Reply Dear Sir: We thank Doctors Eriksson, Friedman, Cushner, and Lassen for their letter regarding our recently published manuscript: Potent anticoagulants are associated with a higher all-cause mortality rate after hip and knee arthroplasty [15]. They have challenged the evidence presented in our paper which suggests that potent anticoagulants are associated with higher mortality than multimo...

As authors and readers alike, we appreciate the important discussion on disclosure and transparency that followed our recent publication in JVIM. We especially appreciate the chance to respond within a considerate environment, like a letter to the editor. Briefly, we believe that issues of perceived bias should be addressed by full disclosure and transparency. With regard to Dr Moore's letter, ...

None. (Letter to the Editor)

We postulate that as peripheral edema increases the distance between the nerve and the electrodes, the resistance increases and the amount of voltage required for nerve depolarization will also increase according to Ohm's law. This relationship may be similar to that oftransthoracic resistance and defibrillation current. Human studies have shown that transthoracic resistance increases with ches...

Advances in Enzyme Research (AER) is pleased to bring you multiple new topical collections on enzyme sciences. AER, a broad-based journal, was founded on tenets to publish the most exciting researches with enzyme science advances and to encourage research, leadership and application of enzymology in disease and provide a rapid turnaround time possible for reviewing and publishing and to dissemi...

To the Editor: Dr. L. S. Gettes has alerted me of the fact that three figures appearing in our review article devoted to the subject of ventricular tachycardia (Circulation 47: 1364, 1973) appear to be adaptations of figures which he had published earlier (Am J Cardiol 28: 526, 1971). These figures (in our article Nos. 1, 7 and 8) were diagramatic simplifications of certain electrophysiologic c...
