BACKGROUND Electrocardiographically-detected left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of the Sokolow-Lyon-Rappaport (SLR) and Cornell voltage criteria in a population sample regarding the diagnosis of LVH on echocardiogram (ECHO). METHODS A total of 641 out of the 682 participants of the second ph...

the dynamic nature of projects and the fact that they are carried out in changing environments, justify the need for their periodic monitoring and control. collection of information about the performance of projects at control points costs money. the corrective actions that may need to be taken to bring the project in line with the plan also costs money. on the other hand, penalties are usually...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether the reproducibility of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area measurement is greater with three-dimensional echocardiographic (3D-echo) planimetry than with conventional 2D-echo. To determine the LVOT circularity index by means of 3D-echo. To determine the usefulness of measuring the LVOT area by 3D-echo for quantifying the severity of valvul...

PURPOSE To compare the sensitivity of conventional spin-echo, fast spin-echo, fast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and turbo gradient spin-echo MR sequences in the detection of multiple sclerosis lesions. METHODS Conventional spin-echo, fast spin-echo, fast FLAIR, and turbo gradient spin-echo sequences were performed on a 1.0-T MR imager in seven patients with clinically definite...

In 2016, the Government of India launched a national program for screening and prevention oral, breast, cervical cancer. support, National Institute Cancer Prevention Research (NICPR) adopted Project ECHO (Extension Community Healthcare Outcomes) model training health care providers in cancer screening. We assess change knowledge skills among physicians attending hybrid (i.e., online person) NI...
