Abstract

To investigate the diagnostic performance of coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography for selecting candidates for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery according to the 2011 American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for CABG surgery and determine the added value of SYNTAX (Synergy between PCI with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) scoring for selecting CABG surgery candidates. Approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was waived for this retrospective study. A total of 399 patients (mean age, 63.8 years; 244 men and 155 women) who underwent both coronary CT angiography and invasive coronary angiography were included. Eligible criteria for CABG surgery were established on the basis of the 2011 ACCF/AHA guidelines. from coronary CT angiography and invasive coronary angiography were retrospectively reviewed, and SYNTAX scores were determined. The diagnostic performance of coronary CT angiography for selecting CABG surgery candidates was calculated with invasive coronary angiography as the reference method. The diagnostic performance of coronary CT angiography alone, the CT-based SYNTAX score, and the combined coronary CT angiography ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
