Air and Ventilation
Published in Sir Arthur Newsholme, The Story of Modern Preventive Medicine, 2015
The preceding observations bear on the sanitation of hospitals. Early in the 18th century Pringle said that the air of military hospitals killed more than the sword. “Plus occidit aer quam gladius.” The real significance of such conditions was elucidated by Lister’s epochal work (Chapter IV).

The following fish species were selected because individual patients referred adverse reactions after eating at least two of them. We then decided to test these fish species as a whole also to the other included patients even if they did not had contact with them or did not have adverse reaction to them: raw muscle of Merluccius merluccius (European hake), Dicentrarchus labrax (European seabass), Lophius piscatorius (monkfish), Gadus morhua (Atlantic cod), Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis (megrim), Xiphias gladius (swordfish), Thunnus alalunga (albacore), Engraulis encrasicolus (European anchovy), and Anisakis simplex sensu lato third stage larvae. They were homogenized in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) [NaH2PO4 · 2H2O, 2.2 mM; Na2HPO4 · 12H2O, 7.3 mM; NaCl, 146 mM] and sonicated six times for 10 s to break the cell membranes releasing the proteins. The homogenate was extracted in PBS at 4°C overnight and subsequently delipidized with n-hexane. After centrifugation at 6700 g at 4°C, the supernatant was dialyzed overnight in PBS at 4°C (Medicell Intl. Ltd., London, UK). The protein content was quantified by the Bradford protein assay (BioRad, München, Germany).
Antegrade versus retrograde techniques for Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO): a review and comparison of techniques and outcomes

Once access has been gained to the subintimal space, the body of the CTO is crossed within the media using either a knuckled wire or the Crossboss catheter (Boston Scientific). The Crossboss catheter is a blunt tipped device that performs controlled dissection of the subintimal space while minimizing the size of hematoma formation. Alternatively, a polymer jacketed wire such as a Gladius Mongo (Asahi) or Fielder XT can be used to form a small knuckle and advanced beyond the distal cap.
Current approaches for treatment of coronary chronic occlusions

The development of dedicated polymer jacket and hydrophilic coating knuckle wire, such as the new Gladius Mongo and Gladius Mongo ES (ASAHI) could be associated with enhanced performance given the increased lubrication, track-ability and torque transmission.
