The aim of the present review is to highlight strengths and limitations echocardiographic parameters scores employed predict favorable outcome in complex congenital heart diseases (CHDs) with borderline right ventricle (RV), a focus on pulmonary atresia intact ventricular septum critical stenosis (PAIVS/CPS). A systematic search National Library Medicine using Medical Subject Headings free-text...

Abstract Background Right ventricular (RV) systolic function is determinant in the evaluation of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Timely detection RV dysfunction conventional 2D echocardiography challenging. strain has emerged as an accurate and sensitive tool for capability detecting subclinical dysfunction. Purpose This study was aimed to evaluate prognostic value parameters...

in this study 60 arian male chickens for six weeks were used in a completely randomized block to evaluate the effect of three dietary energy level on performance and prevention ascites. diets energy levels were: as catalog; 100 and 150 kcal lower in starter and grower and finisher periods; 200 kcal and 300 kcal lower in starter and grower that catalog respectively. during the experiment, body w...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of endothelin-1(ET-1) on pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and pulmonary hypertension syndrome (PHS, ascites) morbidity in broilers. Two hundred and seventy of one-day-old Arbor Acre commercial broiler chickens were randomly allocated into two experiments. In Experiment 1, 40 broilers (28 days of age) were intravenously with five different d...

Tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD) is a congenital deformity of tricuspid valve (TV), chordae tendineae, or papillary muscles resulting in insufficiency of tricuspid valve. The downward displacement of tricuspid valve leaflets into the right ventricle (RV) i.e. right ventricular atrialization results in a rare malformation called Ebstein’s anomaly [1,2]. No doubt tricuspid valve dysplasia in dogs ...

Cardiac imaging is essential for the diagnosis and follow-up individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD). Currently echocardiography is the first-line investigation, although no single imaging technique is sufficient for complete evaluation of cardiac anatomy and physiology in these patients. Increasingly, adults with CHD are referred for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Thehigh sp...

the present study examined the antioxidant defense of glutamine on plasma and liver antioxidant status in broilers under phs with respect to changes in the levels of lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde (mda), total antioxidant status (tas) and the activities of anti peroxidative enzymes [superoxide dismutase (sod) and glutathione dependent antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (gpx)]...
