let $r$ be a 2-torsion free ring and $u$ be a square closed lie ideal of $r$. suppose that $alpha, beta$ are automorphisms of $r$. an additive mapping $delta: r longrightarrow r$ is said to be a jordan left $(alpha,beta)$-derivation of $r$ if $delta(x^2)=alpha(x)delta(x)+beta(x)delta(x)$ holds for all $xin r$. in this paper it is established that if $r$ admits an additive mapping $g : rlongrigh...

background: noninvasive techniques for the localization of the accessory pathways (aps) might help guide mapping procedures and ablation techniques. we sought to examine the diagnostic accuracy of strain imaging for the localization of the aps in wolff-parkinson-white syndrome. methods: w e prospectively studied 25 patients (mean age = 32 ± 17 years, 58.3% men) with evidence of pre-excitation o...

‎Let $G$ be a finite group which is not a cyclic $p$-group‎, ‎$p$ a prime number‎. ‎We define an undirected simple graph $Delta(G)$ whose‎ ‎vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$, which are not contained in the‎ ‎Frattini subgroup of $G$ and two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge‎ ‎if and only if $G=langle H‎ , ‎Krangle$‎. ‎In this paper we classify finite groups with planar graph‎. ‎...

Average left ventricular (LV) chamber stiffness (Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg)) is an important diastolic function index. An E-wave-based determination of Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) (Little WC, Ohno M, Kitzman DW, Thomas JD, Cheng CP. Circulation 92: 1933-1939, 1995) predicted that deceleration time (DT) determines stiffness as follows: Delta P(avg)/Delta V(avg) = N(pi/DT)(2) (where N is constant), ...

To assess the effect of exercise on the plasma concentration of cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) and its possible influence in mediating the exercise-associated redistribution of cholesterol among plasma lipoproteins, we measured plasma CETP in 57 healthy normolipidemic men and women before and after 9 to 12 months of exercise training. The training protocol resulted in significant cha...

BACKGROUND This study evaluates the effect of eradicating Helicobacter pylori on basal and bombesin-stimulated gastric acid secretion and serum gastrin in non-ulcer dyspepsia. METHODS Before and 1 month after an attempt to eradicate H. pylori basal and bombesin-stimulated gastric acid outputs were measured in 23 patients. H. pylori was eradicated in 15 patients (group A) but not in the other ...

BACKGROUND The literature describes contradictory data regarding the onset of the baroreflex reduction in spontaneously hypertensive rats. OBJECTIVE This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the baroreflex function in 13-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS Male Wistar Kyoto (n=15) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (n=15) aged 13 weeks were studied. Cannulas were inserted...

Although obesity and insulin levels are generally associated in cross-sectional data, the temporal and causal nature of their association is not yet clear. Increased obesity may have preceded increased insulin levels or vice versa. The authors examined the temporal relations between fasting insulin blood levels and weight in longitudinal data from the ongoing Normative Aging Study. Two insulin ...
