Abstract Background Intravenous flecainide is used to stress Atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction in patients (pts) with a history of syncope & bifascicular (Bi-Fasc) block. Role oral unclear. Objective To assess effect Flecainide on infra-Hisian AV symptomatic Bi-Fasc Methods Pts presenting block without advanced AVCD ECG, 24 hr holter or treadmill exercise test were taken. Those suggestive r...

BACKGROUND Breast augmentation is an elective surgery used to increase the size of the breast in females. This study was undertaken to determine the breast augmentation in Pakistani females. METHODS From 2006 to 2011, 43 female patients who underwent breast augmentation via infra-mammary, periareolar, trans-umbilical and fat transfer were enrolled. For augmentation, saline-filled or gel-fille...

Near IR, multi epoch, spectroscopic and photometric observations of the enigmatic, eruptive variable V838 Mon in the JHK bands are reported. One of unusual features of the spectra is the detection of several strong neutral TiI lines in emission in the K band. From the strength of these lines, the mass of the ejected envelope is estimated to be in the range 10−7 to 10−5 M . The spectra also show...

Gauged supergravities (in four and five dimensions) with eight supercharges and with vector supermultiplets have a unique ultra-violet (UV) fixed point on a given physical domain M of the space of the scalar fields. We show that in these models the infra-red (IR) fixed points are located on the boundary of M, where the space-time metric becomes singular. e-mail: [email protected] e-mai...

The backward evolution approach to modelling galaxy source counts is re-visited in the wake of the numerous results and revelations from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) and the detections and measurements of the cosmic extragalactic background light. Using the framework of the Pearson & Rowan-Robinson (1996) galaxy evolution model, the...

The infra-red absorption spectra of the unsubstituted pyrylium cation and of 25 di-, tri-, tetraand per&-substituted pyrylium salts (mostly perchlorates) with alkyl and/or phenyl groups are described. Assignments of IR bands are made in correlation with the spectrum of pyridine, and the variation of band position and intensity depending on substitution is discussed. Implications for the assignm...

OBJECTIVES To assess the clinical performance of robotic-assisted infra-renal aortic lymphadenectomy (IRL) using a single center-docked approach for patients with endometrial cancer. METHODS Robotic-assisted hysterectomy with pelvic and aortic lymphadenectomy was performed in 97 clinical stage I endometrial cancer (EC) patients with the intent to remove infra-renal aortic lymph nodes. Peri-op...

BACKGROUND Systemic thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke is restricted to the 4.5 h time window. Many patients are excluded from this treatment because symptom onset is unknown. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown that stroke patients presenting with acute supra-tentorial diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesions that do not have matching lesions on fluid attenuated inversion re...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present work was to analyse the impact of mild hypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) of infra-supraclavicular lymph nodes after axillary dissection on late toxicity. METHODS From 2007 to 2012, 100 females affected by breast cancer (pT1- T4, pN1-3, pMx) were treated with conservative surgery, Axillary Node Dissection (AND) and loco-regional radiotherapy (whole breast plu...
