Significant gender differences were noted according to initial symptoms, stress perception, exercise and nutrition.Purpose - distribution of the structure of students' morbidity and behavioral risk factors for health according to gender.766 Georgian students, aged 15 to 35 (20.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnemia and iron deficiency (ID) are important and common comorbidities that often coexist in patients with heart failure (HF). Both conditions, together or independently, are associated with poor clinical status and worse outcomes. The aim of our research was to study prevalence and clinical impact of ID and anemia in HF patients attending cardiology department of our hospital.

Final aim of this observational study was to determine correlation between localization of J point elevation and number of premature ventricular beats. The 52 patients (19-68 years old; 31 men and 21 women) were divided in two groups based on localization of J point elevation. First Group - 9 patients (5 men and 4 women) with J-point elevation ≥1 mm in ≥2 contiguous inferior and/or lateral leads on a standard 12-lead ECG reading, Second Group - other 43 (26 men and 17 women) patients with another localization of J point elevation.

Aim of this observational study was to compare number of premature ventricular beats in the different groups of patients with early repolarization. The result of this observational study shows that there are: 1,74 fold higher number of premature ventricular beats in 41-74 year subgroup VS 19-40 year subgroup; 1,31 fold higher number of premature ventricular beats in male subgroup VS female subgroup (But this difference is not statistically significant, because t=1,49, p=0,141); 2,85 fold higher number of premature ventricular beats in CAD+ERP subgroup VS ERP without CAD subgroup; 1,74 fold higher number of premature ventricular beats in HF+ERP subgroup VS ERP without HF subgroup; 1,81 fold higher number of premature ventricular beats in CAD+ERP subgroup VS CAD without ERP subgroup; 1,58 fold higher number of premature ventricular beats in HF+ERP subgroup VS HF without ERP subgroup; So, CAD+ERP is very arrhythmogenic condition, after this is HF+ERP, Then Age.

There are 36 patients (19-68 years old) with early repolarization ECG patterns.

Research goal was to reveal the association of alpha-dephenzine concentration in peripheral blood with the disease existence and its progressing (acute and chronic forms) in patients with schizophrenia. In-patients diagnosed with schizophrenia have been investigated (av.

Experiments have been carried out on 32 pubertal white rats (with body mass 220-250 g). Oxidative stress was induced through perfusion of hydrogen peroxide (with concentration - 4.
