Studies on Digitalis VI

T IS undisputed that the administration of digitalis to patients with many forms of congestive heart failure results in an improvement in both the clinical state and in the abnormal circulatory dynamics that are characteristic of heart failure.'-6 The effects of digitalis in subjects without heart failure are less well defined. Although some glycosides augment the contractile force of nonfailin...

Polarographic Studies of Human Blood Sera

R. BrdiEka, in 1937, in a note to the editor of Nature (1), reported the application of the polarographic method to cancer diagnosis, through the measurement of certain sulphur-containing amino acids present in the proteins in human blood serum. Brdicka made tests on the serum from 67 different persons; 32 of these gave an abnormally low polarographic protein effect. These 32 cases were shown b...

CHARACTERISATION OF FINITE LENGTH COMPOSITES: Part VI-Rheological studies of materials based on the polypropylene matrix

A range of rheological and morphological techniques, contributed by nine laboratories, are used to characterise the flow behaviour in a model long fiber reinforced thermoplastic system. It is concluded that in capillary rheometry, the pressure drop fluctuations that typifl the flow arise from two mechanisms, that of local fiber fraction inhomogeneity passing through the die, and the instability...
