Abstract:
We report a case of right bundle branch block, in which the patient's symptoms and the electrocardiogram findings mimicked those of acute coronary syndrome. In this case report, we stress the significance of apparent ST segment elevation in right bundle branch block. The differential diagnosis is important because right bundle branch block is often complicated with acute coronary syndrome. In addition, right bundle branch block with an ST segment elevation in the specific leads can be a predictor of sudden cardiac death. In such cases, close monitoring of the electrocardiogram findings and careful observation of the patient's symptoms would be necessary.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
