Preponderance of West Winds

A preponderance of evidence is sufficient.

Awareness of a problem is the first step toward finding solutions. The nephrology community is increasingly aware of the extraordinary morbid and mortal risks within the first year of renal replacement therapy (RRT), especially with in-center dialysis. However, this awareness has not yet been substantially translated to universal or even regional changes in care of patients—changes designed to ...

[Unipolar mania: a distinct entity or characteristic of manic preponderance?].

OBJECTIVE It has been reported that fewer patients with unipolar mania respond to lithium prophylaxis as do those with classical bipolar disorder. This study aimed to determine if the difference to response to lithium is related to unipolar mania or to a high preponderance of mania during the course of bipolarity. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included bipolar-I patients (according to DSM-I...

Pharmacotherapy of Schizophrenic Patients: Preponderance of Off-Label Drug Use

Multiple drug class combinations are often prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia, although antipsychotic monotherapy reflects FDA labeling and scientific justification for combinations is highly variable. This study was performed to gain current data regarding drug treatment of schizophrenia as practiced in the community and to assess the frequencies of off-label drug class combinations...

Photoionization of Disk Winds

The disk-wind model suggests that the broad emission lines of a quasar are emitted from the surface of the accretion disk feeding the central black hole. In this paper, we assume that a line-driven wind emerges from the illuminated face of the disk and calculate the line emission produced by this wind. The location and mass-loss rate of the wind are determined by the physics of the line driving...
