Drugs and the Colon
1983
It is not our intention to review drug effects in the colon, which was done extensively and profoundly by Forth and Rummel1 and Powell.2 Our contribution will present studies of drug effects on physiological absorption and secretion processes obtained in the intact human colon and based on results of intestinal perfusion studies of the whole colon and measurements of transepithelial electrical potential difference (PD) in the rectosigmoid colon. These are at present the practiced and—regarding perfusion studies—most accurate techniques in the hands of clinicians to directly study drug effects on a local dose-response scale in the intact human colon. Since these methods are relatively new an…

The contribution of ozone to forest decline
1995
More than 10 years of intensive research into forest decline in Germany has ascertained that the full extent of the visible damage cannot be explained by just one of the current hypotheses on forest decline. One of the prominent hypotheses is that chronic exposure of forest trees to ozone is probably one of the primary causes of forest decline. The aim of this paper is the critical review of a number of recent results dealing with the ozone hypothesis from a plant physiological point of view. The synopsis focusses on the effects of ozone on conifers because the most extensive data are available for coniferous trees, especially for spruce (Picea sp.) and pine (Pinus sp.) trees.
Seasonal cycles and variability of O<sub>3</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O in the UT/LMS during SPURT
2005
Abstract. Airborne high resolution in situ measurements of a large set of trace gases including ozone (O3) and total water (H2O) in the upper troposphere and the lowermost stratosphere (UT/LMS) have been performed above Europe within the SPURT project. With its innovative campaign concept, SPURT provides an extensive data coverage of the UT/LMS in each season within the time period between November 2001 and July 2003. Ozone volume mixing ratios in the LMS show a distinct spring maximum and autumn minimum, whereas the O3 seasonal cycle in the UT is shifted by 2 to 3 month later towards the end of the year. The more variable H2O measurements reveal a maximum during spring/summer and a minimum…
Use of statins in patients with peripheral artery disease
2018
Atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a growing health issue that affects more than 200 million individuals worldwide, conferring a high risk of cardiovascular events and death. In spite of its high prevalence, PAD has often been neglected in the past and the heightened cardiovascular risk of patients with PAD has been consistently under-recognized by practitioners. Considering that an integrated approach to reduce cardiovascular events and lower limb complications is necessary in this setting, statins represent the cornerstone of therapy as reported by current American and European guidelines. Literature has extensive data about the importance of lipid-lowering therapy in pati…
