There is evidence that intravenous nitrates which are frequently used in acute coronary syndromes may interfere with the anticoagulant effect of heparin. We compared the effect of two different nitrate preparations on the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), anti-thrombin III activity (AT III) and plasma heparin levels in patients (n = 50) undergoing routine percutaneous transluminal c...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(6)H(12)N(4)O(3))(2)](NO(3))(2)·4H(2)O, the Ni(II) cation is located on an inversion center and is N,O,O'-chelated by two nitrilo-tris-(acetamide) mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The complex cations, nitrate anions and lattice water mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.

A rheumatoid arthritis patient was treated for two years with methotrexate and leflunomide combination therapy. The evolution was uneventful until she had clopidogrel, simvastatin, isosorbide, aspirin and omeprazole added to medication due to acute myocardial infarction. Four weeks after this, she was hospitalized with severe leukopenia.

Key words: continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis; 100 mg q.d., isosorbide dinitrate 10 mg t.i.d., nifedipine (CoractenB) 20 mg b.i.d., and potassium chloride peritonitis; ischaemic bowel disease (Slow-KB) 8 mmol b.i.d. When excessive fluid accumulation with facial and leg oedema developed, she had more frequent exchange of high-glucose concentration

The thermal and mechanical properties of two types of polyester nanofiber, poly (1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene isosorbide terephthalate) (PICT) copolymers and the terpolyester of isosorbide, ethylene glycol, 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol, and terephthalic acid (PEICT), were investigated. This is the first attempt to fabricate PICT nanofiber via the electrospinning method; comparison with PEICT nanofi...
