patients with syndrome x coronary disease represent a heterogeneous group of patients. medical treatment with dilators and calcium channel blockers are not very effective. we evaluated the use of transmyocardial laser revascularization (tmlr) in treating 5 patients with this syndrome. between may 2002 to december 2005, 5 patients with cardiac syndrome x (mean age of 49.7 years) underwent tmlr. ...

leishmania is a protozoan parasite belonging to the family trypanosomatidae, which is found among 88 different countries. the parasite lives as an amastigote in vertebrate macro­phages and as a promastigote in the digestive tract of sand fly. it can be cultured in the laboratory us­ing appropriate culture media. although the sexual cycle of leishmania has not been observed during the promastigo...

Abstract The classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with presence (ultra-)high pressure mantle rocks far from plate interface in Bohemian Massif Central Europe. Here we use comparison geological observations thermo-mechanical numerical models to expl...

Continental Pronto uni es high availability and disaster resilience at the speci cation and implementation levels. At the speci cation level, Continental Pronto formalizes the client's view of a system addressing local-area and wide-area data replication within a single framework. At the implementation level, Continental Pronto makes data highly available and disaster resilient. The algorithm p...

Global topographic data and the assumption of Airy isostasy have been used to estimate the crustal volumes of the continents and the oceanic and continental submarine plateaus. The calculated crustal volumes are 7182 X lo6 km3 for the continents, 242 x lo6 km3 for continental submarine plateaus, and 369 X lo6 km3 for oceanic plateaus. The Falkland Plateau and the Lord Howe Rise are the two larg...
