Placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the only powerful treatment modality for Brugada syndrome in patients presenting with ventricular fibrillation (VF). For those whose first presentation is an electrical storm, pharmacologic therapy is typically used to control VF followed by ICD implantation. We report an alternative approach whereby, before ICD implantation, emerg...

Case 1.?A Hindoo male, named Mirhai, nged 30 years, was admitted into the Azamgarh hospital, on the 14th September, suffering from a large tumour of the lower jaw Some three years previously he first noticed some swelling of the gum on the right side of the lower jaw. This swelling he attributed, at the time, to tooth-ache from which he was suffering. On the cessation of the pain in the tooth, ...

0340-7594:82:014910179 803.00 Summary. 1. The common response properties to simple visual stimuli (light impulses, light steps, and movement of simple patterns at different speeds) has been investigated by intracellular recording from Giant Vertical Cells (VS) in the lobula plate of the blowfly Calliphora erythtroccephala. 2. The impulse response begins < 10 ms after onset of the photoreceptor ...

The management of the clinically N0 neck in patients with head and neck cancers still remains controversial. Elective neck dissection is traditionally recommended when the subside of the head and neck, such as the oral cavity and supraglottic area, confers at least a 15-20% risk of lymphatic spread. However, elective neck dissection may cause an increase in patient morbidity and mortality rates...

Empyema is a serious complication of lobar and broncho-pneumonia, especially in children. Nearly 75 per cent of all empyemas occur under the age of ten years. Consequently the importance of early and adequate surgical treatment is evident; but, unfortunately, early diagnosis of empyema is not always easy. If the temperature does not subside after an attack of pneumonia or if the attack is undul...

Asynchronous circuits have experienced a resurgence due to potential advantages to low-power and high-speed design. The timed signal transition graph model, an interpreted Petri net, is a formal specification that is capable to characterize the temporal behavior of asynchronous circuits by utilizing interval delays. However asynchronous circuits are prone to metastability, which may subside aft...

Cows' milk protein enteropathy is recognised as a significant cause of persistent diarrhoea and malabsorption in young infants, but there are as yet no generally accepted diagnostic criteria. A combined clinical and histological approach to the diagnosis of cows' milk protein-sensitive enteropathy has been used in 15 patients, and the following set of criteria are proposed. (1) Clinical disease...

Vehicle production has fallen since the beginning of pandemic recession. We investigate reasons for this decline. Manufacturers in industry cite insufficient materials, including a lack semiconductors, as increasingly responsible. Demand seems to be less an issue. In fact, demand been strong, and together with accelerating prices sharply declining inventories, it suggests supply new cars. Our b...

The incidence of functional intussusception is extremely rare in adults. A 23-year-old woman, previously diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), complained of colicky abdominal pain associated with vomiting of 1-day duration. Currant jelly stool was observed. Irrespective of hydration and intravenous insulin injection under the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), her abdominal pain ...

This review of studies on anti-anginal agents and their use in the anginal syndrome shows nitroglycerin to be unsurpassed in clinical effectiveness. It has a rapid onset of action. Its duration of action is relatively short but the need for a more prolonged effect has not been demonstrated. Most anginal attacks subside upon resting and the requirement for relief is immediate rather than prolong...
