Regional two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic amplitude patterns, or image texture, may be of diagnostic importance. Echocardiographic image texture is due in part to acoustic speckle, a complex pattern of interference of reflections from many small scatterers in tissue. The regional speckle pattern appears to be altered in several disorders associated with abnormalities in myocardial structu...

We examined the ability of individual regions of the canine left ventricle to increase blood flow relative to baseline rates of perfusion. Regional coronary flow was measured by injecting radioactive microspheres over 90 seconds in seven anesthetized mongrel dogs. Preliminary experiments demonstrated a correlation between the regional distributions of blood flow during asphyxia and pharmacologi...

This is a report of a penile fibrosarcoma in a two-year-old crossbred Holstein bull. The ulcerated tumormass with dimensions of 7 × 9 × 6.5 cm, was enveloped the glans and body of the penis. It had a white-graycolor at cross section appearance. There was no metastatic evidence of regional lymph node enlargement.Histopathologically, elongated spindle-shaped cells arranged densely in the interwov...

This study aims to estimate regional and gender differences in the prevalence of alcohol consumption in Croatia. It is based on the data obtained from the Croatian Adult Health Survey 2003. The highest prevalence of alcohol consumption in men was reported in Eastern Croatia (14.1%). Men living in the Mountainous region had the lowest prevalence of reported alcohol consumption (8.8%). In contras...

Nowadays, in China, there exist obvious regional economic differences. However, narrowing such differences involves solving the problem of regional innovation differences. Furthermore, regional innovation capability disparity is an important factor in explaining the imbalances between regional economic development and international economic development. Hence, the study first adopts the Theil i...

Background Left ventricular rotational deformation, which arises from contraction of myofibers arranged in a helical structure, plays a crucial role in cardiac mechanics. Myocardial dysfunction in cardiomyopathies is usually associated with altered diastolic rotation [1-3]. However, regional myocardial abnormalities in various cardiomyopathies may result in regional alterations of both systolic...

extended abstract 1.introduction relationship pattern has a complex, combinational and also intelligible nature in the current geopolitical structure of the world. civilizations’ relations together and civilization interactions include: engagement, competition and conflict in a range of geopolitical treatment pattern. some of spatial values which originated challenges among region country have ...

Three dogs (Boxer, Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd) between the age of 7-10 years were presented with the history of tumour masses on right caudo-lateral thigh, right cranial forearm and left cranial and caudal thoracic mammary gland region, respectively. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the tumour masses and the sentinel regional lymph nodes were done. Plain radiography was done to ru...

A pattern of geomagnetic fluctuations in central Australia shown by a magnetometer array with instruments spaced at distances of order 100 km has been investigated in detail by a follow-up study in south-west Queensland with array instruments at distances of order 20 km apart. On a regional scale the pattern is simple and two-dimensional, and is evidently correlated with the spatial distributio...
