In critically ill patients, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-BNP levels correlate with C-reactive protein values and leukocyte counts B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and its N-terminal portion (NT-pro-BNP) are used for the assessment of cardiac dysfunction in patients with...
31 Additionally, these conditions contribute to a reduction in peak systolic circumferential strain on CMR. Diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia can further result in a decrease in end-diastolic volume and stroke volume on CMR.31 FAPI PET imaging has mainly been studied retrospectively in ...
During the last decades, the incidence of congestive hepatopathy has decreased owing to a reduced frequency of rheumatic heart diseases or constrictive pericarditis. This decrease was also associated with a change in the most common cause of congestive hepatopathy. For instance, in a series from ...
The lending markets will remain difficult – avail- ability of debt will decrease and the cost of debt will likely increase. We expect more influence from the insurers as the banks try to navi- gate their way in the coming years - by choice or design, the banks will not return to ...
hepatic and renal dysfunction which are indicative of severe vasculopathy45,49,50as well as the presence ofinterstitial lung disease.51Both dyspnea and exercise performance have also been linked to DLco parameters.52Moreover, there is a gradual decrease in DLco associated with increasing age45in kee...
Salinity stress affects all plant processes, ranging from seed germination to root elongation and physiological, molecular, and biochemical responses. Salinity stress reduces plant vigor owing to a decrease in osmotic potential and ion toxicity. However, Zn application mitigates the harmful effects of SS...
This could partially explain the higher level of RS, especially FRS, in populations that existed in BNP on mineral islands among peat bogs in comparison to others (SKA, TUR, and WIS) surrounded by a distinct type of vegetation. Other plants may also decrease RS, competing successfully for ...
