Biomechanical model calculation of muscle contraction forces: A double linear programming method
(Elsevier, 1988)
This paper presents a novel scheme for the use of linear programming to calculate muscle contraction forces in models describing musculoskeletal system biomechanics. Models of this kind are frequently found in the biomechanics ...
Lesion-directed administration of alteplase with intracoronary heparin in patients with unstable angina and coronary thrombus undergoing angioplasty
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-04)
Percutaneous coronary revascularization in patients with unstable angina and coronary thrombus carries a high complication rate. A new strategy to reduce thrombus burden before revascularization was tested in a multicenter ...
Step-down from multiple- to single-dose proton pump inhibitors (PPIs): a prospective study of patients with heartburn or acid regurgitation completely relieved with PPIs
(Blackwell Science Inc, 2003-09)
Management costs for gastroesophageal reflux disease are high because of the expensive medications used for maintenance therapy. Previous studies have illustrated the success of step-down from proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) ...
Induction of glutathione S -transferase-Π in Barrett's metaplasia and Barrett's adenocarcinoma cell lines
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-02)
Barrett's metaplasia consists of columnar epithelium that replaces the normal esophageal mucosa in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux. Because intestinal-type Barrett's metaplasia is the major risk factor for ...
More on glucose transporters: The acinar organization for hepatic glucose transport
(W.B. SaundersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1991-04)
The “erythroid/brain” glucose transporter (GT) isoform is expressed only in a subset of hepatocytes, those forming the first row around the terminal hepatic venules, while the “liver” GT is expressed in all hepatocytes. ...
Differentiation of ventricular tachycardia from ventricular fibrillation using intraventricular electrogram morphology
(Elsevier, 1992-09-15)
Implantable antitachycardia devices are now capable of providing "ramp" therapy including antitachycardia pacing and low- and high-energy cardioversion for sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in addition to defibrillation ...
Autonomic nervous system dysregulation in human hypertension
(Elsevier, 1991-04-22)
An increased sympathetic drive combined with decreased parasympathetic inhibition is found in patients with borderline hypertension, who characteristically have rapid heart rates, high cardiac output and relatively normal ...
Biocarbon ureterostomy device for urinary diversion Multicenter clinical trial
(Elsevier, 1989-07)
The bioCarbon ureterostomy device is a stomal prosthesis for upper tract urinary diversion that has had preliminary successes in animal and human trials in Europe and Peru. Implantation of a pure carbon stomal prosthesis ...
