52-fold (P = .009). We did not find any significant relationship between eNOS G894T genotypes and alleles with susceptibility to PC. Our results highlighted the significance of CAV1-T29107A SNP but not (eNOS) G894T in the susceptibility to PC in our the population that we have studied.

9 mm to 3.3 mm (P<.001), and the median diameter increase was 50%. All but 6 treated vessels were enlarged. The stenosis-distal diameter ratio increased from a median of 64% to 89% (P<.001). The median central PA to aortic systolic pressure ratio was 47% before and 39% after intervention (P<.001).

This prospective study aimed to determine the manometric pattern and the prevalence of esophageal dysmotility in 79 morbidly obese patients selected for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. After clinical evaluation and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, high-resolution esophageal manometry was performed. The esophageal peristalsis, lower esophageal…[Read more]

The existence of a signal baseline due to a variety of reasons in a photoacoustic (PA) gas measurement system is a common phenomenon. One major component is the absorption of optical windows in an enclosed PA cell. This work explores the relation between the background signal and the thermoelastic effect inside the windows by modelling the…[Read more]
