conclusions diagnosis of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in children is important, since appropriate treatment improves the prognosis. every child with recurrent and persistent palpitation with the first episode of congestive heart failure should be evaluated for tachycardia- induced cardiomyopathy. introduction tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (tic) is a ventricular dysfunction secondary ...

The nonexcitonic character for organometal trihalide perovskites is demonstrated by examining the field-dependent exciton dissociation behavior. It is found that photogenerated excitons can be effectively dissociated into free charges inside perovskite without the assistance of charge extraction layer or external field, which is a stark contrast to the charge-separation behavior in excitonic ma...

Following AVN ablation, eight dogs were surgically instrumented for chronic (continuous) HIS-bundle pacing. For data collection, implanted pacemakers were transiently programmed to pace in stepwise ascending ramps at rates from 50 to 200 beats/min in 30-beat/min steps. Each rate was held for 60 seconds. At each rate, ECG signals were collected from conscious dogs for measurements of QT interval...

  Cor triatriatum is an acyanotic congenital heart disease. We present a rare case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 6-month-old female infant who was presented with cyanosis and failure to thrive. The 2D transthoracic echocardiography and the Doppler color flow imaging showed a proximal venous chamber communicating to the distal left atrium  through restrictive opening to the low-pressure, dis...

Propene dissociation channels were characterized by ab initio CCSD(T)/6-311++g(d,p) calculations. Inthis work the detailed mechanism of propene dissociation to C2H4+CH2, C2H2+H+CH3, C2H2+CH4 andC3H3+H2+H have been investigated. According to our calculations, ten fragments can be classified intofive dissociated channels. Our results point out that two mechanisms come into play in the H2 eliminat...

The acid dissociation constants of the hydroxyl groups in 25, 26, 27, 28-tetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetrasulphonic-calix[4]arene (SC4) were determined at 25οC by a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric titration method. The first and second acid dissociation constants (pKa1, pKa2) were found to be 3.19 and 12.1, which demonstrated pKa shift due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding ...
