1. Appreciate the urgent need for improvements in the care of patients with heart failure. 2. Clarify the diagnostic methods useful for determining the type and severity of heart failure. 3. Identify pharmacological and clinical interventions that improve heart failure mortality and morbidity. 4. Explain the purpose and value of patient education to promote selfmanagement of heart failure. 5. 30% of 1396 results Table 3 inconsistency was particularly prevalent in the results for narcotic analgesics, anticonvulsants, anti-psychotic drugs, corticosteroids, fungicides, insecticides, and plants and phytotoxins. Just less than 40% of substances that undergo teratogenicity testing in animals show teratogenic potential, which may be defined as positive, probable or possible. Teratogenic findings for such benign substances as water, table salt, oxygen, sugars, food oils, and various vitamins and hormones raise serious questions as to the validity of established animal-based methods. Furthermore, fewer than 1 in 40 the substances designated as potential teratogens from animal studies have been conclusively linked to human birth defects, and of all these known human teratogens only roughly half are teratogenic in more than one primate species. Are we really so resistant to the threat of teratogenesis compared to other animals, or should the value of the animal data be called into question? It is startling and disconcerting to realize that virtually all human teratogens so far identified have been discovered as a result of case reports and clinical series, i.e. despite animal studies, rather than because of them. Those that defend the animal model point to the fact that all human teratogens are also teratogenic in at least one species of animal: the worth of this statement is difficult to appreciate. There is little value in showing that one of the relatively few substances known to be teratogenic in humans can also be teratogenic in at least one of, say, twelve animal species at a particular dose by a particular route at a particular time and in a particular strain. Conversely, it means everything to show that a substance that exhibits teratogenesis in animals poses a genuine threat to unborn human beings, or that a substance which shows no teratogenic effects in.

Until recently, the elevations of liver-function tests seen during IA-FUDR administration had been attributed to "chemical hepatitis." Carrasco et al. [7] have described chemical cholecystitis in patients receiving infusion chemotherapy. Hohn et al. [4, 8] first established the presence of this entity. Two recent reports in the radiology literature [9, 1 0] and one in the surgical literature [1 1 ] describe brief series of patients with identical processes, although no histologic documentation was available. Our evaluation of these patients using CT or sonography clearly excluded recurrent tumor or hepatitis as causative factors. Radionuclide flow studies performed by Botet et al. [1 0] clearly exclude vascular obstruction as a causative factor. The relation of the sclerosing process to lA-FUDR dose is not yet clear. Elevation of liver-function tests has been identified in varying degrees in nearly all patients independent of tumor response [6]. We have identified the form of sclerosing cholangitis in 17 1 5% ; patients tested with intraarterial infusion chemotherapy. We may be underestimating the true incidence of bile duct injury, since we have studied only those patients with major persistent elevations in liver-function tests. No factors have been identified that can predict which patients are most susceptible to the development of biliary sclerosis. In patients operated on at our institution, injection of fluorescein into the common hepatic artery and examination with Wood's light demonstrated the greater fluorescence at the sites of maximal disease [8]. Even after surgical devascularization of the extrahepatic ducts, the fluorescein accumulated densely at the bifurcation of the CHD, indicating retrograde flow from the liver provided by the perforating branches of the hepatic artery. It is interesting that no fluorescence was identified by this manner around the distal common bile duct, where there was no radiographic evidence of disease. These, as well as anatomic studies, confirm that the arterial supply to the lower bile duct is from gastroduodenal and superior mesenteric branches [12], which are isolated from drug injection, and they shed light on the manner of the distribution of disease.

The analysis of audio signals of songs of the verse-chorus form to reconstruct its original musical structures is investigated in this work. We first compute the similarity degree between any two measures in a song based on selected features and represent these numbers in a measure-based similarity matrix. Then, we study the similarity across a sequence of consecutive measures, which is revealed by straight segments in parallel with the diagonal line of the similarity matrix. Generally, chorus parts have higher similarity values while verse parts sometimes have lower similarity values. As a result, the verse parts are more difficult to detect. To tackle this problem systematically, the Viterbi Algorithm is adopted to find optimal paths in the lower-triangular similarity matrix, which represent repetitive segments of both choruses and verses. Finally, several post-processing steps are developed to decode the music structure into the verse, the chorus and other non-repetitive parts. Experimental results obtained from several musical audio data are shown to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method!

In May 2004, members of the Cork Phrenz and Relatives Groups and their friends and families under the co-ordination, support and encouragement of Kieran Coogan, held a Flag Day in Cork City and some surrounding areas. They raised in excess of 16, 000, 25% of which went to Schizophrenia Ireland's central funds and the remainder to local groups. The money was raised with the intention of making a difference in some way to the quality of people's experiences in the region. The day was a huge success and many of those involved are already planning to help out again next year. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank all who were involved, particularly Kieran, for all the hard work and support.

Clinical findings may suggest the need for some suitable tests to exclude CF as a diagnosis, e.g., mecomum ileus in the neonate, failure to thrive and recurrent chest infections in infancy and childhood, and, in adolescence, possibly psychological disturbances resulting from undiagnosed chronic "ill health." However, pre-symptomatic diagnosis by a chemical screening test is particularly relevant in the context of lung disease, when very poor prognosis follows upon the irreversible colonization of the diseased cystic lung with Pseudononas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus, or both. Early diagnosis can be immediately followed by a prophylactic program that includes, for example, tutoring in postural drainage, dietary guidance, and pancreatin replacement therapy. Mild respiratory disease in an infant known to have CF is treated much more aggressively than would normally be the case. The cornerstone of biochemical diagnosis of CF has been for many years, and still is, the analysis of sweat for Na and Cl. Other approaches have relied on the demonstration of abnormal pancreatic function. Screening tests have usually been of the latter category, measurement of meconium albumin and fec# l trypsin having been most widely adopted, but more recently considerable interest has been shown in the measurement of immunoreactive trypsin in serum. In recent years, much research effort has been directed towards identifying a primary gene product and thereby providing a reliable diagnostic test that would be applicable to carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis. While much of the work reviewed here shows some promise, there is still no one test for CF that can be confidently used by the chemical pathology laboratory in routine diagnosis. Nociceptin and neuropeptide FF and their role in pain and analgesia have appeared.266-268 A new peptide, Tyr-Ile-Phe-His-Leu-Met-Asp-NH2 [Ile2 analogue of Met-deltorphin], was identied from cDNA encoding a precursor of dermorphin from the skin of Pachymedusa dacnicolor and, based on some earlier work, the second residue was predicted to be D-allo-Ile.269 Analogues of containing D-amino acids in position 2 were investigated for d agonist activity. The Ki values for the D-Met2, D-aIle2, D-Ile2, D-Nle2 and D-Val2 analogues at the d receptor were 9.6, 54, 24. and 34 nM, respectively, and at the m receptor 1630, 452, 1021, and 293 nM, respectively. A large-scale synthesis of Met-enkephalin 150 g ; using a solution phase segment condensation [1 + 2 method has been reported.270 Conformations of two cyclic enkephalin analogues, dansyl-c[D-Dab-Gly-Trp-Leu] and dansyl-c[D-Dab-Gly-Trp-D-Leu], and relationship between solid-state X-ray structure and opioid peptide activity of various opiate peptides have been reported.271, 272 A number of new enkephalin linear and cyclic peptide analogues have been reported.273-281 Leu-enkephalin analogues containing a 1, 5-disubstituted tetrazole ring, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phec[CN4]-Leu-NH2, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phec[CN4]Leu, Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leuc[CN4]-CH3, Tyr-Gly-Glyc[CN4]-Phe-Leu-NH2 and Tyr-Gly-Glyc[CN4]-Phe-Leu, were weakly active IC50s 9-1351 nM ; at m and d receptors. Tyr-Gly [CN4]-Gly-Phe-Leu, was inactive in binding assays.273 Leu-enkephalin analogue 88 containing substituted serine instead of Gly2 was a potent agonist at d-opioid receptors IC50s 0.25, 0.01 and 6310 nM at m, d and k receptors, respectively ; , and was 10 times more potent than Leuenkephalin.274 The corresponding 5-membered aminocyclopentane derivative was less potent at all the receptor subtypes. [Aib2]-, [ S ; -a-MeSer2]- and [ R ; a-MeSer2]-enkephalin were also less potent than 88. Branched analogues of Tyr-D-Orn-Gly-Phe containing Pro, Leu, Asn or Met residues linked to the side-chain amino group of D-Orn were compared to those of the linear peptides containing these amino acids in position 5. Tyr-D-Orn Pro ; -Gly-Phe and Tyr-D-Orn Pro ; -Gly-Phe-NH2 were more potent than Tyr-D-Orn-GlyPhe-Pro in guinea pig ileum and mouse vas deferens preparations. Similar results were seen in the case of Tyr-D-Orn Leu ; -Gly-Phe, Tyr-D-Orn Leu ; Gly-Phe-NH2, Tyr-D-Orn Asn ; -Gly-Phe, Tyr-D-Orn Asn ; -Gly-Phe-NH2 and Tyr-D-Orn Met ; -Gly-Phe analogues.275 Several analogues of Leu-enkephalin e.g. 89, 90 ; N-alkylated at either the Gly2 or Gly2, Gly3 residues with a 6-deoxy-D-galactose moiety were synthesised by employing N-glycated glycine as the building block. The relative populations of the cis and trans isomers in these compounds were estimated by NMR.276 A cyclic peptide enkephalin analogue 91 ; was nearly equipotent at m and d receptor subtypes and about 150-fold less potent at the k receptor subtypes. The peptide showed analgesic activity in an in vivo thermal escape assay ED50 0.027 mg ; in the rat when administered intrathecally.277 Analogues of d- and m-selective cyclic peptides, Tyr-c[D-Cys-Phe-D-Pen] Ki m 51.5 nM and Ki d.
