Dr Townsend graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland in 1989. During his anaesthesia training in Brisbane, he was awarded both the Renton and Cecil Grey Prizes. While a staff specialist anaesthetist at Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane from 1999 to 2001 he gained experience working with cardiac surgical patients and aspects of managing shock states with circulatory assist devi...

The negative relationship between stock market P/E ratios and government bond yields seems to have become conventional wisdom among practitioners. Both limited empirical evidence and a misleading suggestion that the model originated in the Fed are used to support the model's plausibility. This article argues that the Fed model is flawed from a theoretical standpoint and reports evidence from 20...

We present a 16-year-old patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome admitted with syncope and aborted sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiography showed only a short PR interval without a delta wave. The QRS transition zone was on V2 in the precordial leads. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring showed an obvious delta wave only at night-time. Electrophysiologic testing was perfo...

Linagliptin is a highly potent dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Unlike other DPP-4 inhibitors, linagliptin is cleared primarily via the bile and gut. We used a panel of stably and transiently transfected cell lines to elucidate the carrier-mediated transport processes that are involved in linagliptin disposition in vivo and to assess the po...

8 collimations 109-209-209-209 we obtained a wavevector resolution of dQ=Q ˆ 0:0020. Inelastic neutron scattering. A 50-g powder sample was sealed with He exchange gas in a thin-walled aluminium can for the inelastic neutronscattering experiments at the NIST centre for neutron research. For energy transfers ,40 meV we used a direct geometry time-of̄ight (TOF) spectrometer in the neutron energy g...

Briggsia hastingsi is described as a new genus and species of gobiesocid fish from a single specimen, 22 mm in standard length, collected in 2 m depth on the southeastern coast of Oman. The genus differs principally from other aspasmine genera in having fewer dorsaland anal-fin rays (4 each) and a shorter head (head length 2.5 in standard length).
