Use of 5 French catheters for cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography: a critical review.
With the number of outpatient cardiac catheterizations increasing, much attention has recently been focused on the use of 5 French catheters for cardiac catheterization and selective coronary angiography. However, there are few reports in the literature regarding the technical aspects of their use or the quality of cineangiograms obtained. We reviewed our experience with these catheters in our first 100 consecutive cases. All cineangiograms were diagnostic, though 9% were deemed only of fair quality (incomplete luminal filling in some frames) by two experienced observers. Technical problems encountered with the use of these catheters included instability of the right Judkin's catheter in the right coronary ostium owing to high torquability, streaming of contrast during left coronary injections, and difficulty entering the left ventricle with a pig-tail catheter.

Arousal and sensation-seeking components in the general explanation of gambling and gambling addictions.
Following upon the first clear experimental evidence that states of high arousal accompany gambling in real-life situations, an attempt is made to clarify the implications of this new finding for the development of two possible forms of a neo-Pavlovian or classical conditioning addition to the traditional emphasis on operant conditioning in behavioral explanations of gambling. The explanatory scope and power of one (biological hedonist) version of the model is then demonstrated as applied to both normal regular and pathological gambling. The role of arousal and sensation-seeking factors is considered alongside the roles of other likely components in any possible general explanation of both regular and pathological gambling.
