The authors report eight instances of ECT-induced postictal (emergence) delirium that occurred after bilateral ECT, right unilateral ECT, or left unilateral ECT. They conclude that postictal delirium is a random phenomenon unrelated to lateralized hemispheric mechanisms.

A two week old girl with tetralogy of Fallot and atrioventricular septal defect underwent palliation, for severe hypoxaemia, by balloon dilatation to the right ventricular outflow tract. This procedure was repeated once over the next eight months without complications. Serial right ventricular angiograms showed growth of the hypoplastic pulmonary ring ("annulus"), trunk, and arteries. Balloon d...

IT HAS been more than 10 years since our first successful anastomosis of the side of the superior vena cava to the distal end of the right pulmonary artery in a dog.' The dog is still alive, in fact is robust and leading an active life in a domestic environment. In the 10 years following, several hundred experimental anastomoses have been performed. Results of these have been reported recently....

We report a case of a 50-year-old female with diabetes mellitus who presented with progressive second, third, fifth, sixth, and eighth cranial nerve palsy. Diagnostic investigation revealed hyperglycemic state, and brain imaging showed a right cavernous sinus enhancement suggestive of and consistent with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome. The patient was started on steroids with tight glycemic control for e...

The intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) takes second position after the premature births as a cause for neonate with smaller weight for it's gestational age. Perinatal morbidity of retard children is important, but perinatal mortality is about eight times higher then normal weighted neonates. It is very important to make the right diagnosis of IUGR, the cause of their illness, the therapy th...

A major right hemispheric infarct developed in a 31-year-old man within forty-eight hours of lung resection for metastatic synovial-cell sarcoma. Post mortem exam revealed tumorous occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. Major stroke from cerebral tumor embolus should be seriously considered in patients with primary or metastatic lung cancer who have had a very recent pneumonectomy, esp...

Introduction: Any foramen in the buccal surface of mandibular body that transfers mental nerve and vessels except mental foramen, is called Accessory Mental Foramen (AMF). The objective of this study was the determination of the AMF using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods:  this descriptive study was done on 180 CBCT projections which were selected by convenience samp...

We discuss parallel algorithms for solving eight common standard and generalized triangular Sylvester-type matrix equation. Our parallel algorithms are based on explicit blocking, 2D block-cyclic data distribution of the matrices and wavefront-like traversal of the right hand side matrices while solving small-sized matrix equations at different nodes and updating the rest of the right hand side...

We operated on 56 adults diagnosed with atrial septal defect (ASD) between 1990 and 2004. Of these, eight had complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the preoperative period. After 1998, right atrial separation was performed in four cases. Marked improvement was noted in three out of the four cases. The right atrial separation procedure was a simple, easy, and effective method for the trea...
