BACKGROUND Since the introduction of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), long-term follow-up studies reporting single-device results are scarce. In this study, we focus on EVAR repair with the Talent stent graft (Medtronic, Santa Rosa, Calif). METHODS Between July 2000 and December 2007, 365 patients underwent elective EVAR with a Talent device. Patient data were gathered prospectively and e...

By use of simplified technique and constant environmental conditions, I have demonstrated the existence in the chipmunk of a yearly clock. In a blinded chipmunk the clock manifested itself by remarkably consistent changes in running activity, food and water intake, and body weight over 6 1/2 yr. Studies on freshly trapped chipmunks kept in the same laboratory environment but with alternating li...
