The impact of Lecompte’s maneuver on superior vena cava (SVC) has never been mentioned before. We think that in certain anatomical subsets, Lecompte’s maneuver can result in superior vena cava narrowing. We present a case report of patient with Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve with retro-aortic innominate vein who developed SVC thrombosis after Lecompte’s maneuver.

The objective of this paper is to derive a rapid turn-around maneuver for micro aerial vehicles flying in densely cluttered environments, in the form of variable altitude turns optimized for spatial constraints. The design results in a motion primitive which can be implemented on miniature aircraft at large. The primitive is tested on an MAV equipped with just yaw control and no roll control. T...

Abstract Maneuver detection and estimation is deemed crucial for maintaining catalogs of Resident Space Objects (RSOs) as it helps to avoid sets duplicated objects track correlation issues. In fact, maneuvers, along with launches break-up events, are the main source potential new object detections during RSOs cataloging activities. For continuous reliable provision Situational Awareness (SSA) T...

INTRODUCTION Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vestibular dysfunction. OBJECTIVE To assess whether the performance of the Dix-Hallpike maneuver after the Epley positioning maneuver has prognostic value in the evolution of unilateral ductolithiasis of posterior semicircular canal. METHODS A prospective cohort study in monitored patients at oto...

Selective inflow occlusion (SIO) maneuver preserved inflow of nontumorous liver and was supposed to protect liver function. This study aims to evaluate whether SIO maneuver is superior to Pringle maneuver in patients undergoing partial hepatectomy with large hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Between January 2008 and May 2012, 656 patients underwent large HCC resections and were divided into 2 g...

Introduction: Heimlich maneuver is one of the first-aid maneuvers administered when the upper airway obstruction symptoms develop. Case Report: A 33-year-old female patient presented with sternum fracture due to the Heimlich maneuver. Conclusion: Sternal fracture can be developed after the Heimlich maneuver. In addition, the importance of bedside ultrasonography in the detection of fractures in...

In this paper, we use finite-difference time domain beam propagation method (FDTD-BPM) to analyze the pulse propagation in directional couplers. FDTD-BPM is an efficient method in numerical computation of optical passive components. The alternating-direction implicit method (ADIM) is applied to discretize the wave equation. The generalized Douglas (GD) scheme is used to the second order derivat...

In this report, a brief history of the Valsalva (Valsalva-Weber) maneuver is outlined, followed by an explanation on the use of this approach for the evaluation of cardiac autonomic function based on underlying heart rate changes. The most important methodological and interpretative aspects of the Valsalva-Weber maneuver are critically updated, and some guidelines are established for simple app...

OBJECTIVE A Valsalva maneuver is used clinically and on imaging in order to determine female pelvic organ prolapse. We have examined the potential confounding effect of levator co-activation at the time of a Valsalva maneuver and the impact of repetition with biofeedback instruction. METHODS Fifty nulliparous women at 36-38 weeks' gestation received 3D/4D translabial ultrasound investigation ...
