ACE inhibitor use in heart failure: would that it were so

It Would Be Much Easier If WENT Were GOED

The paper proposes a paradigmatic approach to morphological knowledge acquisition. It addresses the problem of learning from examples rules for word-forms analysis and synthesis. These rules, established by generalizing the training data sets, are effectively used by a built-in interpreter which acts consequent ly as a morphological processor within the architecture of a natural language questi...

Plasma endothelin in congestive heart failure: effect of the ACE inhibitor, fosinopril.

OBJECTIVES The study evaluates the influence of treatment with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, fosinopril, on the plasma endothelin level in patients with congestive heart failure, and the relationship between plasma endothelin and clinical study parameters (bicycle exercise test, echocardiography, heart failure score and blood pressure). METHODS Plasma endothelin was measured in...
