Synopsis:

This research is aimed to explore the effects of low-dose bisoprolol on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and ventricular remodelling and found that Bisoprolol can inhibit the RAAS and reverse ventricular remodelling.

Comparison of Indices between PCOS and Non-PCOS Patients in Assisted Reproduction

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.012

Synopsis:

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients are always infertile, but could have progenies by assisted reproductive technology (ART). Polycystic ovary syndrome patients have abnormal hormonal levels, and higher body mass index (BMI) than non-PCOS patients statistically. Although PCOS patients showed no advantages in ART, their babies had no risks in general characteristics compared to non-PCOS patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients are infertile in most cases, but could have progenies through assisted reproductive technology (ART). Birth weight, which has been extensively investigated recently, were used as an indicator of ART risks in offspring.

Methods: Characters of PCOS patients and their babies were compared with non-PCOS ones.

The Clinical Significance of DNA Ploidy Analysis in Patients with Rectal Carcinoma and Precancerous Lesion

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 3: 2016

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.437

Pages:

551-6

Synopsis:

In this study, we explored the clinical significance of DNA ploidy analysis in rectal carcinoma and precancerous lesions. In conclusion, DNA ploidy analysis could be a valuable tool to evaluate the proliferation status and malignant degree of rectal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: In recent years, DNA ploidy analysis is regarded to migh have important values in diagnosis and prognostic judgment of malignant tumor. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical significance of DNA ploidy analysis in patients with rectal carcinoma and its precancerous lesions.

Radiographic Anatomy and Calcaneal Width Measurements on Tangential View

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 2: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.357

Pages:

197–201

Synopsis:

Tangential calcaneal X-rays were performed on 30 patients with fractured calcaneus and 57 control individuals with normal calcaneus. Results demonstrated that tangential X-ray view of the calcaneus can be used to evaluate its radiographic anatomy and to measure its width.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To investigate the radiographic anatomical characters of the bones in the fractured calcaneus by using tangential X-rays.
