After his first acute myocardial infarction, a 69-year-old male suffered the usually lethal complication of ventricular free-wall rupture. Early suspicion of possible rupture and immediate percutaneous insertion of an intraaortic balloon pump assist device afforded sufficient hemodynamic stability to proceed with cardiac catheterization. The diagnosis of ventricular free-wall rupture was confir...

Two cases are described of sudden death resulting from rupture of small chronic false aneurysm of the left ventricle with secondary hemopericardium. The cases support the point that rupture of chronic false left ventricular aneurysm tends to occur. This appears to be contrary to the potential for chronic true aneurysms of the left ventricle which tend not to rupture. Rupture of true left ventri...

Purpose: This study aims to measure the distance between common site of Achilles tendon rupture and calcaneal insertion through ultrasound compare outcomes proximal distal groups. Methods: We investigated electronic medical records 117 patients preoperative describing site. Among 88 patients, we compared patient-reported outcome re-rupture rate Results: The mean included subjects was 4.5 ± 1.3 ...

Background: Knee extension torque control decreases after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. There is a controversy in neuromuscular control changes on the uninvolved side. We intended to evaluate the steadiness and accuracy of quadriceps muscle control in the healthy and deficient sides of people with acute ACL rupture.    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, thirteen men with ACL r...

We simultaneously measure conductance and force across nanoscale junctions. A new, two-dimensional histogram technique is introduced to statistically extract bond rupture forces from a large data set of individual junction elongation traces. For the case of Au point contacts, we find a rupture force of 1.4 ± 0.2 nN, which is in good agreement with previous measurements. We then study systematic...

To summarize the clinical features of eyeball rupture with or without orbital fracture and explore the differences between them.In all, 197 patients were observed, and the following data were recorded: sex, age, time of injury, place of injury, cause of trauma, zone of eye injury, intraocular content prolapse, surgical methods and the therapeutic process, visual acuity after injury, and the fin...

Spontaneous uterine rupture in early pregnancy is a very rare complication and it occurs usually in scarred uteri. Here we present a case of spontaneous uterine rupture at 13 weeks of gestation in a 32-year-old woman. Our preoperative diagnosis was also uterine rupture. Emergency laparotomy confirmed our initial diagnosis. Clinical signs of uterine rupture in early pregnancy are nonspecific and...

Computer or communication networks are so designed that they do not easily get disrupted under external attack and, moreover, these are easily reconstructed when they do get disrupted. These desirable properties of networks can be measured by various parameters such as connectivity, toughness, tenacity and rupture degree. Among these parameters, rupture degree is comparatively better parameter ...

adrenal gland pseudocysts are not common conditions, and most of them are nonfunctional and asymptomatic. however, large pseudocysts may causes abdominal discomfort and have compressive effects on adjacent organs. they may rupture spontaneously or after trauma, and lead to retroperitoneal hemorrhage and surgical emergency. herein, we report a case of 21-year-old female who presented with acute ...
