• Wakerlin and his associates have reported' 2 that chronic bilateral carotid sinus compression in dogs resulted in a sustained elevation of the mean arterial pressure. This finding was confirmed by Hawthorne and Gaspar, who reported also that the elevated mean arterial pressure after bilateral carotid sinus compression was ameliorated by hypophysectomy. Kezdi reported that bilateral constricti...

Accounting for secondary exhaustive variables (such as elevation) in modelling the spatial distribution of precipitation can improve their estimate accuracy. However, elevation and data are associated with different support sizes it is necessary to define methods combine such data. The paper was aimed compare block ordinary cokriging kriging an external drift estimating annual using covariate. ...

Seventy four patients (66 men, eight women; mean age 54.3 years) underwent submaximal exercise testing 7-23 days (mean 10.7) after acute myocardial infarction. Follow up was a mean period of 11.3 months. When compared with patients with no exercise induced abnormality, ST segment elevation, ST shift (depression or elevation or both), ST depression, inability to complete five metabolic equivalen...

purpose: to determine the sensitivity and specificity of posterior corneal elevation in discriminating keratoconus and subclinical keratoconus from normal corneas by galilei and orbscan ii diagnosed on the basis of topography. methods: three groups (keratoconus, subclinical keratoconus and normal) were evaluated with galilei and orbscan ii and results were compared to those obtained by gold sta...

Little is known about the relationships between treeline elevation and climate at regional and local scales. It is compelling to fill this research gap with data from the Tibetan Plateau where some of the highest alpine treelines in the world are found. This research question partially results from the lack of in situ temperature data at treeline sites. Herein, treeline variables (e.g., elevati...

Background: It is unclear whether hemiarthroplasty (HA) or reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RS) are superior for patientswith cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) and preserved preoperative motion (elevation >90˚).Methods: This was a retrospective, single institution study. Patients who underwent RSA or HA for CTA were included ifthey had preserved preoperative motion with a minimum of 2...
