Background: Heart rate is a determinant of myocardial oxygen demand and in myocardial infarction it is related to mortality. Ivabradine is a pure cardiac agent that reduces speed and has no effect on blood pressure and contractility and can reverse left ventricular remodeling. B-blockers in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) are indicated for patients without a contraindication, particularly in patients with high heart rate or blood pressure. Epidemiological studies have shown that the increase in CF represents a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity.

Introduction: Specialty training for surgical treatment of congenital cardiac diseases which are among the cardiovascular diseases with a wide spectrum is provided as a minor training today. In Turkey, pediatric cardiovascular surgery minor is a two-year training following cardiovascular specialty. Material and Method: Surgeries attended by a cardiovascular surgery specialist during pediatric cardiovascular surgery minor training between 20 March 2015 and 7 July 2017 were examined in detail in our study.

Background: A pilot study in utility of passiflora incarnate tincture in General Anxiety Disorder. General anxiety disorder is the most common anxiety disorder but is generally less severe than panic disorder. The study was performed on 30 out patients diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder using DSM IV criteria. Patients were allocated in a random fashion. Passiflora tincture 15 drops per day at bed time up to six month. The results suggest that passiflora incarnate tincture is an effective drug for the management of generalized anxiety disorder.

We report an interesting case of the longest gallbladder ever removed through laparoscopy for a gall stone disease from Arabian Peninsula. Gallbladder measured 20 cms in length with a single large stone about 3.5cm in size. This has been the longest gallbladder ever reported from the Arabian Peninsula to our knowledge in the medical literature. However, the longest gallbladder of 30 cm size, for a case of mucocele gallbladder removed by Rahul Yadav et al. from Rajasthan in India1.

Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery has certain technical limitations like loss of three-dimensional perception, a relatively limited and fixed view of operative field, indirect contact with intraabdominal structures, and limited tactile feedback during dissection and manipulation of tissues. This makes operation difficult sometimes and leads to conversion to open cholecystectomy. AIM: The aim of the study was to study the intraoperative difficulties in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

While in some parts of the world, strategic resources are scattered, in others people cannot even satisfy their basic needs. Changing consumer behavior is a process that requires a large number of social groups, specialists, institutions, industries, and so on. In addition to private households, one of the major consumer groups, there is the economy, institutions, armies, authorities, NGOs and many other groups, of large direct or indirect consumption of natural resources. We present some of the research data.

Back ground: Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has important health implications for the mother and infant, including fetal hypovitaminosis D, neonatal rickets and tetany, infantile rickets. Recent studies, in many countries, have shown that low maternal vitamin D status is common during pregnancy, the magnitude of which warrants public health intervention. Aims: To prospectively assess the vitamin D nutritive status in pregnant women in Kashmir Valley and to study the prevalence of suboptimal vitamin D status in apparently healthy pregnant Kashmiri women.

Background: Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease determined by homozygous hemoglobin S. It is marked by clinical variability depending on some factors such as the haplotypes associated with the globin βS gene. Objective: This investigation was undertaken to characterize the haplotypes of the βS gene in people with sickle cell anemia assisted in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

Background: Self-medication is popularly practiced worldwide, especially on fever and some chronic conditions. However, deaths and adverse effects have been reported due to poor practices. In malaria endemic areas, caregivers with children under five years practice self-medication however, the practice is poorly understood. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 201 caregivers with children under five years and 10 health care workers at Kabondo-Kasipul Sub-County Hospital in Homa-bay County, Kenya.

The new conception relating to existence of the membrane redoxy potential three state dependent 9 stepped full cycle of proton conductance eventually describes the continuity of proton conductance inside human body, starting from food substates, containing sum of electron, protons, ending by erythrocyte membrane surroundings containing last portions of protons, released from food under action of oxygens passing previous 9 stages.
