Several mafic-ultramafic layered intrusions were emplaced in the NE Fennoscandian Shield during a magmatic episode at 2.44 Ga. The Paleoproterozoic Näränkävaara intrusion, northern Finland, is one of largest ultramafic bodies Shield, with surface area 25 km x 5 and stratigraphic thickness ~3 km. intrusion comprises 1.3 km-thick peridotitic–dioritic series (2436 ± Ma) two peridotitic reversals, ...

INTRODUCTION Current standard evaluation of Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is based on an investigator-reported classification system that is commonly unable to correctly reflect the subjective symptoms for patients. Thus more reliable methods to assess PN are needed. This study assessed alternative methods of assessing patient-reported PN in 5 North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) clinical ...

Treatment of hypertensive patients with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy with losartan-based therapy is associated with lower incidence of diabetes mellitus and greater regression of hypertrophy than atenolol-based therapy. However, whether in-treatment resolution or continued absence of electrocardiographic hypertrophy is independently associated with decreased incidence of di...

BACKGROUND Sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurs more often in patients with ECG left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. However, whether LV hypertrophy regression is associated with a reduced risk of SCD remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS The Losartan Intervention for End Point Reduction in Hypertension (LIFE) study included 9193 patients 55 to 80 years of age with essential hypertension and ECG LV...

P.D.P. Taylor Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements, European Commission – JRC, Retieseweg, 2440 Geel, Belgium Abstract The International Measurement Evaluation Programme (IMEP) attempts to shed light on the current state of the practice in chemical measurements. The main tool, which assists this attempt and also differentiates IMEP from similar projects, is the establishment of SI...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of chest circumference-adapted scanning protocol on radiation exposure and image quality in patients undergoing prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered coronary CT angiography (CCTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred-eighty-five consecutive patients, who had undergone prospective ECG triggering CCTA with a 128-slice CT, were included in the present study....

Most discussion of after-school programs in shantytowns has centered on estimating mean impacts of programs, and results are not conclusive. Previous literature provides some explanations for these mixed results but this paper provides a new channel: the effectiveness of an after-school program on students depends on their parents’ type. One can argue that those parents who live in a shantytown...

Electrocardiographic signs of left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) and T-wave axis (TA) deviation are independent predictors of fatal and non fatal events. We assessed the prevalence of ECG-LVH, TA abnormalities and their combination according to the presence or absence of diabetes and/or hypertension in a large sample of the adult general Italian population. Data from 10,184 women (54 ± 11 y...

BACKGROUND Individualizing antiplatelet therapy after platelet function testing did not improve outcome after coronary stenting in the Assessment by a Double Randomization of a Conventional Antiplatelet Strategy Versus a Monitoring-Guided Strategy for Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation and of Treatment Interruption Versus Continuation One Year After Stenting (ARCTIC) study. Whether results are dif...
