France has more early deaths than Britain

Early blood chemistry in Britain and France.

I review here key research in the early years of the field of blood chemistry. The review includes successes and limitations of animal chemistry in the critical period of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Eighteenth century medical theories emphasized the primacy of body solids. Body fluids were governed by the tenets of humoral pathology. After Boerhaave sparked interest in the chemistr...

Has atorvastatin more than a DUAAL face?

The search for potent and efficacious inhibitors of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase (HMGRIs) has long been the focus of considerable research. Atorvastatin calcium, one of the first synthetically designed HMGRIs, was created in 1985 and, due to a large number of trials showing positive clinical effect, especially in the field of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), has since obtained a leading role in ...

Indirect MRA has More Diagnostic Value than Conventional MRI in Partial and Subscapularis Tears of Rotator Cuff

Background and purpose: Determining the severity and site of rotator cuff tear (RCT) is very important for choosing a treatment method. In this study, the diagnostic value of indirect magnetic resonance arthrography (I-MRA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were compared. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 36 patients attending an orthopedic clinic in 2020. P...

Programmable Logic Has More Computational Power than Fixed Logic

In 1964, Elgot and Robinson introduced the Random-Access Stored Program (RASP) machine model “to capture some of the most salient features of the central processing unit of a modern digital computer.” After four decades of progress in computer science, this model is now somewhat outdated. Intriguingly though, the 1964 paper presented two theorems showing that programs of ‘finitely determined’ i...
