  Example a part of article containing the adjective clauses (underline) :

The study found that the pump, known as a VAD, for ventricular assist device, is superior to the most potent drugs for heart failure and may eventually prevent the deaths of up to 100,000 Americans each year, the study's authors told a meeting of the American Heart Association. The findings may change the treatment of heart failure, a major cause of death in the United States, said Dr. Eric A. Rose, the main investigator in the study and chairman of the department of surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in Manhattan. The term heart failure refers to a specific condition in which the heart muscle becomes weak and cannot pump effectively. It is often caused by coronary artery disease, heart attacks or high blood pressure. Nearly five million Americans live with varying degrees of heart failure, and more than a half-million develop the condition each year. Half of those who receive the diagnosis die within five years, despite advances in drug therapy. Assist pumps were first developed as a temporary measure to keep people with advanced heart failure or other severe cardiac problems alive while they waited for heart transplants. But when many patients, unable to get transplants, lived with the pumps for long periods some for four years doctors began looking to the device as a permanent therapy. Long-term use was proved feasible in the study, which was the first to compare the pumps and the latest drugs for patients with the most severe heart failure, Dr. Rose said. The risk of death in the study was 48 percent lower among patients who received the device than among those receiving the most potent cardiac drugs.

Nevertheless, Dr. Rose said that the device was not a cure for heart failure and that it involved a complication rate 2.35 times higher than that for drugs in the study. The complications included serious infections, bleeding and mechanical malfunctions like motor failure, kinking of the tubes and worn bearings. Dr. Rose said that the rate of complications was expected to fall with modifications to the device. Heart failure is the only form of heart disease that is increasing in this country. The reason is that hundreds of thousands of patients who have survived heart attacks or had coronary bypass operations go on to develop heart failure as their heart disease progresses. Assist pumps may eliminate the need for some transplants, and so may help alleviate the serious shortage of donor hearts for transplant. Permanent assist pumps would also eliminate the risks of the immune- suppressing drugs that transplant recipients need to prevent rejection of the donated heart. Fewer than 2,200 heart transplants were performed in this country in 1999. More than 4,000 patients were on the waiting list, and many died before an organ became available. Many more have died before they could even get on the list. Dr. Rose said that if the Food and Drug Administration approved assist pumps for permanent use, he expected treatment of end-stage heart failure eventually to resemble that of end-stage kidney failure. "It is premature to say that VADS are as good a treatment now as dialysis," he said, "but you could envision that over time" they would become so.

Subject-Verb Agreement

Tugas 1 & 2 Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2

•  Subject

The subject is one of the two main constituents of a clause, according to a tradition that can be tracked back to Aristotle and that is associated with phrase structure grammars, the other constituent is the predicate. According to another tradition, i.e. the one associated with predicate logic and dependency grammars, the subject is the most prominent overt argument of the predicate. Both traditions see the subject in English governing agreement on the verb or auxiliary verb that carries the main tense of the sentence, as exemplified by the difference in verb forms between he eats and they eat.

The subject has the grammatical function in a sentence of relating its constituent (a noun phrase) by means of the verb to any other elements present in the sentence, i.e. objects, complements and adverbials.

          The subject is a phrasal constituent, and should be distinguished from parts of speech, which, roughly, classify words within constituent.

•  Verb

       A verb, from the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), an occurrence (happen, become), or a state of being (be, exist, stand). In the usual description of English, the basic form, with or without the particle to, is the infinitive. In many languages, verbs are inflected (modified in form) to encode tense, aspect, mood and voice. A verb may also agree with the person, gender, and/or number of some of its arguments, such as its subject, or object. 

        And verb divided into 2:

Irreguler Verb
