The Effectiveness of Mobile Cloud 12-Lead Electrocardiogram Transmission System in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

: Delay of reperfusion therapy is related to high mortality in cases of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Guidelines emphasize that the first-medical-contact-to-balloon (FMCTB) time should be within 90 min. A mobile cloud-based 12-lead electrocardiogram (MC-ECG) transmission system might be useful in such cases, especially in rural areas.

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 knockout mice exhibit enhanced energy expenditure through thermogenesis.

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate matrix metalloproteinase activity and maintain extracellular matrix homeostasis. Although TIMP-3 has multiple functions (e.g.

Level of serum antibody against a periodontal pathogen is associated with atherosclerosis and hypertension.

Inflammation has a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, which causes hypertension. Results from some studies have suggested links between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis, but links between periodontal disease and hypertension have been seldom studied. We investigated whether periodontal disease and serum antibody level were associated with hypertension.
