Background: Vitamin D deficiency can cause frequent infection of tonsil and adenoid. Recurrent upper airway infections are associated with hypertrophy of lymphoid tissues (adenoid and palatine tonsils) in children. Obstructive sleep disorders, failure to thrive, facial deformity, and cognitive disorders are among the most important complications of adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Surgery is indicat...

Introduction In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the pathogenesis of asymmetrical left ventricular (LV) wall thickening is based upon a complex interplay of molecular pathways and is still largely unclarified. Since cariporide (an Na/H exchange blocker) has been proven effective in several pressure overload (animal) models by inhibiting the hypertrophic response, we hypothesized that caripori...

Sturge-Weber syndrome can be associated with facial port-wine stains and intracranial calcification, and concurrent Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome has been reported. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital mesodermal phakomatosis characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, venous varicosities and soft tissue or bone hypertrophy of the affected extremities. This report is presented a...

BACKGROUND To use cardiovascular magnetic resonance to investigate left ventricular wall thickness and the presence of asymmetrical hypertrophy in young army recruits before and after a period of intense exercise training. METHODS AND RESULTS Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance, the left ventricular wall thickness was measured in all 17 segments and a normal range was calculated for each....

Objective To describe typical clinical presentation of patients with microfistular, capillary-venule (CV) malformation as a variant form arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Methods A retrospective analysis 15 CV-AVM confirmed by computational flow model enrolled in prospective database congenital vascular between January 2008 and May 2018. Results The mean age the at first time was 30 years bala...

An elderly patient with demonstrated asymmetrical intraventricular septal hypertrophy and ventriculo-aortic pressure gradient was anaesthetized with nitrous oxide with oxygen, narcotic, and muscle relaxant for abdominal surgery. In addition to the cardiovascular variables customarily monitored, a systolic time interval (STI) measured from the Q wave of the ECG to the foot of the radial pulse (t...

In this study, we have compared scintigraphic and echocardiographic data in order to investigate whether increased septal perfusion represents asymmetrical septal hypertrophy (ASH), which is a symptom followed in the scintigraphy of myocardial perfusion. The study consists of a total of 186 patients (120 females and 66 males with an average age of 59.45 ± 11.54 years) who had normal myocardial ...
