Like the Statute of Liberty, Ellis Island's main building is a French-inspired symbol of the U.S. There are some lovely photos of the architecture on nyc-architecture.com. Only a third of immigrants admitted to the U.S. at Ellis Island remained in New York.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A nitrovasodilator is a pharmaceutical agent that causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) by donation of nitric oxide (NO), and is mostly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris. This group of drugs includes nitrates (esters of nitric acid), which are reduced to NO in the body. Examples are:
For acute reduction of arterial pressure, the potent vasodilator sodium nitroprusside is effective. To reduce dP/dt acutely, administer an IV beta-blocker in incremental doses until a heart rate of 60-80 beats/min is attained.etoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL). Metoprolol is a selective beta1-adrenergic receptor blocker that decreases the automaticity of contractions. During IV administration, carefully monitor the blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiogram (ECG).
