We wish to report a case of lymphangioleiomyomatosis in an 86-yr-old female who presented with acute breathlessness on a background of increasing dyspnoea over a 3-yr period. She had been told that she had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 2 yrs prior to this presentation, despite having never smoked. At the time of admission she was taking regular nebulised salbutamol but no other respirat...

soon after cardiac transplantation, but the recipient patients seldom show a postoperative precordial murmur attributable to valve dysfunction. This is not surprising, because mild forms of valvular regurgitation detected by Doppler are often clinically inaudiblee5 Overt signs of tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular failure were observed in 2 patients with residual postoperative pulmon...

The oxygen gas electrode has been studied for a number of mixed conducting oxide surface layers on top of GdpZr20 P (TGZO) solid electrolytes. In part II of this paper we present the results of frequency dispers on measurements for the electrode reaction, supplying additional information to the results of current-overvoltage experiments presented in part I. For both kinds of experiments the sam...
