Hypomagnesemia after ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms: predictive factor and pathophysiological implication
Hypomagnesemia was frequently present after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. It was found in 38% of patients admitted after aneurysmal SAH and predicted the occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia. The pat...

Epitaxial stabilization of orthorhombic cuprous oxide films on MgO(110)
Continuous epitaxial films of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) have been formed by the thermal oxidation of 1.5-μm-thick Cu metal films deposited on MgO(110) substrates. These films melted at 1118 °C in air, in agreement wit...
