COMPARISON OF APIXABAN VERSUS ASPIRIN FOR THE PREVENTION OF LATENT BIOPROSTHETIC AORTIC VALVE THROMBOSIS: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL

Abstract Background The optimal antithrombotic strategy early after aortic valve replacement surgery with a biological valve remains controversial due to lack of high-quality evidence.Either oral anticoagulants or acetylsalicylic acid should be considered for the first 3 months.Hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening on cardiac computed tomography has b

Research on cross-linguistic comparisons of the neural correlates of reading has consistently found that the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) is more involved in Chinese than in English.However, there is a lack of consensus on the interpretation of the language difference.Because this region has been found to be involved in writing, we hypothesize t

We investigate theoretically the effect of polymer tension on the collective behavior of reversibly binding cross-links.For this purpose, Vertex Kits we employ a model of two weakly bending wormlike chains aligned in parallel by a tensile force, with a sequence of inter-chain binding sites regularly spaced along the contours.Reversible cross-links

AbstractFluid flow is strongly affected by fractures in unconventional reservoirs.It is essential to deeply understand the flow characteristics with fractures for improving the production and efficiency of unconventional reservoir exploitation.The purpose of this work is to develop an accurate numerical model to evaluate the transient-pressure resp

Ursids (bears) in general, and giant pandas in particular, are highly altricial at birth.The components of bear milks and their changes Textiles Accessories with time may be uniquely adapted to nourish relatively immature neonates, protect them from pathogens, and support the maturation of neonatal digestive physiology.Serial milk samples collected
