One hundred fourteen patients with variant angina performed bicycle exercise stress tests, and were divided into three groups. Group 1 included 37 patients with a normal exercise test. Coronary arteriography revealed absence of significant coronary stenoses in 18 patients, one-vessel disease in 17 and involvement of two or more vessels in two. Group 2 consisted of 40 patients who had ST-segment...

BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) manifestations of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) produce ST-segment elevation or T-wave inversion, mimicking acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We describe the ECG manifestation of TC, including ECG evolution, and its different points from ACS. METHODS We studied 37 consecutive patients (age 67 ± 15 years, range 23-89, M:F = 12:25) from March 2004 to November 201...

We describe the Molteno3 glaucoma implant, its design principles and the differences and similarities with the current generation of Molteno implant. Clinical results from 37 Molteno3 implant procedures for primary open angle glaucoma are compared with a control group of 33 pressureridge single plate Molteno implants. The results obtained in cases of primary open angle glaucoma, neovascular gla...

PURPOSE To review outcomes of 10 patients who underwent plate osteosynthesis for severe olecranon fractures. METHODS Records of 7 men and 3 women aged 33 to 73 years who underwent plate osteosynthesis for severe olecranon fractures were reviewed. All had some degree of soft-tissue injury; 6 presented with associated fractures. Seven patients were treated with a limited contact dynamic compres...

Vicariance hypotheses of Gondwanan fragmentation have been the prevailing explanation for the distributions of plant and animal taxa in the Southern Hemisphere since the widespread acceptance of plate tectonics in the late, 1960s (Bauer, 1993; Sanmartı́n & Ronquist, 2004). Recently, several molecular studies comparing the timing of cladogenic and vicariant Conservation Biology Graduate Program, ...

In the paper a feasibility study on the use of surface acoustic wave (SAW) vibration sensors for electronic warning systems is presented. The system is assembled from concatenated SAW vibration sensors based on a SAW delay line manufactured on a surface of a piezoelectric plate. Vibrations of the plate are transformed into electric signals that allow identification of the sensor and localizatio...
