Conclusions: The high contamination rates were remarkable in this study. We suggest that the hospitals' staff should be better trained in blood sample collection and processing. Sterile glove usage, alcohol usage for ...

Introduction. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an emerging predictor in the assessment of cardiovascular risk in diseased and healthy populations. We suggest a novel method for the accurate measurement of PWV. Method. PWV is ...

The (e, 2e) triple differential cross sections are measured for the electron-impact excitation of the (2s(2))S-1, (2p(2))D-1 and (2s2p)P-1 autoionizing transitions in helium. The experiments were performed under coplanar ...

An experimental study of the excitation of the (2p(2)) D-1 and (2s2p) P-1(o) autoionizing states of helium by 250-eV electron impact is presented. The ejected-electron angular distributions and energy spectra are measured ...

Due to their high specific capacities tin based electrode materials are in the focus of many researchers almost for a decade. However, tin based electrodes are hampered in practical applications due to the volumetric changes ...

Conclusions: Stenting using the Cheatham-Platinum stent, either covered or bare, is safe in moderate to severe native aortic coarctation and provides an excellent transcoarctation gradient and clinical hypertension and ...
