Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: AP3 showed acceptable accuracy for classifying postures, however estimates of time spent standing were consistently overestimated and individual error was considerable, however Estimates of sitting/lying were more accurate for 9–12y and Estimates of standing were significantly overestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ability of risk scores to predict a low complication risk in patients admitted for suspected acute coronary syndrome
TL;DR: The GRACE and FFE scores are able to predict low complication risks in patients with chest pain admitted for suspected ACS, but only the GRACE score may be able to identify a significant number of patients at almost no risk of complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased expression of endothelin ET B and angiotensin AT 1 receptors in peripheral resistance arteries of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
TL;DR: The results indicate that the expression of arterial smooth muscle ETB and AT1 receptors are increased in patients with suspected but ruled out acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines, IgM-uria and cardiovascular events in patients with chest pain: A comparative study.
TL;DR: In patients with chest pain with or without acute coronary syndrome, IgM-uria could better predict the occurrence of cardiovascular events than plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Overall PA, moderate, vigorous, and moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) objectively measured among pregnant women and their correlates in a population‐based study indicated low levels of PA among pregnantWomen.
