Joyetech CUBIS Review

In this post, we’re going to take a closer look at Joyetech’s recent tank – the Cubis. It’s been around for a while now and it’s only fair to give you our take on it. Right now, it really hangs in the balance when you consider popular opinion. Personally, I’ve had issues with Joyetech’s equipment, especially their tanks but their rather bold claims about the Cubis merit an inspection. So without further ado, let’s dive into Joyetech Cubis tank review.

Bottom Line
Joyetech Cubis is a good tank that will, hopefully, prompt other manufacturers to re-think the top fill system and make it even more convenient for vapers. Is this my new favorite tank? I don’t think so – there are still some kinks that need to be worked out for it to come even close. But do I think it’s a good investment? Certainly! It performs decently and, other than some spit-back issues, it provides a rather decent vaping experience. Plus, it’s affordable and is definitely not a piece of gear that’s going to break the bank.

Is it worth buying?

All things considered, I guess that the Joyetech Cubis showed to be a good contender in its price range. Joyetech is definitely pushing the envelope when it comes to design and making things easier for vapers. Its biggest selling point is the clean top fill and clever cup-style tank design.

Smaller kinks such as airflow control, small print, and adding a cage to protect the glass could be easy to resolve should Joyetech decide to really revamp this tank. But even as is, this tank will provide a decent amount of vaping joy to many vapers out there. If you’re not really set on getting the taste just right and you can live with a few shortcomings on Cubis’, you might have just found yourself a perfect new tank!

The Packaging

joyetech cubis packaging

Not much to say on this front. Joyetech has always paid great attention to their packaging, in that they’ve always made sure that any equipment you order comes intact and without a scratch. The same applies to the Joyetech Cubis. It’s stored away in a nice little plain white box. On the face of it, you will see a depiction of the Cubis. The one shown there is always silver – for example, mine is completely black. On the back of the box, you will find a couple of words about the Cubis, what you can find in the box, and your serial number.

The tank is protected in a foam insert that fits it snuggly and lying next to it you will see an additional drip-tip. At the base of the box, you will find a small Joyetech box containing your coil heads and a tank cap.

The Joyetech Cubis atomizer package includes:

  • 2 X Cubis mouthpiece (one black or silver and the other one clear/transparent)
  • 1 X Mouthpiece base
  • 1 X Vent ring
  • 1 X Vent pipe
  • 1 X Atomizer tube
  • Screw-on cup cap
  • BF SS316 0.5ohm coil
  • BF SS316 1.0ohm coil
  • BF Clapton 1.5ohm coil
  • Warranty card
  • Coil reference card
  • User manual

Basically, you’re getting the tank, the coils, and very little in extra equipment. A spare glass would definitely be a nice addition, seeing how this design leaves the prospect of breaking the tank easily wide open.

Here’s a quick list of the tank’s most important features – props to Joyetech for pushing the boundaries when it comes to top fill – the Cubis is really special in that respect.

Joyetech Cubis Cupped Design Features:

  • Dimensions: 2-3/8″ x 7/8″
  • 22mm Diameter
  • 510 Threaded
  • 5ml tank capacity
  • SS construction
  • Pyrex glass
  • Innovative top fill
  • Cup design
  • Top airflow control
  • Stainless steel and Delrin drip tips

Design and Quality of Make

I guess that the Joyetech Cubis is what you would call a minimalistic tank. It offers very little in terms of bells and whistles and attractive design features but it does have a clean look to it that some vapers will appreciate. As for myself, as much as I do appreciate a great-performing, clean tank I do like most my tanks to be stunning lookers – call me superficial!

But all in all, from a design standpoint, the Joyetech Cubis doesn’t really disappoint. It’s a smaller tank with a capacity of 3.5ml and you won’t have any doubts about how much juice is left inside. The glass is practically uncovered – what stands in for a cage are two small straps of metal that run down on both side of the tank providing an appearance of protection. Personally, I don’t feel that they are enough. I’m a bit clumsy so I drop my equipment on a regular basis. With the glass being so open and exposed I fear that it might crack sooner rather than later.

But that aside, all parts fit snuggly and Cubis does look as if it was built to last – at least in the hands of vapers who are more careful with their gear than yours truly.

Now, while everything fits great on the Cubis atomizer tank I’m expecting things to get a bit loose eventually. The drip tips and the coil mount don’t wiggle just yet but it would have been mighty nice of Joyetech to include some extra O-rings in the package. As things stand now I’m going to have to order the O-rings separately once these stop being usable.

Cup-Style Design

At the risk of going against the grain here, I’m perfectly comfortable with calling Cubis a top-fill tank. Basically, it’s just that and probably more so than other tanks that advertise the same feature. With other tanks, you have to fiddle with slots and droppers. It’s less messy than with bottom fill tanks but can still get pretty slippery.

joyetech cubis cupped design

On the Joyetech Cubis, the top part, containing the mouthpiece and the coil head, simply unscrews. What you’re left with is basically a cup that holds the juice without spilling a drop of it. The days when we had to unscrew the tank from the mod to fill it are long gone – finally, so are the days when the top filling was a messy endeavor. There is one annoying thing about all this: screwing and unscrewing the top can be a bit squeaky. The notches are tightly packed to ensure that the tank doesn’t leak when tipped over but this means that it takes a while to sit the top properly to screw it down. Once you manage to do that you will be greeted with noticeable metal-on-metal, high-pitched noise that’s more than enough to make the hairs on the back of my hand stand up.

A great thing about this design is that it’s virtually leak-proof. The bottom part of the tank is completely sealed – there are no joints on there that might give way and leak fluid on to (and into) your mod. That is definitely a huge plus for Joyetech and a bit of innovative design I hope other manufacturers adopt.

However, this type of fill means that you have to be very careful when filling the tank. The tank has a little mark on the outside that says –MAX – and yes, it’s literally that small! Go over it and you will have a tough time filling the tank without it overflowing once you try to close it. This is a bit of a problem on the black Cubis – you see, the writing is also black and it’s very difficult to notice and see. It does take a bit of practice (and a pair of glasses) to get it just right.

Airflow Adjustment

The airflow adjusts on the Joyetech Cubis – although you wouldn’t really say so on the first glance. The airflow adjustment feature is on the top, just below the mouthpiece. The problem with it is that it’s hidden. Joyetech really obviously wanted to make this tank look as simple as possible so the airflow adjustment control is barely visible.

It’s not too big of an issue if you like to vape with the vents fully open like I do. But if you like to tweak airflow constantly and based on the juice you’re vaping, you’ll easily get frustrated with controls on the Cubis atomizer. Since you cannot see the air slots at all, it’s virtually impossible to see to what extent they’re open or closed. The only thing you can certainly know is whether it’s completely open or completely closed – everything else is pure guesswork.

Vaping Experience

This is what makes or breaks the tank for me – a tank can be beautifully designed with tons of great features but if it doesn’t perform then it’s just not doing its job. The Cubis tank performs well, I can’t say it doesn’t but is enough? Sadly, for me, it’s not.

I tested all three coils that come with it and I can’t say I’m completely satisfied with either of them. The first one, SS316 0.5ohm coil, produces a fair bit of vapor but because of very restricted intake slots you’re going to get a fair number of dry hits. In addition, the flavor is a bit off – my favorite juices tasted a bit bland when compared to how they usually taste. So the verdict – wicking spelled doom for this particular coil. On the upside, if you’re a straight to lungs type of vaper then you’re going to prefer this one to all the others.

SS316 1.0ohm coil performed a bit better for me in terms of flavor. It’s richer and requires little power to vape – between 10 and 25W. For me, it worked best on 20W but I guess that’s going to be a matter of preference.

MTL vapers are probably going to enjoy Clapton 1.5ohm coil even though I do find it a bit of a puzzle. The vape is cool and less flavorsome than I would like, though. It’s rated at 20W maximum but the best results are achieved somewhere around 15W.

The overall vaping experience with Joyetech Cubis would be just fine if there wasn’t for one striking issue I couldn’t resolve. I’m talking about spit-back here. I own two Cubis tanks and on both of them spit-back is a major issue. It can be resolved temporarily by drying the vent pipe and shaking out the excess liquid but that is not a permanent solution. Hopefully, the new NotchCoil system will offer some relief for both spit-back and flavor issues – I’m definitely excited to test it out.

Cleaning and Disassembly

The Joyetech Cubis is easy to disassemble and to clean. Thanks to the innovative cup design it’s easy to get rid of leftover juice and to rinse the tank out. The top part also disassembles so if you want everything squeaky clean after vaping (like I do) you’re going to appreciate the ease with which it can be done.

This tank also comes with a transparent top cap you can use to close the tank while you’re cleaning the coil mount and the drip tip. While I don’t foresee using it all that much it does look cool and I definitely salute Joyetech for thinking outside the box with this.

The decennial Indian census is the world’s largest administrative exercise. It cost around Rs 2,200 crore in 2011. The next census is due in 2021. But with the tremendous drive towards digitisation, how long will this gigantic exercise go on as the primary tool for planning national progress?

The British census, first undertaken in 1801, will also be conducted in 2021. But the British government wanted to replace it with analysis from existing data from other sources after 2021. Moreover, the UK Statistics Authority has proposed that the 2021census should be conducted predominantly online, supplemented by tax and National Health Service (NHS) records.

The paper exercise in 2021would have cost around £1billion (more than Rs 82 billion). But the largely online census would save 40% of costs. In 2014, the British government confirmed that it would aspire not to undertake the census after 2021. Instead, a more regular administrative data would be used to produce statistics.

Britain does not have a unique identity (UID) database yet, although the £5 billion (about Rs 411 billion) national identity card scheme was initiated with much enthusiasm. But, in 2010, the then-home secretary Theresa May scrapped the scheme. So, in Britain, the plan is that by combining existing statistics, such as council tax records, school admission statistics, tax records and NHS data, statisticians could provide a similar level of data to the census, but at a lower cost and on a more frequent basis.

But we have Aadhaar. With the Aadhaar database, census might become unnecessary in India. Still mandatory for filing income-tax returns, and growing traction — at least prior to this week’s Supreme Court verdict on privacy as a fundamental right, leaving the verdict’s effect on Aadhaar to be clarified by a five-judge bench later —for schemes like scholarships and compensation, Aadhaar can provide a database cheaper and more informative than the census.

When the Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Aadhaar cards are connected, all the information associated with the former is automatically transferred to the latter. So, all the economic activities can subsequently be monitored by Aadhaar — making the PAN redundant. The same future holds for the voter card, below-poverty line (BPL) card, government health insurance cards and other IDs.

Eventually, the Aadhaar database could become a dynamic census database, ready to serve any purpose at any point of time. Then, one just needs some efficient data-mining tool, some carefully written programmes, which will be able to extract all the information from the Aadhaar database that we collect in a census, with utmost accuracy.

If Aadhaar is not derailed, 2021may well see the end of a tradition that started in 1872 in this country. And to save money, the 2021census could also be conducted overwhelmingly online. Then, if the data of Census 2021 is properly digitised, tallied and linked with the Aadhaar database, we may not need to carry out any future census exercise.

On the Spot with Steven Ramey

“On the Spot” backs members of Culture on the Edge into a corner to talk about their backgrounds, their ongoing work, and what might be gained by an alternative understanding of how identity works.

An image of Steven Ramey1) When people ask what you study, what do you tell them?

Typically, I respond with the straightforward “Religions of India, like Hinduism and Islam” or “Religions of Asia.” While the answer prompts some people to talk about whomever they know who is from India or has visited India, the perceived exotic nature of India, Hinduism, and Islam means that fewer people are confident to start a lengthy discourse about India, as some people do if I simply answer “religion.”

2) How do questions of identity manifest in your research?

My initial intention was to study the difference between strict religious identifications and the fluidity of practice, as many in India participate in practices that we commonly identify with competing religions. Self-identified Hindus not only celebrate festivals with their co-workers and friends who identify as Muslim, but they also often pray for healing or assistance at Sufi shrines. Similarly, self-identified Muslims have cooperated with Hindus in both ritual and non-ritual practices, even serving as sponsors and performers in particular festivals. And the same dynamics play out among people who identify as Sikh, Jain, or Christian in many parts of India.

A related identity question, however, developed during my research, as it became apparent that diverse conceptions of practices and boundaries raised the issue among people in India of who counts as a Hindu, Muslim. Jain, Sikh, or Christian. These more rigid arguments not only add complexity to the flexibility of practices that I began studying, but they also have significant consequences for groups whose self-identification comes into question, leading them to contest the dominant definitions of who counts as a follower of their particular religion.

3) Can you give us an example of this from your previous work?

My primary research topic, and first book, focused on people who identify as Hindus from the region of Sindh, now in Pakistan. Many migrated to India after Sindh became a part of Pakistan at Partition because they identified as Hindu, an identification that others in Sindh recognized. However, after migration, others in India questioned (and continue to question) the Hindu identification of some Sindhi Hindus because their forms of Hinduism did not match standard notions of Hinduism in India. Many Sindhi Hindus identified as devotees of Guru Nanak and the Guru Granth Sahib, elements that people in India more commonly label as as being a part of Sikhism, and thus a separate religion. The photo above of the canopy in the Hari Om Mandir, Lucknow, India, illustrates the veneration of Nanak alongside Rama and Krishna, among other elements. Moreover, some who identify with Sindhi Hindus were devotees of Sufi masters in Sindh, even identifying themselves as Hindu Sufis. Even though many in India visit Sufi shrines, whatever their religious identification is, identifying as a specific follower of a Sufi or venerating the Guru Granth Sahib made their Hindu-ness suspect. Competing understandings of Hinduism, Sikhism, and Sufism in India created significant frustration among some Sindhis that they were Hindu in Sindh at Partition but were not fully accepted as Hindu in India, the independent nation comprising Hindu majority areas after Partition.

4) Where are you hoping to go next with your scholarship?

My research has moved from the ethnographic work with Sindhi Hindus to reflections on the implications of their experiences (and those of many others) for the ways that we discuss religions. I have written about the attention that scholars should give to our presentation of classifications such as Hindu and Sikh, since we are often taking sides in debates over these labels without necessarily intending to do so, and thus furthering the marginalization of non-dominant groups (in the first volume from Culture on the Edge Book Series). I am now extending those reflections to consider alternative ways of describing in general, considering the critiques of power and the construction of knowledge and historical description that colleagues have been generating, drawing on the work of Hayden White, Arlette Farge, and other historians.

About Me

First off thank you for visiting!

Who am I?

My name is Luke Scorziell. I’m 18 years old, and I live in a small, rural town in Southern California. I founded TheEdgeofIdeas.com in March 2015, when I was a freshman in high school, and the Bills with Luke Scorziell podcast in January 2017. Both have been my passion throughout high school, and they have each taught me valuable lessons. I look forward to expanding and growing even more.

Why I started…

I started TheEdgeofIdeas.com with a few goals in mind. I wanted it to be a place where people could learn how to live their lives in a healthy, happy way. I wanted to make research more accessible to my audience. I also wanted to learn as much as I could about leading a happier, healthier life. Since starting, I’ve learned about the wonders of exercise, music, laughter, and many other simple rituals.

Bills with Luke Scorziell

2016 was the first election cycle I was able to fully immerse myself in. Initially, the partisan bickering attracted me, but by the end of the general election I had my fill. I knew we would never find solutions through ad-hominem attacks and outlandish rhetoric, so I decided to analyze the policy. Thus arose Bills with Luke Scorziell.

In each episode I planned to analyze a specific piece of legislation, looking not at the politics behind it, but the facts and research. I started with a bill requiring presidents to pay for their own security. It was proposed just after President Trump was elected and seemed to be a short-sighted partisan effort, a realization I had only after looking into it in more depth.

I wanted to help people learn about how politics actually affected them. It wasn’t the entertainment of a primary debate, but the policy of a sitting congress that would change their lives.

Taking a step forward…

One night, after publishing my first few episodes, I stayed up thinking of ways to expand my show. I wanted to get opinions straight from the experts. I started by interviewing my high school AP United States History teacher, Eric Newcombe. We talked about California’s Start School Later bill and its effects on teachers, students, and administrators.

After my publishing my conversation with Mr. Newcombe, I was inducted into the Start School Later Student Hall of Fame. I decided to reach out for an interview. Within about two weeks I conducted two interviews with leaders from their organization on the topic. One with Irena Keller, PhD, the California Chapter Leader, and another with Mariah Baugh, MD, the San Diego Chapter Leader.

After these interviews the show began to gain more traction, mainly because I gained more confidence and started reaching out to more people. Since then I’ve interviewed Arpit Chaturvedi, the Editor-in-Chief of the Cornell Policy Review; Bart Myers, the Founder and CEO of Countable.us; Daniel LaCalle, multi-published author and world’s second most influential economist; Timothy Keller, the lead attorney on the Supreme Court case Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn; and Timothy Buck, the founder of ReadaBill.com. I have more interviews planned.

What I’ve learned along the way…

The process of organizing and conducting interviews for Bills with Luke Scorziell has been an important learning process. It’s taught me more than a few lessons, but there’s one I’d like to share. I’ve learned the value of putting myself and my work out there. I’ve sent out more invitations than I have had interviews. But had I not simply asked, I would not be writing this today, and I obviously would not have interviewed the people I did. Having the confidence to ask has been pivotal.

Since starting this project in 2017, I have learned more than I ever imagined. I’ve made valuable connections with my audience and interviewees that I hadn’t known were possible before.

Thank you!

As I wrap up this About page, I’d just like to say thank you! Thank you for reading this, thank you for listening, and thank you for all the support you have given me. I could not have done it without you.

This chapter explores the broadcast roots of the quiz show in the British and American contexts, while considering how the development of the genre was shaped by the differing national systems of broadcasting (radio). This includes examining how public service (BBC) and commercial broadcasting systems approached the regulation and the development of the genre (such as the regulation of prizes). This also involves exploring the cultural anxieties which circulated around this type of programming, both institutionally and culturally. With regard to the British context, the chapter considers how the advent of commercial television (ITV) impacted on the genre, and how the American ‘quiz show’ scandals shaped its future development.

In Zimbabwe, the new Education Amendment Act has ensured rights and inclusion of marginalized children in school. But when news of changed policies travel slow, how can you ensure that students are aware of their rights and that schools know how to implement the changes? ECOZI, National Education Coalition of Zimbabwe, decided to spread awareness on national TV.

ECOZI – the national education coalition of Zimbabwe was established in June 2009.

EZOZI receives 300.000 USD over a 2-year period from Education Out Loud to work with education policy advocacy. ECOZI is one of the 54 national education coalitions currently receiving funding from EOL.

ECOZI is a Privat Voluntary Organization (PVO) network of organizations based all over Zimbabwe working within the education sector.

ECOZI is a democratically run coalition with a total of 54 member organizations.

ECOZI is member of the Education Coordinating Committee of Zimbabwe, the African Network Campaign on Education for All (ANCEFA) and Global Campaign for Education (GCE).

ECOZI works to unite civil society in Zimbabwe in the common pursuit of the right to quality, compulsory and free basic education for all and emphasizes publicly funded education.

ECOZI's website

In 2020, the implementation of the new Education Amendment Act begun in Zimbabwe. The Act addresses important issues not included in previous legislation such as corporal punishment, disability and girls’ education following pregnancy. ECOZI, the National Education Coalition of Zimbabwe funded by Education Out Loud, was one of the lead organizations engaging with the government and preparing amendments to the previous Education Act – making sure that the new Act was inclusive and secured rights for marginalized children.

It was a victory for ECOZI and Zimbabwe when the new Act was passed. But a problem remained. Advocacy and Communications Officer with ECOZI, Mercy Mangwana Mubayiwa, explains:

“It was not well known amongst most Zimbabweans - they had no idea what was going on with the new amendment. What were the changes? Which rights were ensured? We wanted to make sure that they knew that”.

In Zimbabwe, it takes long for news of policy changes to travel to remote regions. Changes are published in press releases by the authorities resulting in little if any engagement with the people affected by the changes. ECOZI wanted to address this:

“We thought; we need to popularize the Education Amendment Act. We need to break down the Act. The best way to do that was to engage with people through mass media. We decided, we would create a talk show” Mercy Mubayiwa says.

Airing on national TV

Every Sunday and Monday when you tune into the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Cooperation television channel, the talk show “Education 15” is aired. With the financial support of Education Out Loud, ECOZI created 13 TV episodes with different panels of CSO representatives, government officials and experts discussing topics related to the new Act.

“We sat down and looked at the key groups affected by the new Act. We decided which groups needed advocacy and which topics more awareness. And then we came up with an interview schedule for the episodes – each discussing a different topic from the Act” Mercy Mubayiwa explains.

It was important for ECOZI to reach people in all corners of the country and to involve organizations from all regions in the process of creating the talk show.

“We managed to shoot each episode in a different province. In Harare, for example, we filmed an episode about education and disability. We had representatives from organizations fighting for disability rights speaking directly to disabled students and their families on national TV. We discussed how to make sure that all schools in Zimbabwe have the facilities to accommodate students with disabilities. Enough classrooms, enough teachers” Mercy Mubayiwa recalls.

Learning Torch

Sharing advice and learnings

ECOZI's best advice to others:

Social capital and networking are the keys to ensuring change. You must use your social capital to hold those in power accountable, and to drive social change through them. It all begins with you breaking down the walls of the offices they hold and creating lasting professional relations, cognizant of the fact that they are ordinary human beings before being leaders and appealing to that makes them want to deliver.

They would like to learn:

Best practices on how to engage more in advocacy on the latest digital platforms including podcasting and listening through our social media engagement. Additionally, inspiration on how to enhance discussions and further feedback following our media campaign.

How do you plan a TV show?

It was clear for ECOZI that to really make the new Act matter, they had to reach a wide range of stakeholders: from policy makers and other organizations to parents and students. Planning a large media campaign and shooting a TV show requires extensive coordination. Coordinating with partner organizations from far away regions can be an additional challenge, Mercy Mubayiwa explains:

“The coordination was a bit hectic. But we used our network, our membership organizations and benefitted from collaborating with the Zimbabwe Child Rights Coalition which helped us coordinate and connect with new organizations”.

One of the most important aims of the campaign was to engage the government in the project and to make officials aware of their responsibility for implementing the new Act.

“It is quite difficult to get government entities involved when you are planning something to do with shooting video and speaking directly to the public. We succeeded with engaging government officials in the show by using our links with the ministries and the fact that we are working with them on various other projects. We managed to get them on board” Mercy Mubaryiwa proudly highlights.

Education for all children in Zimbabwe

Since the first TV episode aired in December 2020, word of mouth has helped spread news of the Act: “We have received very positive initial feedback from our member organizations and the general public. As the episodes are airing, we have people coming up to us saying: Hey, I have seen you on television!” Programme Manager, Clemence Nhliziyo explains smilingly.

The plan now is to broaden the reach of the campaign even more by collaborating with other TV channels and reaching out to stakeholders via YouTube and social media platforms – all to make sure that the new changes get out to everyone.

“We want to create an advocacy platform and make sure that everyone knows about the Act so that we see the actual changes on the ground. Our goal is, that when you walk into a school and ask about corporal punishment, disability rights or girl’s education following pregnancy, students know their rights and teachers knows how to implement the latest changes”.

Mercy Mubaryiwa takes a pause and adds:

“At the end of the day what we work towards every single day is getting to a point where every child in Zimbabwe has access to inclusive, quality education. Without limitations and regardless of their economic situation, where they are from in the country or who they are”.

Education Amendment Act in Zimbabwe

The Act came into force in May 2020.

In the process of identifying gaps in the previous Education Act, ECOZI was one of the lead organizations representing civil society in proposing relevant amendments to the previous Act.

The Act secures a long list of rights for pupils and protects marginalized groups in the education system which were not included in the previous Education Act. This includes protecting children from being suspended excluded, expelled, or discriminated against because of pregnancy, race, gender, religion, and many other circumstances which creates marginalization.

The Act has included measures on adult education ensuring that adults who have not completed basic education have the right to access education for free.

The Act addresses corporal punishment in schools and prohibits teachers from punishing and mistreating students both physically and psychologically.

The Act states that every registered school shall provide infrastructure and resources suitable to use for students with disabilities.

GSSAThe 1820 Settler Correspondence
 as preserved in the National Archives, Kew
 and edited by Sue Mackay

Additonal Information

This is pre 1820 information mainly taken from actual images of UK parish registers and other primary sources which I have personally researched. Further information about the settlers and their families once they reached the Cape can be found at

Sue Mackay

DANIEL, Sampson - Extra Data

(member of TURVEY's Party)

Brother of Peter Clarke DANIEL, also born in Dublin. He was also a jeweller and was definitely in London in 1810.

London Gazette: 18 August 1810 Dissolution of Partnership.

“..the partnership lately subsisting between Edward GAUBERT and Sampson DANIEL of 17 Duke's Court, Drury Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Working Jewellers, trading under the Firm of Gaubert and Daniel, was dissolved on the 11th day of August instant by mutual consent..”

The Settler Handbook lists his wife as Mary but sources in South Africa, including death notices, state that she was Amelia Margarith/Marguerite D'EGVILLE and that she and Sampson married at Gretna Green and lived in Scotland. There is also a marriage in Edinburgh on 28 August 1813 (OPR) which states “Sampson DANIEL, Jeweller, St.Andrews Parish and Amelia HARVEY, St.Cuthberts Parish, daughter of the late Peter HARVEY, Edinburgh.”

Serum profiles of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 as a biomarker for patients recovering from myocardial infarction

Katarzyna Korybalska, Małgorzata Pyda, Stefan Grajek, Magdalena Łanocha, Andrzej Brȩborowicz, Janusz Witowski

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

3 Scopus citations

Background: Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and has been proposed as a biomarker for patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: To assess its clinical usefulness, serum MCP-1 concentrations were measured in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) at admission, immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), at 24 h, and after 6 months. Results: We found no differences in MCP-1 concentrations between patients with acute MI, patients with stable coronary artery disease and healthy individuals. Although median MCP-1 concentrations in patients with MI were similar at admission and after 6 months, there were significant differences between individuals in how MCP-1 levels changed with time. As demonstrated by comparing baseline quartiles of MCP-1, the levels of MCP-1 tended to increase in patients with low MCP-1 concentration at admission, and decrease in patients with initially high MCP-1 levels. We found an inverse correlation between MCP-1 concentration at baseline and the time to reperfusion, and detected a significant decrease in MCP-1 concentration immediately after PCI. We also observed lower MCP-1 concentrations over time in patients who developed restenosis within 6 months. However, we did not confirm the association between MCP-1 concentrations at baseline and a number of previously implicated demographic, clinical and laboratory criteria. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate some new aspects of MCP-1 measurement in patients with MI, but do not corroborate many earlier observations.
