Background It is unclear if type-2 inflammation is associated with accelerated lung function decline in individuals with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested the ...
Figure 1. Exercise/rest measurements of the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) are used with an exponential calibration function to estimate myocardial flow reserve (MFR). This allows (i) the ...
Introduction: Although an estimated 54% of patients with heart failure (HF) and chronic pain report high symptom-associated distress, it is unclear whether pain predicts reduced physical function, ...
ABSTRACT: The Muslim community in Malaysia consists of various ethnicities and races. Some have embraced Islam since birth, and it is a religion inherited from their forefathers, but some embrace ...
