Abstract

Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel plus low-dose aspirin was studied in a broad population of patients at high risk for atherothrombotic events. It was found that clopidogrel plus aspirin was not significantly more effective than aspirin alone in reducing the rate of myocardial infarction, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes.

10. Instructors' practices in and attitudes toward teaching ethics in the genetics classroom

Author

Abstract

There is strong consensus among educators that training in the ethical and social consequences of science is necessary for the development of students into the science professionals and well-rounded citizens needed in the future. However, this part of the curriculum is not a major focus of most science departments and it is not clear if, or how, students receive this training. To determine the current status of bioethics education of undergraduate biology students in the United States, we surveyed instructors of introductory genetics. We found that there was support for more ethics education both in the general curriculum and in the genetics classroom than is currently being given. Most instructors devote

Abstract

Combining an anticoagulant with a thrombolytic drug does not reduce long-term death rates in heart attack patients compared to a thrombolytic drug alone. This was the conclusion of a study of 16,453 heart attack patients who received a thrombolytic drug only or a thrombolytic and an anticoagulant. Thrombolytic drugs break down blood clots whereas anticoagulants prevent blood from clotting.

13. A commentary on Ovid, Amores ii, 1-10

Author

Booth, Joan

Subjects
871, Classical Literature
Abstract

This thesis attempts to provide for the first time an English commentary on poems from the second book of Ovid's Amores. Included is a text of poems 1-10, to which the present commentary is confined. No independent collation of the manuscripts has been attempted in view of the meticulous work already done in this area by modern scholars, and the text offered would not claim to be a new recension; the readings of the codex Hamiltonensis 471 (Y), however, a manuscript of only fairly recently recognized antiquity, have been taken into account and are documented along with those of P and S, the other antiquiores, in a select apparatus which is intended for use in conjunction with the critical notes in the commentary. The commentary proceeds on a line by line basis, dealing in detail with specific points of literary, linguistic and textual interest as they arise; wider issues, however, such as the conventions of poetic diction and the use of particular ranges of imagery, also find a place in discussion. The interpretations and elucidations of the older editors have been accorded special attention, and the ipsissima uerba of those such as Heinsius and Burman are regularly cited. Striking features of Ovidian style are naturally noted throughout. Each poem has in addition an introduction which gives an outline of its content and structure, and endeavours to place the piece in its literary and contemporary social setting. Particular attention is paid to the contribution made by ovid's work to the elegiac tradition established by Tibullus and Propertius, and an attempt is made to assess the extent of Ovid's originality and the measure of his achievement in individual elegies. A select bibliography for each poem is also offered. The thesis as a whole, therefore, aims to illuminate and to enrich the reading of Amores ii. 1-10 in particular, and in so doing to make some contribution also to the critical assessment and appreciation of Ovid's poetry in general.

Abstract

Giving patients with coronary artery disease a stent plus the drug abciximab appears to be the most effective treatment for preventing a heart attack. A stent is a small cylindrical device that is inserted into an artery to keep it open. Abciximab is a drug that prevents the formation of blood clots. Researchers randomly assigned 2,399 patients with coronary artery disease to receive a stent only, a stent and abciximab, or balloon angioplasty plus abciximab. The lowest rate of heart attack and death occurred in the group that received a stent and abciximab.

19. Ovid 'Amores' 2.13.17-18: 'quae Oedipum requirant interpretem.'

Author

Subjects

Abstract

The couplet at 2.13.17-18 of Ovid's 'Amores' seems detached from the text preceding it, given the themes and poetical patterns of the surrounding context. There may be some lines missing between lines 17 and 18, perhaps as many as 15 but probably closer to four or six.
