Chemical reactions and interdiffusion at the Fe/NiO(001) interface
No full textThe interaction between Fe and NiO(001) surface for increasing metal deposition at RT was studied by means of Xrayphotoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron diffraction. NiO reduces to an extent that depends on theamount of deposited Fe, up to a maximum of 1ML for Fe deposition of 5ML or larger. The overlayer initially growsin a 3D island mode, with partial intermixing between the deposited Fe atoms and the metallic Ni atoms resulting fromthe reduction process. The intermixed region extends up to about 3ML. For 5ML Fe deposition, the islands coalesceinto a continuous film. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
The 'skipped generation' phenomenon in a family with renal agenesis.
No full textRenal agenesis may be unilateral or bilateral, isolated
or associated with anomalies of the internal genitalia
or other systems. Renal anomalies are often considered
sporadic. Because of their variable expressivity, only a
few cases of affected relatives have been reported. In
1934, Madisson first described affected sibs

Prevalence of maternal cardiac defects in women with high-resistance uterine artery Doppler indices.
No full textObjectives: To compare the prevalence of previously undiagnosed cardiac structural abnormalities in pregnant women with normal- and high-resistance midtrimester uterine artery Doppler indices. Methods: Maternal transthoracic echocardiography was undertaken in asymptomatic pregnant women after uterine artery Doppler screening for pre-eclampsia at 21-23 weeks' gestation. Women with a mean uterine artery pulsatility index above the 90 th centile (1.25) for the local population (multiethnic, socially diverse and migrant) were considered to have high-resistance uteroplacental blood flow indices. The prevalence of newly diagnosed cardiac structural defects in these women was recorded. Results: A total of 491 women underwent echocardiography, of whom 205 had high-resistance uterine artery blood flow indices. There were nine previously undiagnosed, functionally significant cardiac defects in the high-resistance uterine artery blood flow group and only one, functionally insignificant cardiac defect in the normal-resistance group (P = 0.005; relative risk = 12.6, 95% confidence interval, 1.60-98.34). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that both uterine artery Doppler indices (P = 0.024) and ethnicity (P = 0.048) contributed independently towards a higher prevalence of cardiac defects. Conclusions: The prevalence of previously undiagnosed maternal cardiac structural abnormalities is significantly increased in women with high midtrimester uterine artery Doppler resistance indices. This observation has important consequences for the current and longterm medical care provided to these patients. Detailed maternal cardiac assessment with echocardiography may be required in migrant women with high uterine artery Doppler indice
