Atrial ectopic tachycardia is an incessant supraventricular tachycardia and is frequently refractory to medical treatment. Because it can cause tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, early diagnosis and treatment is important. We present a 16-year-old boy who was diagnosed as atrial ectopic tachycardia. The tachycardia, originating from the lower region of the right atrium along the crista termina...

Two new Erythrinan alkaloids, cristanines A and B (1, 2), were isolated from the bark of Erythrina crista-galli L. together with nine known Erythrinan alkaloids (3-5, 7-12) and an indole alkaloid (13). The structures of the compounds, cristanines A (1) and B (2), were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Three of the twelve compounds isolated showed significant inhibitory activity on lipopolysa...

A hypertensive 69-year-old man presented with an incidentally discovered non-ruptured aneurysm of the persistent primitive olfactory artery (POA). The POA originates at the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, runs along the olfactory tract anteriorly toward the crista galli, and forms an acute angle with the distal anterior cerebral artery. The aneurysm was located at this characte...

A 37-year-old man with a benign variant of scleroderma (CRST syndrome: calcinosis circumscripta, Raynaud's phenomenon, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia) presented with recurrent ventricular tachycardia. Preoperative electrophysiologic study suggested that the mechanism of tachycardia was an ectopic pacemaker focus in the right ventricle. Right ventricular dilatation, tricuspid insufficiency, n...

The study purposed to examine the morphometry and morphology of crista galli in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) apply a new analysis, supervised Machine Learning techniques find answers research questions “Can sex be determined with morphometric measurements?” or “How effective are measurements determining sex?”. Crista dimensions including anteroposterior, superoinferior, laterola...
