Cardiovascular disease in cotton workers: part I.

Since 1891 the Registrar General for England and Walds has recorded high death rates from cardiovascular diseases among cotton workers. Although the health of the cotton worker has been the subject of numerous investigations, there is no other evidence of either excessive mortality or morbidity from cardiovascular disease in the cotton trades. In this paper we attempt to elucidate this problem ...

Advances in Cardiovascular Imaging Multimodality Cardiovascular Molecular Imaging, Part I

There has been a shift in emphasis from treatment of disease to the primary or secondary prevention of disease, primarily to advance human health through preservation of quality of life and improvement in survival, but also in part to control the escalating costs of health care. The prevention of disease necessitates early detection and risk stratification before the manifestation of disease, w...

An Ergodic Theory of Binary Operations - Part I: Key Properties

An open problem in polarization theory is to determine the binary operations that always lead to polarization (in the general multilevel sense) when they are used in Arıkan style constructions. This paper, which is presented in two parts, solves this problem by providing a necessary and sufficient condition for a binary operation to be polarizing. This (first) part of the paper introduces the m...
