Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effects of high-risk coronary artery plaques on late luminal narrowing and clinical events in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
- Over one year, the coronary artery lumen area decreased notably, especially in specific types of plaques, such as thin-cap and thick-cap fibroatheromas.
- Thin-cap fibroatheroma presence was linked to a higher risk of needing further revascularization procedures after ischemia, while no significant connection was found between coronary artery calcium levels and clinical outcomes within three years.
Betong chicken (KU line) is a slow-growing Thai native chicken used for meat production. The objectives of this study were to identify polymorphisms of the calpain1 (CAPN1) and calpain3 (CAPN3) genes and to investigate their effects on growth, carcass, and meat quality traits in Betong chickens (KU line). A sample of 252 Betong chickens (KU line) was screened for CAPN1 and CAPN3 polymorphisms.
