Prognostic value of serum gamma glutamyl transferase activity after myocardial infarction
No full textAIMS: Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase activity (gamma-GT) is able to catalyse low-density lipoprotein oxidation and has been detected in coronary atherosclerotic plaques. gamma-GT has been documented as an independent risk factor for cardiac mortality in middle-aged men. The purpose of this study is to determine the prognostic value of gamma-GT in patients with coronary artery disease.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In a prospective study, gamma-GT and other cardiac risk factors were evaluated in 469 consecutive subjects with angiographically documented coronary artery disease, using mortality and mortality plus non-fatal myocardial infarction as end-points. gamma-GT showed an independent prognostic value beyond known established risk factors in the subgroup of 262 patients with previous myocardial infarction. At a 6-year follow-up, cardiac mortality was 25.2% in patients with gamma-GT >40 U x l(-1)vs 13.9% in those with gamma-GT 40 U x l(-1)and in 20.4% of those with levels 40 U x l(-1), previous myocardial infarction, and multiple vessel disease identified a subgroup of 168 patients with the highest risk of cardiac events at 6 years (P=0.024). The relationship between gamma-GT levels and cardiac events remained significant after adjustment for cardiac risk factors, and possible confounders, including alcohol consumption. gamma-GT did not show significant prognostic value in the 207 patients without previous myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSION: gamma-GT is an independent cardiac risk factor in ischaemic patients with established coronary atherosclerosis and previous myocardial infarction
Analisis Desain Kemasan Produ Kkue Kering Titta Snack Diharapan Raya Kota Pekanbaru
No full textThis study aims to analyze the packaging design of the Titta Snack Cookies product in assessing the feasibility of the packaging design, the author only focuses on product packaging. The assessment indicators used include graphic design, design structure, and product information. Furthermore, the method used in this study uses quantitative research methods, namely methods based on the philosophy of positivism are used to examine certain populations or samples, sampling techniques are carried out randomly.Data collection techniques using methods using interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The data collection technique uses a Likert scale, in assessing the highest answer, strongly agrees, a score of 5 is made and strongly disagrees is given a score of 1. The analysis is carried out as on the Likert scale. Based on the analysis of the assessment indicators carried out, namely the packaging design of the Titta Snack Cookies product is feasible and acceptable to consumers
