abstract：BACKGROUND:Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) has proved to be efficient in restoring glutamine (Gln) pools which are strongly depleted in hypercatabolic patients. Since its two components, alpha-ketoglutarate (alphaKG) and ornithine (Orn), give rise to glutamate (Glu), they are both considered as Gln precursors. The ...

abstract：:Arrhythmias are extremely common early after AMI. An arrhythmia is defined by exclusion, either because the sequence of myocardial depolarisation is other than normal or because certain arbitrary limits are exceeded. It follows that the term "arrhythmia" encompasses a complex heterogenous group. Although arrhythmias a...
