The management of ACS has improved greatly over the last 3 decades, with an associated steady decline in mortality from this condition seen in the US. The benefits of advances in the management of ACS observed

in the US have not fully extended to Mexico, as thrombolytic therapy remains the most commonly used reperfusion strategy for STEMI and new antithrombotic drugs are not widely available. However, treatment of ACS in Mexico is rapidly evolving. Dual oral antiplatelet therapy with the combination Selonsertib of clopidogrel and aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is becoming the new standard of care for the management of patients with NSTEMI and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Results from controlled clinical Studies strongly support the use of early and aggressive treatment with this combination. The addition of clopidogrel to the national formulary represents S63845 an important step in the evolution of care for ACS patients in Mexico. Local and regional leadership is required to foster the widespread adoption of this highly beneficial treatment strategy. The main objectives

of this review are to highlight the recommendations of the Mexican guidelines for the management of ACS and provide some perspective regarding challenges to optimal management of ACS patients in Mexico.”
“Organic acids (oxalic, citric, galacturonic, tartaric, malic, lactic and succinic) contents of Gemlik variety olive

fruits from five different cultivation areas of South Anatolia (Turkey), harvested in six collection dates (September, October and November of crop years 2006 and 2007), were determined by HPLC/DAD. Citric acid was the major compound (similar to 45%), followed by succinic (19%) and galacturonic acids (similar to 16%). The olive fruits of Antalya location showed the lowest and Karaman, Alanya and Hatay locations had the highest levels of total organic acids, especially on the early and late harvest. Significant interactions between “location”, “harvest date” and “crop selleckchem year” were found, regarding the concentrations of citric, lactic, oxalic, tartaric and malic acid (3-way and 2-way interactions), which means that the effect of one factor (e.g. “location”) on an acid’s concentration is not constant across the levels of the other factor. For succinic and galacturonic acids’s concentrations, all interactions between the considered factors were statistically significant, except the 2-way interaction between “harvest date” and “crop year” which was no significant, meaning that the effect of factor “harvest date” on the succinic and/or on the galacturonic acid’s concentrations does not vary significantly from one level of factor “crop year” to other.
