An experimental apparatus to study the breaking process of axisymmetric liquid bridges has been developed, and the breaking sequences of a large number of liquid bridge configurations at minimum-volume stability limit have been analyzed. Experimental results show that very close to the breaking moment the neck radius of the liquid bridge varies as t, where t is the time to breakage, irrespectiv...

The purpose of this communication is to examine the pattern of coronary heart disease over the years 1948 to 1957 inclusive, as seen in the mortuary of the General Hospital at Singapore in 19,415 consecutive autopsies, and to determine whether there are racial differences. The macroscopic data considered relevant were transferred from the post-mortem protocols on to a specially prepared proform...

The heart rate response to tilting was investigated in active and quiet sleep in 19 normal newborns (age 1-7 days) and 11 healthy premature infants (age 2-19 days). RR intervals were determined by computer from the ECG for 30-60 s periods immediately before and after each tilt. Term infants had a significant (p less than 0.005) decrease in RR interval for head-up tilting and significant (p less...

(1) Background: We assessed the effect of moxifloxacin on heart rate, and reviewed the heart rate effects of other antibiotics; (2) Methods: A total of 335 normal volunteers had 12-lead electrocardiograms recorded at multiple time points before and during treatment with moxifloxacin and with placebo in seven consecutive, thorough QT studies of crossover design; (3) Results: The average baseline...

infective endocarditis is an uncommon heart disease with a variable incidence, mostly related to the ever-increasing development of cardiac surgery and the longer survival of patients with congenital heart disease (chd). thirty-seven episodes of infective endocarditis (ie) were evaluated in 36 children (under 15 years of age) admitted to hospitals affiliated to shiraz university of medical scie...
