Aim: To investigate the concentration of nitric oxide in saliva of patients with terminal stage of chronic renal failure on hemodialysis and to investigate the effect of hemodialysis on concentration of nitric oxide in saliva of the patients with terminal stage of chronic renal failure on hemodialysis.
Material And Methods: The study had a prospective character and included 60 respondents of both sexes, at age between 20 and 60 years.
Introduction: Usage of fibrinolytic therapy leads to reperfusion of the occluded coronary arteries, rescue of ventricle myocardium and successful recovery of patient.
Goal: The objective of this study was to compare the reperfusion effect of streptokinase and alteplase in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by analyzing echocardiographic parameters and post-coronarography treatment.
Patients And Methods: We observed 53 patients in AMI and divided them depending on applied therapy in streptokinase and alteplase group.
