Objective: To assess gender differences among patients subjected to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) according to data of the "Register of performed operations of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)".

Materials And Methods: The Register was conducted from 1996 to 2012 years and comprised 4890 patients (4121 men and 769 women).

Results: Women compared to men were older (58.2+/-8.6 vs 53.4+/-8.3 years; <0.001), had higher body mass index (31.4+/-5.3 vs 29.0+/-4.4 kg/m2; <0.001), level of total cholesterol (5.6+/-1.5 vs 5.3+/-1.3 mmol/l%; <0.001), systolic (141.1+/-22.2 vs 135.1+/-20.8 mmHg, <0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (86.5+/-11.8 vs 85.4+/-12.0 mmHg; =0.014). Compared to male cohort females more often had diabetes mellitus (22.5% vs 10.0%; <0.001), arterial hypertension (92.1 vs 75.6%; <0.001), family history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (31.3 vs 23.4%; <0.001). Moreover, severe functional classes of effort angina (class III-IV 62.8 vs 50.0%; <0.001) and heart failure (NYHA class III-IV 28.1 vs 13.4%; <0.001) were more often detected in women. In men more frequent were smoking (45.4 vs 9.9%; <0.001), alcohol consumption (26.6 vs 9.0%; <0.001) and history of myocardial infarction (51.8 vs 40.2%; <0.001). Linear heart dimensions were larger in men. Men had more severe left ventricular (LV) asynergy (15.9+/-15.1 vs 13.7+/-14.7%; <0.001) and lower LV ejection fraction (54.5+/-8.7 vs 55.4+/-8.6 %; =0.03). As compared with men, portion of women subjected to primary PTCA was higher (14.3 vs 9.2%; <0.001), likewise coronary stenting was more often performed in women (93.6 vs 88.5%; <0.001). Optimal angiographic results were more frequently achieved in women (97.9 vs 96.4%; =0.04). Incidence of post-punctional hematoma was higher in female cohort (15.0 vs 4.6%; <0.001). There were no significant differences between men and women in post-operative mortality and rate of major adverse noncardiac events after primary and planned PTCA.

Conclusion: Despite the detected clinical, functional, and echocardiographic gender differences both for men and women PCI was safe and highly efficient method of IHD treatment.

Analyzing microbial samples remains computationally challenging due to their diversity and complexity. The lack of robust de novo protein function prediction methods exacerbates the difficulty in deriving functional insights from these samples. Traditional prediction methods, dependent on homology and sequence similarity, often fail to predict functions for novel proteins and proteins without known homologs.

Online vibration state identification of multi-rigid-body system based on self-healing model.

Sci Rep

December 2024

School of Mechanical Engineering, Liaoning Engineering Vocational College, Tieling, 112008, Liaoning, People's Republic of China.

The paper proposes a multi-rigid-body system state identification method based on self-healing model in order to improve the accuracy and reliability of CNC machine tools. Firstly, considering the influence of the joint surface, the Lagrange method is used to establish the mechanical model of the multi-rigid-body system. We input acceleration information and use the second-order modulation function to complete the online real-time identification of the joint surface parameters, thereby establishing the self-healing mechanical model of the multi-rigid-body system.

Spherical tanks have been predominantly used in process industries due to their large storage capability. The fundamental challenges in process industries require a very efficient controller to control the various process parameters owing to their nonlinear behavior. The current research work in this paper aims to propose the Approximate Generalized Time Moments (AGTM) optimization technique for designing Fractional-Order PI (FOPI) and Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controllers for the nonlinear Single Spherical Tank Liquid Level System (SSTLLS).

The safety and reliability of rotating machinery hinge significantly on the proper functioning of rolling bearings. In the last few years, there have been significant advances in the algorithms for intelligent fault diagnosis of bearings. However, the vibration signals collected by machines are inevitably affected by irrelevant noise because of the complex working environments of bearings.
