In a previous article, I discussed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) attributed to statin therapy, specifically myopathies, as well as potential consequences and recommended alternatives. These ADRs are not trivial because they may lead to patient harm in severe cases and/or significant patient nonadherence in most cases. In fact, statins are frequently discontinued as a result of ADRs1,2 and for a...

Reclamation suitability evaluation is the basis for determining reuse direction of damaged land. Limit condition method most widely used in land reclamation at present. In this paper, limit to evaluate Pingdingshan Tianan ten coal mine. The index area determined as six main factors: field slope/land flatness, ponding, depth collapse, soil texture, thickness layer, irrigation and drainage condit...

Three cases are presented showing retrograde alternate Wenckebach periods. Retrograde alternate Wenckebach periods were defined as 2:1 ventriculoatrial (VA) block in which the conducted beats showed progressive prolongation of conduction (VA) time. The sequence terminates with two or three successively blocked ventricular beats. In one of the three cases the level of block was identified as bei...
