Is There Any Relationship between TSH Levels and Prognosis in Acute Coronary Sy...
Soeiro,Alexandre de Matos; Araújo,Victor Arrais; Vella,Júlia Pitombo; Bossa,Aline Siqueira; Biselli,Bruno; Leal,Tatiana de Carvalho Andreucci TorresAbstract Background: Some small studies have related higher levels of thyrotropin (TSH) to potentially worse prognosis in acute coronary syndromes. However, this relationship remains uncertain. Objective: To analyze the outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes in relation to the value of TSH at admission. Methods: Observational and retrospective study with 505 patients (446 in group I [TSH ≤ 4 mIU/L] ...
Material properties and in vitro biocompatibility of a newly developed bone cement
Mitzner,Elke; Pelt,Paco Albertus Hubert Maria; Mueller,Christian; Strohwig,Angela; Mueller,Wolf-DieterIn this study mechanical properties and biocompatibility (In Vitro) of a new bone cement were investigated. A new platform technology named COOL is a variable composite of dissolved, chemically modified PMMA and different bioceramics. COOL cures at body temperature via a classical cementation reaction. Compressive strengths ranging from 3.6 ± 0.8 to 62.8 ± 1.3 MPa and bending strengths ranging from 9.9 ± 2.4 to...
