INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES After cardiac surgery, temporary pacing leads are routinely implanted in the right ventricle (RV). The objective was to investigate the effect of different ventricular pacing locations on cardiac synchrony (by evaluating myocardial deformation, or strain) and efficiency in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS Interventricular asynchrony (i.e. the difference...

Androgenic alopecia (AGA), scalp hair loss, occurs due to the hyperactivity of steroid 5α-reductase2 (SRD5A2), which metabolizes testosterone into 5α-dihydroxytestosterone. Finasteride, an FDA-approved drug producing many side effects, is a commonly used competitive inhibitor for SRD5A2 treat AGA. As number mushroom species have been patients having loss problems since ancient times, in present...
