Detection of Malicious Threats Exploiting Clock-Gating Hardware Using Machine Learning.

Embedded system technologies are increasingly being incorporated into manufacturing, smart grid, industrial control systems, and transportation systems. However, the vast majority of today's embedded platforms lack the support of built-in security features which makes such systems highly vulnerable to a wide range of cyber-attacks. Specifically, they are vulnerable to malware injection code that targets the power distribution system of an ARM Cortex-M-based microcontroller chipset (ARM, Cambridge, UK).

Smart Transportation: An Overview of Technologies and Applications.

As technology continues to evolve, our society is becoming enriched with more intelligent devices that help us perform our daily activities more efficiently and effectively. One of the most significant technological advancements of our time is the Internet of Things (IoT), which interconnects various smart devices (such as smart mobiles, intelligent refrigerators, smartwatches, smart fire alarms, smart door locks, and many more) allowing them to communicate with each other and exchange data seamlessly. We now use IoT technology to carry out our daily activities, for example, transportation.

Associations of non-HDL-C and triglyceride/HDL-C ratio with coronary plaque burden and plaque characteristics in young adults.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is uncommon in young adult patients. However, these patients have different risk factor profiles and high-risk coronary plaques are more common. The aim of this study was to examine the relations between the coronary plaque burden, plaque composition, serum non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels, and triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in young adults.

Successful Treatment of a Patient with Cardiac Arrest Due to Hyperkalemia by Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation along with Hemodialysis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Severe hyperkalemia is a potentially life threatening cardiac emergency, especially in patients with renal failure, and can lead to fatal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or asystole, leading to cardiac arrest. We report a case of a 39-year-old woman who developed sudden cardiac arrest secondary to hyperkalemia (9.95 mEq/L) with renal insufficiency.

Acute coronary syndrome because of a scorpion sting in a patient with chronic coronary syndrome: A case report and review of the literature.

The occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following a scorpion sting has been very rarely reported in literature, and most of the cases presented had a normal coronary angiogram. The possible pathogenetic mechanisms include imbalance in blood pressure and coronary spasm caused by a combination of sympathetic excitation with subsequent thrombosis of coronary vessels developed after the release of vasoactive, inflammatory, and thrombogenic substances contained in the scorpion venom. In this report, we present a case of a scorpion sting complicated by ACS, called Kounis syndrome (KS).

Can NLR, PLR and LMR be used as prognostic indicators in patients with pulmonary embolism? Author's reply on commentary.

We appreciate the comments made by Dr Bedel and colleagues. NLR, PLR and LMR are affected by various diseases such as oncological, collagen tissue, inflammatory, or severe renal/liver diseases [1]. Because of this, we have listed some of the above-mentioned disorders in the tables.

Prognostic role of NLR, PLR, and LMR in patients with pulmonary embolism.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. New biological markers are being investigated for estimating the prognosis of PE patients. Since PE is closely associated with inflammatory status, the neutrophil-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte (PLR), and lymphocyte-monocyte (LMR) ratios were suggested to be useful in predicting patient outcomes.

Predictors of slow flow in angiographically normal coronary arteries.

Introduction: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is a well-known angiographic finding; however, the pathophysiology of SCF remains only partially understood. In this study, we have examined the risk factors of slow coronary flow.

Methods: Seventy patients with angiographically proven SCF were studied along with 60 control participants.

Relation of platelet indices to severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Aim: We investigated the association between platelet indices and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).

Methods: A total of 484 consecutive patients who were routinely referred to coronary angiography for STEMI and 81 age- and gender-matched patients with normal coronary arteries were included in the present study. We analyzed the relation between the platelet distribution width (PDW) and the angiographic severity of CAD.
