BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and coronary flow are impaired in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). This study was designed to evaluate the impact of cardiac and circulatory ACE inhibition on such derangements. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty patients with HOCM underwent cardiac ACE inhibition with intracoronary (IC) enalaprilat (0.05 mg/min infused into the left ...

Let l, k be fixed positive integers. In [1], the first and third authors established a bijection between l-cores with first part equal to k and (l − 1)-cores with first part less than or equal to k. This paper gives several new interpretations of that bijection. The l-cores index minimal length coset representatives for f Sl/Sl where f Sl denotes the affine symmetric group and Sl denotes the fi...

Cognitive functions require the integrated activity of multiple specialized, distributed brain areas. Such functional coupling depends on the existence of anatomical connections between the various brain areas as well as physiological processes whereby the activity in one area influences the activity in another area. Recently, the Synchronization Likelihood (SL) method was developed as a genera...

Abstract Background Although the apple snail Pila globosa is used as indicator species for human consumption locally and fish feed, research on it in general very scanty. It food industry, aquaculture bait many regions of India other countries, but has been started 1970s. Only 40 articles are available this organism PubMed indicating an urgent need basic especially work its spatiotemporal morph...

The aim of this study was to assess the pooled and individual response of male swimmers over two consecutive years of training and identify the energetic and biomechanical factors that most contributed for the final performance. Nine competitive swimmers (20.0 ± 3.54 years old; 10.1 ± 3.41 years of training experience; 1.79 ± 0.07 m of height; 71.34 ± 8.78 kg of body mass; 22.35 ± 2.02 kg·m(-2)...

The nature of finitely generated infinite index subgroups of SL(3,Z) remains extremely mysterious. It follows from the famous theorem of Tits [12] that free groups abound and, moreover, Zariski dense free groups abound. Less trivially, classical arithmetic considerations (see for example §6.1 of [9]) can be used to construct surface subgroups of SL(3,Z) of every genus ≥ 2. However these are con...

blends of sorghum and soybean flours were processed in a co-rotating twin screw extruder to prepare expanded product. response surface methodology (rsm) was used to study the effect of soya level (sl), feed moisture (fm), barrel temperature (bt) and screw speed (ss) on extruder system parameters and physical properties of the extrudate. response variables were product temperature (pt), motor to...
