conclusions full echocardiographic examination of the right ventricle, including rvot is essential for the diagnosis of this disease. surgical correction appears to be a successful strategy for management of this rare condition in adults. case presentation we report a 40-year-old man who was referred to cardiology clinic for work-up of dyspnea and a heart murmur found on his physical examinatio...

rock has been advantageously employed in hydraulic structures such as rockfill dams, gabion weirs and drain works. one rockfill dam applications can be flood control in wa-tershed management. the objectives of building rockfill detention dams are flow storage for a specific period and lowering of the outflow hydrograph. as this type of dam consists of coarse particles, seepage flow will deviate...

BACKGROUND Pacemapping is used to localize the exit site of ventricular arrhythmia. Although the relationship between distance and change in QRS morphology is its basis, this relationship has not been systematically quantified. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients (n=68) undergoing ventricular arrhythmia ablation between March 2012 and July 2013 were recruited. Pacemapping was targeted to areas of vo...

PURPOSE Transgenic Col1a1(r/r) mice develop elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with an open angle and progressive optic nerve axon loss. The present study was undertaken to evaluate aqueous outflow facility and its age dependence in these mice. METHODS Homozygous B6;129S4-Col1a1(tm1Jae) mice and corresponding wild-type Col1a1(+/+) mice from 12 to 56 weeks of age were anesthetized, and IOP wa...

Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias can originate from either the endocardial, midmyocardial, or epicardial regions of the heart. The outflow tracts and basal regions of the ventricle tend to be common locations of origin of these tachycardias. The anatomy of this region of the heart is both fascinating and, at times, challenging from a procedural standpoint. The orientation of the outflow tract...

While autonomic outflow is an important co-factor of nausea physiology, central control of this outflow is poorly understood. We evaluated sympathetic (skin conductance level) and cardiovagal (high-frequency heart rate variability) modulation, collected synchronously with functional MRI (fMRI) data during nauseogenic visual stimulation aimed to induce vection in susceptible individuals. Autonom...
