LetQ be the unit cube in R n and H a hyperplane thru the Origin. The intersection is called Cube slice and was investigated by Henesley, Vaaler , Ball and others. We give an example of a cube slice in R 4 that is not a zonoid. This contrasts with a result in R 3 that follows from a Theorem due to Herz and Lindenstrauss where every cube slice is a zonoid. The volume of this slice is computed and used to determine the likely known result, the value of the sinc integral I 4

The high prevalence of neuropathy and PVD, coexisting with poor adherence to foot care practices predisposes to foot problems in people with diabetes in our study population.

PCI significantly improved angina in these patients with low overall rates of TVR. However TVR rate was significantly higher in patients undergoing graft PCI than those undergoing native vessel PCI.

Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) often have raised blood glucose concentrations when admitted to hospital; a marker for poorer prognosis. Interventions to rapidly normalise blood glucose inconsistently are applied and with uncertain utility. Here we review the association of hyperglycaemia with outcome, present evidence that this hyperglycaemia reflects more than a pre-existing diabetic state and discuss mechanisms by which glucose may adversely affect the course of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Finally, we seek evidence that intensive insulin treatment improves outcome.
