Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease Large scale studies have been undertaken to find the risk factors for many common diseases‚ including CVD. Epidemiologists (scientists who study patterns in the occurrence of disease) look for correlations between a disease and specific risk factors. Two commonly used designs for this type of study are; • Cohort studies- a group of people are followed over time to see who develops a disease • Case control studies- a group of people who have the disease

INTRODUCTION Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that causes respiratory tract infections. The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)‚ discovered in 1956‚ is capable of causing a broad spectrum of illnesses. In 1956‚ Morris and colleagues initially isolated RSV from chimpanzees with upper respiratory tract (URT) infections as the causative agent of most epidemic bronchiolitis cases. Subsequently‚ Channock et al (1956) associated this agent with bronchiolitis and lower respiratory tract (LRT) infection
