Cancer antigen-125 levels predict long-term mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2015)
Background: Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) might be a useful biomarker to predict long-term mortality in patients with recent exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: A total of 87 consecutive ...
Association between oxidative stress index and post-CPR early mortality in cardiac arrest patients: A prospective observational study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Objective: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a series of lifesaving actions that improve the chance of survival following cardiac arrest (CA). Many clinical and laboratory parameters, such as the presence of asystole, ...
Correlation of right ventricular dysfunction on acute pulmonary embolism with pulmonary artery computed tomography obstruction index ratio (PACTOIR) and comparison with echocardiography
(SPRINGER, 2015)
The aim of this study was to determine the pulmonary artery computed tomography obstruction index ratio (PACTOIR) in patients who have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) with multi-slice computed tomography ...
Elevated gamma glutamyl transferase levels are associated with the location of acute pulmonary embolism. Cross-sectional evaluation in hospital setting
(ASSOCIACAO PAULISTA MEDICINA, 2015)
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The location of embolism is associated with clinical findings and disease severity in cases of acute pulmonary embolism. The level of gamma-glutamyl transferase increases under oxidative stress-related ...
Lymphocytopenia is associated with poor NYHA functional class in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Objective: In heart failure (HF) patients, functional capacity has been demonstrated to be a marker of poor prognosis, independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Lymphocyte count is currently recognized in ...
