BACKGROUND high walking frames may improve exercise capacity in young patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We have assessed the effect of Zimmer, rollator and gutter frames on 6-min walking distance and on arterial oxygenation during exercise in elderly patients with COPD. METHODS 27 out-patients (15 men) aged 70-82 (mean 75) years were recruited. Exclusions comprised: ...

Electron mass has been considered a fundamental constant of nature that cannot be calculated from other constants such as Planck’s ħ and gravitational G. In contrast, holographic analysis takes account the finite amount information available to describe universe specifies electron six significant figures in terms five constants: fine structure a, , G, cosmological Λ, vacuum fraction ΩΛ c...
