AIM To establish whether ECG findings are associated with subsequent risk of sudden death from coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS AND RESULTS Potential risk factors for CHD were measured at entry to the first Northwick Park Heart Study of 2167 men. ECG findings were coded as high or low risk for CHD according to definitions in the Minnesota code. Sudden or non-sudden deaths were defined as...

The one-dimensional XXZ model is studied in the presence of disorder in the Heisenberg Exchange Integral. Recent predictions obtained from renormalization group calculations are investigated numerically using a Lanczos algorithm on chains of up to 18 sites. It is found that in the presence of strong X-Y-symmetric random exchange couplings, a “random singlet” phase with quasi-long-range order in...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis of medium and large vessels. Corticotherapy is the cornerstone treatment, but most patients fail to reach remission or relapse during the weaning of Glucocorticoids (GC). Here we report 2 patients with corticoid dependent GCA, successfully treated with Tocilizumab (TCZ), with a rapid clinical and biological outcome allowing the tapering of GC,...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(64)H(52)Br(4)O(8)·1.31C(3)H(6)O·0.69CHCl(3), is described. The structure has been reported previously [Bryant, Blanda, Vincenti & Cram (1991). J. Am. Chem. Soc.113, 2167-2172]; however, the lower data acquisition temperature results in an improved refinement model. In addition, the presence of residual acetone and (disordered) chloro-form within th...

Pre-main sequence (PMS) stars evolve into main (MS) phase over a period of time. Interestingly, we found scarcity studies in existing literature that examines and attempts to better understand the PMS MS transition phase. The purpose present study is detect such rare stars, which named as 'Transition Phase' (TP) candidates - evolving from We identified 98 TP using photometric analysis sample 21...
