Objective : To examine the role of sevoflurane in myocardial protection in patients undergoing
coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Design : Prospective, randomized, controlled…

Background. The mechanism by which transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) exerts a
beneficial effect remains unknown. We hypothesize that the myocardial punctures of TMR …

Objective: Because adynamic cardiomyoplasty, or wrapping skeletal muscle around the heart,
had been shown to provide a girdling effect and delay progressive ventricular dilatation in …

Background. Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR), which has been shown to
reduce angina in clinical trials, was originally based on the belief that laser channels are …

… 5 we compare our Li-age results with Li depletion models for a one solar mass star with
solar metallicity (Xiong & Deng 2009; Do Nascimento et al. 2009; Charbonnel & Talon 2005; …

We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) models with a metallicity appropriate for stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC, …

… Indeed, the oversolar Li abundance of M67-1194 agrees with the Li-age correlation. …
Note that the high Li abundance in M67-1315 agrees with the Li abundance of other solar …

The effect of Aloe vera on the reduction of plaque and gingivitis was evaluated in a randomized,
parallel and double-blind clinical trial. Subjects were randomly allocated to the test …
