conclusions diagnosis of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in children is important, since appropriate treatment improves the prognosis. every child with recurrent and persistent palpitation with the first episode of congestive heart failure should be evaluated for tachycardia- induced cardiomyopathy. introduction tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (tic) is a ventricular dysfunction secondary ...

[1] Among the different types of waves embedded in seismic noise, body waves present appealing properties but are still challenging to extract. Here we first validate recent improvements in numerical modeling of microseismic compressional (P) body waves and then show how this tool allows fast detection and location of their sources. We compute sources at ~0.2 Hz within typical P teleseismic dis...

One hundred and twenty one participants reported sexual orientation, body mass index, body shape concerns, eating motives and eating styles. Measures of body dissatisfaction were greater in heterosexual women and homosexual men (ps <.05), while heterosexual women had smaller (ps <.001) ideal body shapes. Eating weight control motive was lower in heterosexual men compared to women (ps <.05). Res...

PURPOSE To describe dropout rates for the intent-to-treat and per protocol analyses from prospective clinical trials. METHODS Review of prospective multi-center parallel studies of 100 patients or more from 1996 onwards. RESULTS We identified 33 articles (70 treatment arms) that fit the criteria for this study. No statistical differences in dropout rates were observed among drug classes for...

Correlation of the coda of large earthquakes can be used to retrieve body waves at teleseismic distances. This retrieval depends on waves propagating with equal energy in all directions (equipartitioning). We carry out a beamforming analysis of body waves at periods of 10 and 40 s recorded at USArray and show that the late coda, up to 10 h after the Okhotsk earthquake, is dominated by waves pro...
