Cardiopulmonary problems were the most common limiting factor in the rehabilitation of 42 bilateral lower limb amputees. Diabetes mellitus and local stump problems, most common in below knee amputees, delayed rehabilitation but, subsequently, obtained the highest goals. Thirty of the 42 amputees finally were self sufficient; the average time required ...

The measurement of cardiac output by the indicator dilution method is reviewed.

Problems remain with all of these methods, but reasonable ...

It is therefore advisable for every type of instrument used ...

Mixed with either of the specific venoms, refined antivenene (anti-Bitis arietans-Naja flava) will show optimal flocculation at a number of different venom: serum ratios. This is the natural consequence of individual antigen-antibody reactions in a heterogeneous system.Toxin may be recovered from floccules formed at three optimal N. flava venom: serum ...
