Permanent pacemaker implantation after aortic valve replacement: Long-term depe...

Introduction Conduction disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PM) implantation occur in 3-12% of patients after aortic valve replacement (AVR). Our aim was to assess long-term PM dependency and its predictors in these patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of all consecutive patients undergoing permanent PM implantation after AVR between January 2004 and December 2010. Absence of sinus rhyth...

Prognosis value of p53, C-erB-2 and Ki67 proteins in ovarian carcinoma.

The prognosis in ovarian carcinoma remains poor. We need to identify patients who are less likely to respond to treatment. In order to evaluate the prognostic value of C-erb-B2, p53 and Ki 67 expression and correlate these markers with classic prognostic factors, we studied paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from 81 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and made a quantitative evaluation of C-erb-B2, p53 and Ki 6...
