the objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...

background heart failure is a major cause of death in thalassemia. the study aimed to determine the diagnostic value of n terminal pro b type natriuretic peptide (nt-pro bnp), to early diagnose the cardiac involvement in beta- thalassemia major patients. materials and methods  80 thalassemia patients aged 7 to 18 years old (patients group), and 80 healthy age and gender matched controls were en...

Background: Breast cancer is becoming more frequently diagnosed at early stages with improved long term outcomes. Radiation-related heart disease and lung cancer can occur following radiotherapy for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate some dosimetric parameters of heart and lung during whole breast radiotherapy. Methods:Twenty five consecutive...

Today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. Eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. This studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. In the ostrich, fib...

Animals- Forty seven adult healthy New Zealand White rabbits (25 male, 22 female) with age 10-18 months and weight 1.5-2.5 Kg. Procedures- To assess the influence of breed on the vertebral heart ...

conclusions there is a significant increased incidence of mortality, prolonged hospitalization, and rehospitalization in symptomatic patients with severe tr. therefore, we recommend more aggressive approach toward tv repair or replacement in these patients regardless of pap and systolic function. results heart failure (50%) was the most cause of death. mean years of survival from diagnosis of s...

Performance of heart has substantial role in breaking records of sports. Achieving to optimal performance of endurance Training builds upon the consistency in several parts of body specially heart. Type, intensity, term training programs is determining components of providing structural consistency and performance of heart especially in left ventricular. Aim of this research was comparing struc...
