[Comparison of the effects of molsidomine retard and isosorbide dinitrate retard in patients with stable angina pectoris using an ergometry test].

In 24 men with angina after exertion the authors assessed, using ergometry, the action of molsidomine retard and isosorbide dinitrate retard after a single dose and after tree-week administration of the drug. The authors found that 8 mg of molsidomine retard in a single dose had a somewhat more potent effect than 40 mg isosorbide dinitrate retard. After prolonged administration the effect of both drugs on haemodynamics diminished and in molsidomine a significant decline of action was observed before development of a reduced S-T segment on the ECG.

The UK Human Genome Mapping Project online computing service.

This paper presents an overview of computing and networking facilities developed by the Medical Research Council to provide online computing support to the Human Genome Mapping Project (HGMP) in the UK. The facility is connected to a number of other computing facilities in various centres of genetics and molecular biology research excellence, either directly via high-speed links or through national and international wide-area networks. The paper describes the design and implementation of the current system, a 'client/server' network of Sun, IBM, DEC and Apple servers, gateways and workstations.

[Intravenous streptokinase in the treatment of acute myocardial infarct].

In 314 patients with a first myocardial infarction, admitted within four hours after development of symptoms, the authors used in addition to standard therapy heparin treatment in 205 and streptokinase treatment (1.5 mil. u.

[The effect of molsidomine on bicycle ergometry in patients with stable angina pectoris].

The authors investigated the effect of a single dose of 4 mg molsidomine on the course of bicycle ergometry. This effect was compared with that of 120 mg isosorbide dinitrate retard and with placebo. Isosorbide dinitrate in this large dose significantly protracted the period before angina pectoris developed after exercise, it significantly reduced the duration of stenocardias, significantly increased the total work output, significantly prolonged the period before a reduction of the ST segment occurred on the ECG and significantly reduced the values of reduction of the ST segments.

[Does coronary pathomorphology affect the anti-anginal and anti-ischemic effects of diltiazem in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris?].

The authors compared by means of bicycle ergometry the effect of a single dose of 90 mg diltiazem (Dilzem Gödecke Co.) and placebo in 31 patients with chronic stable angina pectoris grade II-III according to NYHA. These patients were divided into group A where the pathomorphology of the coronary circulation made the "steal phenomenon" possible and group B where there were no conditions for the "steal phenomenon".
