1) The CAPRIE trial compared the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel versus aspirin in reducing adverse cardiovascular events in 19,185 patients with clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis.
2) Clopidogrel therapy resulted in a relative risk reduction of 8.7% compared to aspirin therapy in reducing the primary outcome of myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or vascular death.
3) Clopidogrel was found to be safer than aspirin, with significantly fewer gastrointestinal hemorrhages, and no significant differences in intracerebral hemorrhages or hemorrhagic deaths.
Margo Schmitt presents herself as an educational school leader who is a continuous learner and effective team leader. She focuses on communicating and motivating people to work together to achieve goals. Schmitt also focuses on creating a vision for the future and is highly visible, friendly and student-centered. She asks to continue in the doctoral selection process at Western Illinois University.
The document summarizes the authors' experience using the infratentorial supracerebellar approach in 23 patients with lesions located in the posterior third ventricle, quadrigeminal plate, culmen cerebelli, and cerebellar peduncle. Key findings include:
- Three patients had transient worsening of deficits after surgery, and three developed postoperative hemorrhages requiring evacuation, with one death.
- No complications could be unequivocally attributed to the surgical approach.
- The authors concluded the approach allows safe access to the described lesion locations when combined with CSF drainage and the sitting position.
This document presents a mathematical pattern showing that certain words related to life's successes can be represented as percentages. Hard work is represented as 98%, knowledge as 96%, and attitude as 100%. Most significantly, the love of God is represented as 101%, indicating it is what allows one to achieve more than 100% and succeed beyond expectations. This mathematical formula is offered as a way to understand how to achieve one's fullest potential in life with the additional resource of God's love.
This document discusses power factor correction and automatic power factor correction (APFC) systems. It explains that power factor is the ratio of active power to apparent power and can be lagging or leading. Low power factors are caused by inductive loads and non-linear loads. APFC systems use capacitors in automatic steps controlled by a microprocessor to maintain a high power factor under varying loads without manual intervention or risk of overvoltage. This improves efficiency and reduces utility penalties and equipment loading and sizes. The document provides specifications for capacitor selection and switching equipment for APFC systems.
The document discusses fire detection and alarm systems. It provides details on:
1) The purposes of fire detection systems which are to detect fires, notify occupants, summon assistance and initiate suppression systems.
2) The basic components of systems including input devices like manual pull stations and detectors, and output devices like alarms and controls.
3) Different types of detectors like heat, smoke and gas detectors and their functions.
4) Factors to consider for detector placement like area size and layout.
5) Conventional and addressable microprocessor-based systems and their advantages.
6) Approvals and standards required for fire detection systems.
The document discusses soft starters, which are electronic starters that control the voltage applied to three-phase induction motors during start up and shut down. Soft starters reduce mechanical and electrical stresses by gradually increasing voltage from 0% to 100% over an adjustable ramp time, rather than applying full voltage instantly. This allows the motor to accelerate smoothly and limits high starting currents that can damage equipment. Soft starters provide benefits like reduced component wear, maintenance needs, and power consumption compared to direct-on-line or star-delta starters.
The document summarizes key aspects of transmission line design and components. It discusses the methodology for designing transmission lines, including gathering design data, selecting reliability levels, and calculating loads. It also covers the selection and design of various transmission line components such as conductors, insulators, towers, and grounding systems. Design considerations include voltage levels, safety clearances, mechanical requirements, and optimization of costs.
