Metabolic alkalosis is a rare occurence in hemodialysis population compared to metabolic acidosis unless some precipitating factors such as nasogastric suction, vomiting and alkali ingestion or infusion are present. When metabolic alkalosis develops, it may cause serious clinical consequences among them are sleep apnea, resistent hypertension, dysrhythmia and seizures. Here, we present a 54-yea...

Spontaneous magnetoencephalographic activity was recorded in awake, healthy human controls and in patients suffering from neurogenic pain, tinnitus, Parkinson's disease, or depression. Compared with controls, patients showed increased low-frequency theta rhythmicity, in conjunction with a widespread and marked increase of coherence among high- and low-frequency oscillations. These data indicate...

Cardiac dysrhythmia is responsible for over half a million deaths in the United States annually. In this work, we evaluate the performance of neural networks on classifying electrocardiogram (ECG) sequences as normal or abnormal (arrhythmia). Using neural networks as our primary learning model, we explain our model’s performance and discuss hyperparameter tuning. Comparing the results of our mo...

Intracranial section of the glossopharyngeal and upper roots of the vagus nerves has been recommended, the cardiac dysrhythmia being controlled with atropine, isoprenaline, or transvenous pacemaker. Carbamazepine is known to relieve the pain of uncomplicated glossopharyngeal neuralgia.2 In our first patient the combination of carbamazepine and demand pacemaker abolished both pain and syncope wi...

In the dysrhythmias shown in our figure 1, two appeared before ST-segment elevation reached its acme and therefore were classified as representing an occlusive type of dysrhythmia. Some of the electrical abnormalities produced during the occlusive phase (i.e., progressive delay of subepicardial activation),7 are maintained during early phase immediately after coronary reperfusion. These may be ...

With the use of the superior transseptal approach during mitral valve surgery, good exposure of the mitral valve can be achieved with simple traction sutures, which minimize the risk of deformation of the mitral valve. For this reason, we routinely perform mitral valvoplasty using the superior transseptal approach; however, we, occasionally encounter cases that develop postoperative atrial dysr...
