UNLABELLED The human body conducts electricity very well. Direct contact with electric current can be lethal. The passage of electric current through the body is capable of producing a wide spectrum of injuries, including serious damage to the heart, brain, skin and muscles. Naked high-voltage electric cables negligently abandoned in residential, commercial and industrial areas are a recipe for...

background: echocardiographic evaluations of the longitudinal axis of the left ventricular (lv) function have been used in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure with normal ejection fraction (hfnef). the evaluation of the global and segmental peak systolic longitudinal strains (pslss) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (ste) may correlate with conventional echocardiogr...

'\J Out of 43 ruptures of the spleen 14, or 32*5 per cent, were accompanied by injuries of other orgaus, during the 9 years I have been considering.

This study examined the heart rate synchrony between a single couple in emotionally focused therapy (EFT) as method of measuring coregulatory effects over course treatment. A clinician who is an EFT certified therapist, supervisor, and trainer administered all eight sessions private practice setting. Surrogate analysis assessed partners, indicating that significant was more likely time. Signifi...

Penetrating injuries to the chest and in particular to the heart that results in pericardial tamponade and cardiac arrest requires immediate resuscitative thoracotomy as the only lifesaving technique and should be performed without delay. Objective. To describe an external cardiac tamponade caused by massive tension hemothorax from penetrating injury of the left internal mammary art...
