Shown below is a strip from a patient being cardioverted for atrial fibrillation. The patient was taking sotalol and coumadin. This is the first shock which was set at 150 joules and delivered via defibrillator pads placed with the positive in the V1 position and the negative on the back between the left scapula and the spine.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome

SARS-CoV Particles


In 2003, following the outbreak of Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) which had begun the prior year in Asia, and secondary cases elsewhere in the world, the World Health Organization issued a press release stating that a novel coronavirus identified by a number of laboratories was the causative agent for SARS. The virus was officially named the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The SARS epidemic resulted in over 8000 infections, about 10% of which resulted in death. X-ray crystallography studies performed at the Advanced Light Source of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have begun to give hope of a vaccine against the disease "since [the spike protein] appears to be recognized by the immune system of the host."[1]
