Figure ]. A: After the deflected dorsal segment of the septum is separated vertically from the remainder of the septum, a 3.0-mm Skeeter drill is used to create two small holes in the nasal bone on the side opposite the direction of the deflection. B: The ends of the separated septum are sutured into position with a horizontal mattress suture that is passed through the holes in the nasal bones....

Double atrial septum is very rare atrial septal malformation which has double layered atrial septum with persistent interatrial space between the two atria. Clinically, most cases of this anomaly are asymptomatic unless manifest as thromboembolic complications, such as stroke, or transient ischemic attack, that thrombus may be originated from this interatrial space. We report a case of a 69-yea...

INTRODUCTION Plasmacytomas are malignant tumors characterized by abnormal monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. They originate in either bone--solitary osseous plasmacytoma, or in soft tissue--extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP). EMP represents less than 1% of all head and neck malignancies. CASE REPORT We presented a case of EMP of the nasal septum in a 44-year-old male who had progressive...

PURPOSE To define the optimal cardiac short-axis cine acquisition protocol for the assessment of the left and rightventricular functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 volunteers were recruited and breath-hold CINE images were acquired on a Siemens Prisma 3T MRI. Four short-axis acquisition planes were defined from the 4-chamber view. AV Junctions: short-axis slices parallel to the plane that cuts...

leiomyoma of nasal cavity is a rare and benign tumor of smooth muscle origin that uncommonly arises from the nasal septum. we present an unusual case of histopathologically diagnosed locally extensive leiomyoma of the nasal septum which was clinically and radiologically misdiagnosed as malignancy of the nasal cavity. this case report emphasizes the rare occurrence of this entity at this site an...

Henri Roger, in 1879, was the first to accurately describe the clinical manifestations of ventricular septal defect, and the term “maladie de Roger” is often used in connection with these malformations. The lesion and the problems associated with it have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years, particularly with the advent of open heart surgery and a means for affecting a cure. Embr...

Twenty-one patients with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with intact atrial septum have been studied. These include 13 patients not previously reported from our laboratories and eight patients with complete hemodynamics reported by others. Methods for identification of this abnormality and for identification of an intact atrial septum are described, including differential indicator ...

Bacillus subtilis penicillin-binding protein PBP1 has been implicated in cell division. We show here that a PBP1 knockout strain is affected in the formation of the asymmetric sporulation septum and that green fluorescent protein-PBP1 localizes to the sporulation septum. Localization of PBP1 to the vegetative septum is dependent on various cell division proteins. This study proves that PBP1 for...

BACKGROUND Several authors have reported cases in which 201Tl scintigraphy demonstrated perfusion abnormality in the septum of patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and normal coronary arteriogram. The mechanism of this abnormality, however, remains to be clarified. METHODS AND RESULTS To determine whether LBBB itself induces abnormal myocardial perfusion and ischemia and to elucidate...

During pulmonary artery constriction (PAC), an experimental model of acute right ventricular (RV) pressure overload, the interventricular septum flattens and inverts. Finite element (FE) analysis has shown that the septum is subject to axial compression and bending when so deformed. This study examines the effects of acute PAC on the left ventricular (LV) free wall and the role the pericardium ...
