Duplication of mitral valve is a very rare anomaly. It is characterized by two independent mitral valve apparatuses (leaflets and annulus) and subvalvular apparatuses (chordae and papillary muscles) that function well by themselves. In this report, we present duplicate mitral valve with parachute chordal attachment and mitral stenosis in an infant. The patient was successfully treated with the ...

INTRODUCTION Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a valuable treatment for the patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. In this method, after diagnosis of pathological cardiac rhythms, shock is automatically applied to normalize the rhythms. Shock is discharged when the patients are conscious, but the patients' experiences of shock have remained unknown. Thus, this study aimed to id...

Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Number of Papers published in non peer-reviewed journals: Final Report: Verification and Validation of the Spring Model Parachute Air Delivery System in Subsonic Flow Report Title A mesoscale spring-mass model is used to mimic fabric surface motion. Through coupling with an incompressible fluid solver, the spring-mass model is applied to the...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resisted and un-resisted sprint training programmes (STP) on acceleration and maximum speed performance. Sixteen sprint athletes divided into two groups (resisted group -RG and un resisted group UG, n = 8 each), age 25 ± 4 y, height 172 ± 0.8 cm and weight 61.5 ± 10.6 kg. RG followed the STP towing a large size parachute and the UG followe...

Introduction: The Parachute Acrobatic Patrol of the Air Force (PAPEA) is an international elite team in this sport. The environmental conditions in which they do his work; 3-4 daily jumps from 2300-11000 feet, the speed of their bodies during the free fall, the abrupt changes of altitude, and also temperature and atmospheric pressure can produce modifications in their bodily composition and lev...

A 21-year-old woman was admitted to our unit with suspected infective endocarditis. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated vegetation in a parachute-like asymmetrical mitral valve with severe mitral regurgitation. She was completely asymptomatic before this presentation. Though there was no evidence of mitral stenosis, this deformity is associated with transvalvular turb...
