This book examines the biology of tuco-tucos (Ctenomys) from an evolutionary perspective. Historically, these subterranean rodents have long attracted the attention of scientists due to its remarkable chromosomes variability and rapid diversification. A wealth of knowledge on physiology, ecology, genetics, morphology, paleontology, and taxonomy has been documented in the last 70 years through numerous single publications. In this volume, expert investigators review and frame these essays with the breadth of current understanding. The collection of chapters are presented into the major topics: i) Evolution of Ctenomys, ii) Geographic Patterns, iii) Organismal Biology, and iv) Environmental Relationships. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both students and researchers and may stimulate further research with this exciting model on a wide range of evolutionary topics.

This six volume set reproduces the complete writings of the London Corresponding Society (LCS) as well as other contemporary literature and parliamentary debates, and reports relating to the Society. The LCS was at the forefront of the call for political reform in the late 18th century.

Der ploetzliche Herztod ist die haufigste Einzeltodesursache in den europaischen und nordamerikanischen Industriestaaten. Die Gesamtzahl der Todesfalle wird auf 20 bis 30 pro Woche und 1 000000 Einwohner, somit auf 600000-1000000 pro Jahr geschatzt. Die Mehrzahl der Todesfalle betrifft Manner im Alter von 20 bis 65 Jahren (394, 459, 508). Als wichtigste unmittelbare Todesursache wurde bereits 1917 von Hering das primare Kammerflimmern erkannt (257). Andere Ursachen wie akute AV-Blockierungen mit UEbergang in Herzstillstand oder akuter kardiogener Schock sind vergleichsweise selten (208, 288, 459, 489). Die toedlichen Rhythmusstoerungen treten oft ohne Wamsymptome auf. 30-70 % der Todesfalle ereignen sich innerhalb der ersten Stunde, bis zu 90 % innerhalb der ersten beiden Stunden nach Ausbildung einer akuten kardiologischen Symptomatik (Abb. 1) ____________________________ 8 ______________________________ 6 % ________________________________,4 __________________________ 2 o 2 3 456 7 8 Stunden nach Beginn der Symptomatik Abb. 1.

Grunderkrankung ist in 60-70 % der Falle eine stenosierende Koronararteriensklerose, zu ca. 30% finden sich akute Koronarthrombosen bzw. frische Myokardnekrosen (101, 390).
