Direct and indirect assessment of skeletal muscle blood flow in patients with congestive heart failure

Techniques which are currently used to measure skeletal muscle blood flow (SMBF) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) are neither convenient nor accurate. They have led to discrepant results in patients with congestive heart failure and are, in part, responsible for the ongoing debate regarding the factors which limit the rise in body oxygen consumption during exercise in these patients. However, direct measurement of SMBF may not be needed during exercise in patients with severe CHF. Their skeletal muscles maximally extract oxygen. Consequently, increase in oxygen consumption by the skeletal muscles is only mediated by a concomitant increase in SMBF. In patients with severe CHF, peak body oxygen consumption attained during maximal exercise closely depends on the rise in SMBF, and thus provides an indirect measurement of SMBF.     

Characterization method of thermomechanical parameters for microelectronic materials

Reliability of thermomechanical simulations is critically linked to the accuracy of the mechanical properties that govern the behaviour of structure, like Young's modulus (E) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). For many cases, the values found in literatures are dealing with bulk properties without detailed information on temperature effects. To address such issues, it is necessary to measure the materials parameters as a function of temperature. The measurement of CTE is usually accomplished by evaluating the thermal deflections of a subjected material layer deposited on a substrate, providing that E is known at a specific temperature of experiment. A bilayer method, based on theory of elasticity, is proposed to determine both E and CTE for a given temperature with a good resolution. This paper presents the theoretical analysis, the design and process of the microsystem test structures, and the main calculation results.     

Stereotactic radiosurgery of malignant and benign intracranial lesions utilizing a patient rotator

The objective of this survey was to demonstrate whether a primary care track internal medicine residency program emphasizing community-based health care of the urban sick poor trains physicians who will continue to practice in general internal medicine or similar fields. Thirty-five primary care residents (100% of graduates) who trained from 1976 through 1993 in the Adult Primary Care Track of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at St. Vincent's Hospital, New York were used as participants.     

Comparative molecular field analysis of the antitumor activity of 9H-thioxanthen-9-one derivatives against pancreatic ductal carcinoma 03

The present study establishes correlations of in vivo growth inhibition of a solid tumor, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Panc03), of mice with the steric and electrostatic fields and the hydrophobic parameter log P of a series (32) of 1-[[2-(dialkylamino)alkyl]amino]- 9H-thioxanthen-9-ones by the 3D-QSAR method comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). The template molecular model was hycanthone methanesulfonate (19), the structure of which had been established previously by X-ray crystallography. The hycanthone base is protonated at the terminal nitrogen N(2), and an intramolecular hydrogen bond is present between the proximal nitrogen N(1) and carbonyl oxygen O(1) atoms. Crystallographic data also indicate a planar arrangement of bonds around N(1). However, the molecular geometry of 19, optimized by semiempirical molecular orbital methods (PM3, MNDO, AM1), showed the expected trigonal-pyramidal configuration for N(1). A comparison of MO and ab initio methods applied to a model compound, 1-amino-9H-thioxanthen-9-one, led to the selection of PM3 as the method for full geometry optimization of first the cationic and then the neutral forms of 1-32, whereas AM1 provided atomic charges for these same structures save those incorporating a sulfonamide moiety (5, 7, 20, 25, 26, 29, 31, and 32). Acceptable values for the latter were obtained from ab initio calculations. Structures were aligned by minimizing root-mean-square (rms) differences in the fitting of structures to 19 using the FIT option of SYBYL. An alternative strategy of alignment, steric and electrostatic alignment (SEAL), was invoked to provide a comparison of statistical data generated with the rms alignment. The rms-fit alignment of structures produced slightly better cross-validated and conventional r2 values than those generated with the SEAL method. In addition, the rms-fit data indicate that a shift in the lattice of one-half of its spacing has a much smaller effect on the CoMFA data for a lattice of 1 A than one of 2 A. Inclusion of log P in a CoMFA of the neutral structures effected a small (ca. 8-10%) but significant improvement in cross-validated r2 values. The relative contributions of the hydrophobic effects and the steric and electrostatic fields to the conventional r2 values were 16%, 42%, and 42%, respectively. By contrast, incorporation of frontier molecular orbital (HOMO and LUMO) energies or their gaps in the PLS analyses failed to enhance correlation coefficients derived for either the charged or uncharged compounds.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
