Complete Versus Incomplete Revascularization in Elderly Patients With Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality in the United States, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is established as the standard after an acute episode of CAD. This review assessed the use of complete revascularization (CR) or incomplete revascularization (IR) in older adults, who present a higher cardiovascular risk. The aim is to define the effectiveness of both procedures in this population, focusing on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), myocardial infarction (MI), and all-cause mortality (ACM).

Latin-American guidelines of recommendations at discharge from an acute coronary syndrome.

The diagnostic criteria, treatments at the time of admission, and drugs used in patients with acute coronary syndrome are well defined in countless guidelines. However, there is uncertainty about the measures to recommend during patient discharge planning. This document brings together the most recent evidence and the standardized and optimal treatment for patients at the time of discharge from hospitalization for an acute coronary syndrome, for comprehensive and safe care in the patient's transition between care from the acute event to the outpatient care, with the aim of optimizing the recovery of viable myocardium, guaranteeing the most appropriate secondary prevention, reducing the risk of a new coronary event and mortality, as well as the adequate reintegration of patients into daily life.

Mining, Colonial Legacies, and Neoliberalism: A Political Ecology of Health Knowledge : Minerıa, legados coloniales y neoliberalismo: una ecologıa polıtica del conocimiento en salud.

Scholarship on the health impacts of resource extraction displays prominent gaps and apparent corporate and neocolonial footprints that raise questions about how science is produced. We analyze production of knowledge, on the health impacts of mining, carried out in relation to the Canadian International Resources and Development Institute (CIRDI), a university-based organization with substantial extractive industry involvement and links to Canada's mining-dominated foreign policy. We use a "political ecology of knowledge" framework to situate CIRDI in the context of neoliberal capitalism, neocolonial sustainable development discourses, and mining industry corporate social responsibility techniques.

Isolation of Antibacterial Hydrolysates from Hen Egg White Lysozyme and Identification of Antibacterial Peptides.

Native and heated hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) hydrolysates were isolated by hydrolysis with pepsin at pH 2.0 in situ in a cation exchange membrane to isolate and identify antibacterial peptides of the HEWL hydrolysates. Native and heated HEWL was partially hydrolyzed with pepsin at pH 2.

Successful treatment of recalcitrant candidal intertrigo with Dr Michaels® (Fungatinex®) product family.

Candidal intertrigo is an infection of the skin caused by Candida albicans that typically occurs in opposing cutaneous or muco-cutaneous surfaces. Because Candidiasis requires a damaged and moist environment for infection, it typically occurs in areas of friction such as the skin folds of the body. Candidal intertrigo is often difficult to treat and results are often unsatisfactory.
