177, 0.946), all-cause death (RR 0.441; 95% CI 0.263, 0.739), MI (RR 0.554; 95% CI 0.414, 0.741) and stent thrombosis (RR 0.587; 95% CI 0.348, 0.988) than the latter patient group. The risk of stroke was not significantly different between patients receiving the alternatives and those receiving clopidogrel (RR 0.605; 95% CI 0.257, 1.425). Major…[Read more]

Background Alternative splicing (AS) is a key factor in protein-coding gene diversity, and is associated with the development and progression of malignant tumours. However, the role of AS in cervical cancer is unclear. Methods The AS data for cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) were downloaded from The Cancer…[Read more]

Target non-IRAs with MACE had lower FFR compared with those without (0.78 vs. 0.84, respectively; p  less then  0.001). The median FFR of non-IRAs with TVR was lower than that of those without (0.79 vs. 0.85, respectively; p  less then  0.001). The difference was significant in all vessels. The median FFR of target non-IRAs with MI was lower than…[Read more]

CONCLUSION Communicating risk is complex and validated patient decision aids using visual aids, presenting essential information, using knowledge checks, and incorporating values clarification can reduce decisional conflict and improve decisional self-efficacy. OBJECTIVE The goal of a vaccine is to prime the immune response so the immune memory…[Read more]
