Objective: Despite significant advances in understanding hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in recent years, there is a need to improve risk stratification for patients at high risk of adverse outcomes. The relationship between inflammation and disease severity in HCM patients is known. Recently, a new inflammation parameter called the pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) has been introduced.

For this purpose, larvae from 1183 hives and adult bees from 1196 hives were sampled from 400 apiaries in 40 provinces. The prevalence of viral infections in hives was as follows: acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), 6.

This is particularly true for more than 900 rare diseases including orodental developmental anomalies such as missing teeth. However, if left untreated, their symptoms can become significant and disabling for the patient. Early detection and rapid management are therefore essential in this context.

Additionally, this research intends to develop mathematical equations that may be utilized to estimate permeability in uncored sections of the same well or in other wells where core samples are unavailable. The analysis focused on the pore hole records of ten wells that were drilled in MWD Field.

Background: The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) risk- sudden cardiac death (SCD) model provides a convenient tool for determining the risk of SCD in patients with HCM even though some patients with low-risk scores still remain at risk of SCD. Hence, the aim of our study was to assess the performance of HCM Risk-SCD in a large series of consecutive patients with HCM who had been followed up in a tertiary center.
Methods: The study population consisted of 389 consecutive HCM patients who had been followed up between 2004 and 2021.
