The effects on haemodynamics and infarct size (measured by total creatine kinase release) of intravenous infusions of normal saline, glucose, or glucose-insulin-potassium were studied in 36 patients with transmural acute myocardial infarction qf less than 12 hours' duration. In 12 patients, 2 ml/kg 50 per cent glucose (5.55 mmol/kg) was given over 10 minutes with 0 4 unit/kg soluble insulin 5 m...

We examined whether exercise testing with measurement of cardiac output during maximal exercise can provide additional prognostic information for medically treated patients in whom left ventricular function and extent of coronary artery disease are known. We followed 1034 patients with normal or mildly impaired left ventricular function; 410 of these patients (group 1) had single-vessel disease...

In this paper, existence and uniqueness of solutions to two-point boundary value problem associated with the non-linear kronecker product Lyapunov system on time scales are derived. These generalize the results obtained for two-point boundary value problems involving kronecker products. Bartles-Stewart algorithm and a modified QR-algorithm are presented for solving the system of equations invol...

The purpose of this study was to examine self-reinforcement as an agent of behavior change with children who were deficient in desired attention behaviors. Twenty three first and second grade school children were taught through external reinforcement procedures to raise their level of attention on a simple discrimination task. Subjects in one group were then taught to manage their cwn reinforce...

Results 12 patients with idiopathic uveitis were enrolled in this study. 10 of them were female and 2 were male. The youngest patient was a 7-year-old child and the oldest was 57. The most common complaints of patients was blurred vision and then eye redness. One patient was heterozygous for Wt/R761H in the MEFV genetic analyses. Genetic analysis of 12 most common MEFV mutations in the patients...

1. Modification of parameters in Biome Property Look-Up Table (BPLUT) to agree with GPP derived from measurements at eddy flux towers and synthesized NPP. 2. Alteration of growth respiration module in the collection 004 to make it is 25% of annual NPP, rather than being dependent on the annual maximum LAI. 3. Replacement of the constant Q10 quotient of 2.0 for vegetation maintenance respiration...

OBJECTIVE To examine links between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. STUDY DESIGN Obese (body mass index [BMI] >95th percentile for age and gender) children who snored (n = 62, 46 males, age 10.89 [5-16 years] underwent polysomnography and metabolic studies. RESULTS Respiratory disturbance index (RDI) was 9.23 (0-95), with 23 children (39%) recommended for...
