Assessment of Regional Myocardial Strain using Cardiac Elastography: Distinguishing Infarcted from Non-Infarcted Myocardium

Estimation of the regional mechanical properties of the cardiac muscle has been shown to play a crucial role in the detection of cardiovascular disease. Current echocardiography-based cardiac motion estimation techniques, such as Doppler Myocardial Imaging (DMI), are limited due to angle dependence. By contrast, elastography, a method designed and used for the detection of tumors, measures disp...

Outcome of tongue cancer and early diagnosis

Back ground and Objective:Oral cancer is primarily a disease of epithelial origin. The tongue is the most common site of oral cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of tongue cancer and signs, symptoms, clinical features, and site of lesions in addition to factors affected this cancer.  Materials Methods and:Twenty eight medical records of patients who a...

Rupture of the Infarcted Interventricular Septum

R UPTURE of the interventricular septum, one of the most dramatic complications of myocardial infaretion, has become a wellrecognized clinical entity that is readily confirmed by cardiac catheterization. Since the usual course is that of rapid deterioration and early death, surgical repair of the defect is indicated once the diagnosis has been established. The medical literature contains only a...

Nanoparticles for targeting the infarcted heart

We report a nanoparticulate system capable of targeting the heart after myocardial infarction (MI). Targeting is based on overexpression of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) in the infarcted heart. Liposomes 142 nm in diameter were conjugated with a ligand specific to AT1. The nanoparticles were able to specifically target cardiac cells in vitro, and in the infarcted heart after intravenous ...
