A heart-stopping diagnosis

Heart-stopping antibodies

Spred-1 moderates eosinophil activation normally mediated by IL-5, according to a study by Inoue et al. on page 73. Mice lacking Spred-1 have overly exuberant eosinophils and develop exaggerated allergic responses to inhaled antigens. Allergies and asthma are characterized by invasion of the airways by T cells and eosinophils. A subset of CD4 T cells, known as Th2 cells, produce an array of cyt...

ARTILLERY SHELL FRAGMENTS IN THE HEART: DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Delayed evaluation and management of penetrating cardiac injuries especially mortar fragments were performed in 30 war victims in the Shahid Rajai Heart Hospital, Tehran. All were men with a mean age of 20.7 years. Pleuritic chest pain was the most common symptom (53.3%), while physical examination was negative in the majority of cases (66.8%). 50 percent of the cases had pericardial effus...

Non Stopping times and Stopping Theorems

Given a random time, we give some characterizations of the set of martingales for which the stopping theorems still hold. We also investigate how the stopping theorems are modified when we consider arbitrary random times. To this end, we introduce some families of martingales with remarkable properties.
