischaemic heart disease and HT.

The protective effect of topical rifamycin against sternal wound infection in diabetic patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery
by clinicby clinicSummary 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.

Epicardial fat tissue predicts increased long-term major adverse cardiac event in patients with moderate cardiovascular risk
by clinicby clinicWe investigated the relationship between epicardial fat volume (EFV) measured by multislice computed tomography (MDCT) and long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Consecutive patients (n = 564) were enrolled in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into tertiles according to EFV. Patients were followed up for an average of 18 months. Patients in each tertile were similar in terms of gender and risk factors. Patients with greater EFV in the third group were more likely to be overweight (P = .001) and older (P = .001). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were relatively lower in the third tertile (45 ± 9, 45 ± 11, and 43 ± 9 mg/dL, respectively; P = .018). The third group had a significantly higher rate of myocardial infarction (0.6%, 1.1%, and 3.7%, respectively; P = .043). The incidence of MACEs during the follow-up period was highest in the third group 15.9% (4.1%, 7.7%, and 15.9%, respectively; P = .001). Epicardial fat volume measured by MDCT was associated

Relationship of coronary artery disease with pericardial and periaortic adipose tissue and their volume detected by msct
by clinicby clinicConclusions: 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).

A chosen trauma (Volkan, 1987, 2004, 2006) is the collective mental representation of an event in the history of a large group in which the group experienced catastrophic loss, humiliation, and despair at the hands of their enemies. When members of a victim group are unable to mourn such losses and reverse their humiliation and helplessness, they pass on images of their hurt selves and psychological tasks that need to be completed to their offspring.
