Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a frightening and frustrating symptom for the patient as well as the physician. Prognosis is affected by multiple factors including duration of hearing loss, presence of associated vertigo and tinnitus, and co-morbidities such as hypertension and diabetes.   Materials and Methods: Forty subjects presenting to our department with feature...

introduction brugada syndrome (brs) is an autosomal-dominant inherited cardiac arrhythmia that occurs due to sodium channelopathy and increases sudden cardiac death due to episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. it is characterized by st-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and right bundle branch block (rbbb) pattern. we herewith present a case of brugada syndrome with ...

carney’s complex is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome that involves spotty skin pigmentations, recurrent cardiac myxomas, endocrine hyperactivity, pituitary adenomas, peripheral nerve tumors, testicular tumors, and ovarian lesions. we present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 40 year old female with a history of carney’s complex with recurrent cardiac...

in hungary, ecg is a keystone of routine athletic screening. its significance is based on simplicity, quickness and high informative value as well as the fact that appearance of pathological ecg signs can precede the formation of structural heart diseases. during screening of healthy athletes, we studied the incidence of athletic ecg changes and pathological ecg abnormalities. methods: we pe...

sudden pipe expansions have been known as efficient hydraulic energy dissipaters for a long time. the complex phenomenon of flow separation and velocity discontinuity at the interface of incoming jet and the recirculation flow, results in intensive shear and tensile rupture of the fluid and the associated destructive phenomenon of cavitation. this paper focuses on aeration in sudden pipe expans...

We discuss a simple model for creation of entanglement in a system composed of two two-level atoms interacting with a common environment. The role of the environment in entangling and disentangling of the atoms is explored. We demonstrate how the spontaneous decay of an initial excitation of the system can create a transient entanglement between the atoms. The opposite situation is also discuss...

post cardiac surgery ophthalmic complications are uncommon, and sudden visual loss is one of the most important ophthalmic problems in these patients. we report a 54-year-old woman that suffered transient sudden bilateral visual loss seven days after orthotopic heart transplantation. in ophthalmologic examination positive findings were bilateral normal size pupils without direct and indirect pu...

Generally, international flows of capital and foreign direct investment attraction are challengeable issues in the literature of economic growth and development in emerging market countries. However, the fluctuations in foreign direct investment, including sudden flood and stop, will affect emerging markets' output and macroeconomic variables. Using an econometric model with unbalanced panel da...
