  Ace - Tardis - A Wikia wiki
Her weapon of choice, disapproved of by the Doctor (who nonetheless found it useful on occasion), was a powerful explosive she called "Nitro-9", which she mixed up in canisters and carried around in her backpack.
What the Doctor was aware of but Ace was not, was that her arrival on Iceworld was no accident, but part of a larger scheme conceived by Fenric, an evil that had existed since the beginning of the universe, a plan that stretched across the centuries.
Ace was a "Wolf of Fenric", one of many descendants of a Viking tainted with Fenric's genetic instructions to help free it from its ancient prison, and a pawn in the complex game between it and the Doctor.

 Sophie Aldred
In 1987 she was cast as Ace in Doctor Who.
She joined the Doctor on his travels and appeared in several stories (Ghost Light[?], The Curse of Fenric[?], and Survival[?]) that explored her character to an extent that previous companion characters had not been.
Both before and since Doctor Who, Aldred has had a varied and busy television career, particularly in children's programming, where she has presented educational programmes such as Corners, Melvin and Maureen's Music-a-grams and the long running BBC series Words and Pictures[?].

 ACE inhibitors for high blood pressure - [Medication]
ACE inhibitors are a good choice for people with diabetes because they do not affect blood sugar levels and may help protect the kidneys.
Because they have few side effects, ACE inhibitors may be a better choice than diuretics or beta-blockers in people who also have had a heart attack or have heart failure, asthma, high cholesterol, or disorders of the electrical system that regulates the heart rate (heart block).
ACE inhibitors must be used carefully in people with severe kidney failure caused by diabetic nephropathy.

 Ace (Doctor Who) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 20th-century Earth teenager from the London suburb of Perivale, she was a companion of the Seventh Doctor and a regular in the programme from 1987 to 1989.
Ace first appeared in the 1987 serial Dragonfire, where she was working as a waitress on the planet Iceworld.
Ace's fate has yet to be referred to in the new Doctor Who television series of 2005, making her one of the few companions whose departure from the TARDIS has yet to be chronicled on television.

 Doctor Who - The TV IV
Doctor Who (1963–1989, 1996, 2005–), the longest-running science fiction show in the history of television, was a popular British sci-fi show involving a time-traveling alien.
To date, there have been ten Doctors portrayed in the show, with the tenth being the current Doctor, who is portrayed by David Tennant since season 28.
The Doctor also goes through a series of companions (essentially people he picks up on his travels who stay with him and help him/get in trouble/scream incessantly) through the course of the show, such as his season 27–28 companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper).

 Who's Doctor Who? - The Companions 5
To her, and his surprise, The Doctor regenerated into a new form, and for a while it seemed that the unstable Sixth Doctor would be as great a menace to Peri as the villains she'd already faced (The Twin Dilemma).
Ace was a rebellious teenager from Perivale who was swept up by a timestorm and deposited on Iceworld, where she met Sabalom Glitz, Mel, and The Seventh Doctor (Dragonfire).
Perhaps The Doctor, who has always maintained his own mysteries, has deliberately done the same with his beloved protégé, and even now, somewhere, she fights evil, and faces the universe, on her own terms.

 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors - [Medication]
ACE inhibitors (and angiotensin II receptor blockers, also called ARBs) also act directly on the hormones that regulate sodium and water balance in the body.
ACE inhibitors, rather than ARBs, continue to be the medicine of choice for heart failure.
ACE inhibitors are often started in people who have recently had a heart attack and who have a damaged or weakened left ventricle but who do not yet have symptoms of heart failure.

 Altace prevents sudden cardiac death and nonfatal cardiac arrest - The Doctors Lounge(TM)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
ACE inhibitors are widely prescribed to patients following heart attacks and for those with heart failure.
Altace blocks ACE from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a powerful vasoconstrictor, leading to decreased blood pressure, decreased aldosterone secretion, a small increase in serum potassium levels, and sodium and fluid loss; increased prostaglandin synthesis also may be involved in the antihypertensive action.
Researchers now report that after an average of 4.5 years of treatment, 3% of the patients taking the ACE inhibitor had died from sudden cardiac death or experienced a nonfatal cardiac arrest, compared with 4% taking placebo.

 Doctor Who
Doctor Who, the world's longest continuously running television science fiction series, was made by the BBC between 1963 and 1989 (with repeats being shown in many countries thereafter, and negotiations with Steven Spielberg and others to make new programs continuing into the mid-1990s).
The Doctor was deliberately constructed as a character against stereotype: a "cranky old man", yet also as vulnerable as a child; an anti-hero playing against the more obvious "physical" hero of the schoolteacher Ian (himself played by the well-known lead actor in commercial television's Ivanhoe series).
Following Hartnell, the Doctor was played by the Chaplinesque "space hobo" Patrick Troughton, the dignified "establishment" figure of Jon Pertwee, the parodic visual mix of Bob Dylan and Oscar Wilde, Tom Baker, the vulnerable but "attractive to young women" Peter Davison, the aggressive and sometimes violent Colin Baker, and the gentle, whimsical Sylvester McCoy.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are often the first medications used to treat high blood pressure in people with kidney disease.
