OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-generated tailored intervention leaflet compared with a generic leaflet aimed at increasing brown bread, wholegrain cereal, fruit and vegetable intakes in adolescent girls. DESIGN Clustered randomised controlled trial. Dietary intake was assessed via three 24 h dietary recalls. SETTING Eight secondary schools in areas of low income and/o...

BACKGROUND We hypothesize that 2 tendon-like anterior basal stay chords, which remain taut during the entire cardiac cycle, limit the motion of the anterior mitral leaflet. METHODS AND RESULTS Sonomicrometric crystals were implanted in 6 sheep at the insertion of stay chords at anterior mitral leaflet (S1 and S2), papillary muscle tips, fibrous trigones, mitral annulus, and the tip of the ant...

BACKGROUND 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior to 2D TEE in quantitative anatomic evaluation of the mitral valve (MV) but it shows limitations regarding automatic quantification. Here, we tested the inter-/intra-observer reproducibility of a novel full-automated software in the evaluation of MV anatomy compared to manual 3D assessment. METHODS Thirty-six out of 61 screened p...

Audiogames, which are supposed to be accessible to the blind, have two problems related to language to be understood by most of their users : the first one is linked to an instruction reading phase, which is often essential, and the pleasure of which is often very different from the pleasure of playing the game. The second problem is even more bothersome: the major part of candidates for playin...

Leaflets of the tricuspid valve are provided by tendinous cords extending from the papillary muscles. The situation is complicated with the septal muscles, which generally occur in two groups, one as constant musculus coni arteriosi and the second as other variable septal muscles. We tested whether there is a variability in the provision of the tricuspid valve in different taxonomical groups of...
