In order to provide a firm identification of the newly discovered Galactic TeV sources, a search for counterparts in a broad band from soft X-ray to soft gamma-rays is crucial as data in these wavebands allow us to distinguish between different types of suggested models (for example leptonic versus hadronic) and, in turn, to disentangle their nature. In this paper, we report the results of a se...

BACKGROUND Most cases of hyponatremia--serum sodium concentration ([Na+]) < 135 mEq/l (< 135 mM)--are associated with an elevated plasma arginine vasopressin level. This study investigated the efficacy and tolerability of intravenous conivaptan (YM087), a vasopressin V1A/V2-receptor antagonist, in treating euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia. METHODS Eighty-four hospitalized patients with...

Abstract The conditions under which accreting neutron stars launch radio-emitting jets and/or outflows are still poorly understood. ultracompact X-ray binary X1850–087, located in the globular cluster NGC 6712, is a persistent atoll-type source that has previously shown unusual radio-continuum variability. Here we present results of pilot radio-monitoring program X1850–087 undertaken with Karl ...
