Background Despite recent studies, the optimum duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)
after coronary drug-eluting stent placement remains uncertain. We performed a meta-…

Aim We sought to determine whether the optimal dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration
after drug-eluting stent (DES) placement varies according to clinical presentation. Methods …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of biodegradable-polymer
(BP) drug-eluting stents (DES), bare metal stents (BMS), and durable-polymer DES …

This new edition provides an updated approach for students, engineers, and researchers to
apply numerical methods for solving problems using MATLAB® This accessible book makes …

Background Bone-marrow stem-cell transplantation has been shown to improve cardiac
function in patients with myocardial infarction. We examined the feasibility and efficacy of …

The presence of galactose α-1,3-galactose residues on the surface of pig cells is a major
obstacle to successful xenotransplantation. Here, we report the production of four live pigs in …

Electrooxidation of methanol in sulfuric acid solution was studied using Pt, Pt/Ni(1:1 and 3:1),
Pt/Ru/Ni(5:4:1 and 6:3.5:0.5), and Pt/Ru(1:1) alloy nanoparticle catalysts, in relation to …

Background— The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after implantation of
drug-eluting coronary stents remains undetermined. We aimed to test whether 6-month …

Purpose When designing this trial, there was no evidence that salvage chemotherapy (SLC)
in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) resulted in substantial prolongation of survival when …

To assess the histological response and the reinforcing effects of bone ingrowth within
porous hydroxyapatite (HA) implants depending on pore geometry, four kinds of cylindrical-type …
