This book is a review of my life done with the purpose of understanding why it went the way it did. What I learned is that the major goals of my life were set up by an authority which I called destiny. This authority conducted events along pathways that led to the fulfilment of those goals. These events were either causal determined or were synchronized and were set up by destiny which seemed to be devoid of human feelings. The overwhelming intervention of destiny in life does not exclude the potential use of free will but it was not apparent that that will improve the outcome.
Under the Romanian Ceausescu's totalitarian regime the author has decided to leave the country. After a year of struggle with Securitate, the secret police, he received a passport to travel to visit his family in France. There he accepted an offer for a teaching position in the United States. He came to United States and started a fight with the Securitate to be reunited with his family. An eighteen months separation ordeal followed. The bonding between him and his wife based on love and trust was their defense against the Securitate conniving to separate them. After winning this fight and being reunited these Memoirs relate how each family member has succeeded in spite of the extensive differences between their previous life and the New World. The author reaches the conclusion that the most important events of his life were marrying his wife and replacing the Iron Curtain with the Statue of Liberty. His life story could be a lesson from the struggle against a totalitarian regime to adaptation to a different world and the power of love.

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the herpesvirus has a role in many vascular disorders. Each chapter in this book discusses in detail the role that herpesviruses play in the pathophysiological processes related to cholesterol metabolism and intracellular trafficking, cell proliferation, matrix production and arterial tissue remodelling, and thrombosis. The contributors highlight a wide range of cellular processes focused on the potential role that herpesviruses may play in the etiology and development of cardiovascular disease, from early childhood to adult stages of life.

The Sixth Annual International Spring Symposium on Health Sciences, held in Washington, D. C. , in May 1986, brought together over 650 scientists from 19 countries to review and update research on cardiovascular disease. In this volume, which contains 59 chapters, an internationally recognized group of authors con tribute up-to-date accounts of molecular and cellular processes occurring in the vessel wall in atherogenesis and describe approaches to the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. The volume is divided into six major sections. Two sections deal with current aspects of lipoprotein metabolism. In Part I, we are alerted to the impact on li poprotein metabolism of structural hete...
The Eleventh World Congress of the International Society for Heart Re search 1983 provided an opportunity to review some of the growing points in our knowledge of the structure and function of the myocardium. Those at the meeting will recall how London suddenly went tropical. Yet aseries of scintillating reviews held over six hundred scientists captive in the lecture halls of Imperial College. There were sessions on nuclear magnetic reso nance, the molecular basis of electrophysiology, calmodulin, protein syn thesis and degradation, oxygen free radicals, the structural components of the myocyte, sarcolemmal sodium exchange, and the influence of lipids on membranes. Here we have gathered together, as quickly as possible, a number of the presentations of the speakers invited to the symposia. They give, we believe, a striking picture ofthe diversity oftechnology and scientific enquiry which underlies this immensely active domain of modern cardiology. If only our clinical colleagues were more aware of it! Peter Harris Philip A.
