    The paper presents a methodology and an IJK - algorithm to calculate an interval estimate of a system reliability function using statistical or expert interval estimators of the reliability functions of mutually independent system elements. The interval reliability calculations are based on interval arithmetic and the algorithm uses the method of list and the neighbourhood matrix of the graph of a given reliability system.

    Based on the fuzzy probability distribution and its properties, the paper defines the fuzzy reliability and its characteristics for the double-state probability model of object. Two fuzzy reliability models are described that are based on the Weibull fuzzy distribution. The results can be applied to determining the reliability of real objects in cases where pre-failure times are of a vague numerical type.

    The paper deals with theoretical fundamentals the fuzzification of random events and probability. Using the triangular norms and fuzzy sigma algebra, we introduce some concept such as Zadeh-type fuzzy probability of fuzzy event with regard to generalized the fuzzy set operations by means of the triangular norms.

    Effects of Micardis (Telmisartan), alone or with low-dose aspirin, on blood pressure and other cardiovascular endpoints are examined in 20 patients with MESOR-hypertension in a crossover, double-blind, randomized study consisting of three stages, each lasting 7 days: I-placebo, II-Micardis, and III-Micardis with low-dose aspirin.
