OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of aortic valve area (AVA) calculations using the continuity equation with data obtained from the double envelope (DE) (simultaneously obtained left ventricular outflow tract [V1]) and aortic valve [V2] velocities) during intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). DESIGN Prospective study; measurements were performed on-line. SETTING University h...

At 680 grams, Ava was the tiniest baby received as of last January by the Bulrushes baby home in Kampala, Uganda. Abandoned in this bustling city of 1.4 million, she was covered in bugs when she was found a few hours after her birth and taken to a local hospital, where staff called Watoto Child Care Ministries, the church-based organization that runs Bulrushes. No one was sure the scrawny infan...

BACKGROUND We previously reported an Ser50Thr mutation in the NRL gene as a cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. OBJECTIVE To determine the characteristic features of the autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa phenotype associated with the NRL Ser50Thr mutation in affected individuals from 4 related families. METHODS Clinical records were available for 21 affected individuals;...

The objective of seismic imaging is to obtain an image of the subsurface reflectors, which is very important for estimating whether a reservoir is beneficial for oil/gas exploration or not. It can also provide the relative changes or absolute values of three elastic parameters: compressional wave velocity Vp, shear wave velocity Vs , and density ρ. Two ways can achieve the objectives. In approa...

PURPOSE To describe a previously unreported clinical entity of progressive extensive macular atrophy and pseudodrusen-like appearance in middle-aged patients. DESIGN Clinical, electrophysiologic, and molecular retrospective study. METHODS The database of an outpatient clinic unit for genetic sensory diseases was screened for patients older than 40 years with uncharacterized macular dystroph...

Alginate, or irreversible hydrocolloid, is one of the most accepted impression materials used in dentistry. However, some substances existing in these materials can be toxic. The aim of this study was to assess the cytotoxicity of alginates for dental applications. Fourteen different alginates were assessed: Jeltrate, Jeltrate Plus, Jeltrate Chromatic, Alga Gel, Printer Gel, Ava Gel, New Print,...

PURPOSE To examine an association between macular Bruch's membrane defects (MBMD) and a dome-shaped appearance of the macula (DSM). DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series study. METHODS The study included highly myopic individuals who were consecutively examined between May 2014 and December 2015. The patients underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) for visualizat...

AIMS Continuity equation to evaluate aortic valve area (AVA(CE)) is critically dependent on accurate measurement of left ventricular outflow tract diameter and velocity. To circumvent these limitations, the present study aimed to generate nomograms for a facilitated estimation of aortic valve area using peak aortic valve pressure gradient (DeltapAv) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)...
