Microvariation and Change in the Romance Left Periphery
AbstractDespite the vast literature which has accrued on the fine structure of the Romance left periphery, there exists no diachronic account of the emergence of the considerable microvariation between Romance varieties today. Focussing in particular on the syntax of French and Venetan varieties, this article suggests that certain northern Romance ...

Magnetocardiography in the Evaluation of Sudden Cardiac Death Risk: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Sudden cardiac death is responsible for 15%–20% of deaths globally/year, predominantly due to VA caused by vulnerable cardiac substrate. Current risk predictors of SCD based on ECG and LV function parameters have significant limitations. Magnetocardiography offers hope for better risk‐prediction, and we evaluated the evidence base for this technology ...
