were determined in 19 hypertensive patients (five with renal arterial disease, two with renal parenchymal disease, and 12 with essential hypertension) whose vascular disease was of mild to moderate severity. The drug reduced arterial pressure in 16 patients during 32 weeks of treatment (average); daily dose was 180 mg (average). No side effects required discontinuance of treatment. Orthostatic ...

fuel wood provides the main source of energy for cooking and space heating for over 80 percent of households living in kenya. the heavy reliance on the biomass energy has exerted an imbalance in demand and supply consequently resulting in adverse environmental effects in kenya. as part of innovation efforts, several energy-conserving technologies have been developed. a unique cook stove named m...

Three juvenile diabetics in partial remission were studied before and after the recurrence of overt diabetes. The remissions were partial because glucose tolerance never returned to normal. However, it improved sufficiently to cause the discontinuance of insulin therapy for at least four months.The insulin output in response to double glucose tolerance tests was increased during remission. The ...

Researchers have studied extensively the factors leading to individuals’ adoption of technology products, usually under the assumption that these products are innovations without direct competitions. However, in practice users often have to choose among products that are similar in functionality and highly substitutable, and the decision to use a specific technology product is accompanied by re...

This paper presents the partial results of a case study of an experienced university physics instructor as he attempted to change his instructional practices. Although this instructor appeared to have all of the prerequisites for successful change, he still encountered difficulties. Four factors were identified that limited his ability to change: (1) an implicit instructional model constrained ...

Two 65-year-old white men with coronary heart disease, given niacin therapy for dyslipidemia for 5 months, developed intense dental and gingival pain that was associated with increases in dose and that was relieved with discontinuance of niacin treatment. One individual who took crystalline niacin had beneficial effects on lipid levels, while the other person who took a delayed release preparat...

t has been known for some time that an altered sequence of entricular activation with a left bundle-branch conduction isturbance or right ventricular pacing is associated with a eduction in systolic and diastolic function manifested by ower ejection fraction and higher filling pressures. Furtherore, a variety of studies have shown that for a period of ime following cessation of the conduction d...
