purpose : to report a patient with urrets-zavalia (u-z) syndrome after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in both eyes case report : a 22-year-old woman with keratoconus associated with a central full thickness scar in both eyes underwent pkp in her right eye that was postoperatively associated with a fixed dilated pupil and severe fibrin reaction, posterior synechiae and mild anterior sub capsular...

Background. The right ventricle (RV) receives part of its systolic pumping force from the left ventricle through systolic ventricular interaction. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of dilated cardiomyopathy on left ventricular to right ventricular (LV-to-RV) systolic interaction. Methods and Results. Studies were performed in six normal pigs and in six pigs in which dilated...

Considerable progress has been made to identify genetic causation of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is characterized by left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction, and after known causes have been excluded has been termed idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Studies of IDC that occurs in families, termed familial dilated cardiomyopathy (FDC) provided the initial phenotypic data...
