ABSTRACT The pairwise comparison technique is a building block of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which has been popularly used for multicriteria decision analysis. This paper develops a shortcut technique in which only n paired comparisons forming a closed chain are needed for n decision elements. Together with the development of a simple and intuitive measure of (inconsistency, this technique derives the relative weights of decision elements via easy step‐by‐step calculations on a spread

Simultaneous insertion of a DPC, particularly under fluoroscopy guidance, can be considered as a preventive strategy for limb ischemia in femorally cannulated patients on VA-ECMO.

Postinfarct fever could predict advanced myocardial injury and less salvaged myocardium in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Little is known about causality and the pathological mechanism underlying the association of serum lactate with myocardial injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We evaluated data from 360 AMI patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Of these, 119 patients had serum lactate levels > 2.5 mmol/L on admission (high serum lactate group), whereas 241 patients had serum lactate levels ≤ 2.5 mmol/L (low serum

Limited data are available on the association between low-flow time and survival in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) who undergo extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). We evaluated data from 183 IHCA patients who underwent ECPR as a rescue procedure. Patients were divided into two groups: patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as an adjunct to standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation for less than 38 min (<i>n</i> = 110) or for longer than 38 min (<i>n

An rSS≤12 after PCI may reduce the risk of cardiac mortality and could be a measure of reasonable incomplete revascularisation in patients with CTO and multivessel CAD.

In this study, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor module and software algorithm were developed to identify anomalous kicks that should not be given scores in Taekwondo competitions. The IMU sensor module was manufactured with dimensions of 3 cm × 3 cm × 1.5 cm and consists of a high-g sensor for high acceleration measurement, a 9-DOF sensor, and a Wi-Fi module for wireless communication. In the experiment, anomalous kicks and normal kicks were collected by the IMU sensor module, and an AI

In patients with a Medina 0,0,1 type bifurcation lesion, the 2-stent technique seems to be associated with a better clinical outcome compared with the 1-stent technique. These findings need to be confirmed in randomized controlled trials.

In 2005 Kadiri proved that the Riemann zeta function <TEX>${\zeta}(s)$</TEX> does not vanish in the region <TEX>$$Re(s){\geq}1-\frac{1}{R_0\;{\log}\;{\mid}Im(s){\mid}},\;{\mid}Im(s){\mid}{\geq}2$$</TEX> with <TEX>$R_0=5.69693$</TEX>. In this paper we will show that <TEX>$R_0$</TEX> can be taken <TEX>$R_0=5.68371$</TEX> using Kadiri's method together with Platt's numerical verification of Riemann Hypothesis.
