1.   Main outcome measures Long term survival in patients after urgent cardiac transplantation and perceived quality of life.

2.   There was no significant change in patients after healing of oesophagitis.

3.   This impression is further supported by their observation that the lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation was incomplete in most patients after surgery.

4.   This tachycardia may be caused by the hyoscine butylbromide premedication as tachycardia was often apparent in patients after hyoscine administration before intubation.

5.   The patient with a gastric ulcer had intermittent episodes lasting up to an hour, whereas continuous reflux occurred in the patient after gastrectomy.

6.   Eventually the correct diagnosis was made in seven patients after repeated endoscopic biopsies, open biopsy or examination or surgical specimens.

7.   Brown et al used this threshold in normal subjects and in patients after cholecystectomy.

8.   The major objective of the trial was concerned with the long term management of patients after their initial variceal bleeds.

9.   Single episodes of bleeding were noted in six patients after TIPSS associated with shunt thrombosis, intimal hyperplasia within the shunt, and shunt migration.
