Abstract Introduction The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) has been demonstrated to successfully prevent sudden cardiac death in children and young adults. A wide range of device-related complications/malfunctions have described, which depend on the intrinsic design defibrillation system [Transvenous (TV-ICD) vs Subcutaneous (S-ICD)]. Objective To compare complications inappropriate...

ride IgG responses are shown in the table. The proportions of children who had antibody titres below the minimum protective level of 0.15ìg/ml before receiving their booster dose at 1 year of age was higher than previously reported with the more extended primary immunisation schedule. The mean increase in antibody titre after administration of the booster dose was 803-fold (95% confidence inter...

The recent isolation of the CLN3 gene involved in Batten disease (juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis) creates possibilities for direct detection of mutations which can confirm or indicate the clinical diagnosis of Batten disease. We have designed a rapid and reliable allele specific PCR test for the detection of the major deletion, which can be used in carrier diagnosis, presymptomatic dia...

A one-stage semiautomated method for estimating total phospholipids in plasma is reported. The phospholipids are extracted into aqueous ethanol, combined with a Lewis acid, and the change in pH is monitored colorimetrically. The method, compared with the acid digestion method of Gomori [J. Lab. Clin. Med. 27, 955 (1942)], gives results that are about 0.25 mmol/liter lower, but seems to be a sui...

Four sites (953−956) were drilled north and south of Gran Canaria during Leg 157. The penetrated pelagic and volcaniclastic sediments can be identified by their different chemical compositions. This paper focuses on the volcaniclastic deposits that were logged in Holes 953C, 955A, and 956B. The sediments in these holes are mainly composed of hemipelagic, fine-grained nannofossil oozes with inte...
