The aims of the current study were 1) to establish an adult rat model of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation, and 2) to examine the role of alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage and parenchymal injury in that dilatation. Rats underwent infusion of 200 microl of autologous blood over 15 minutes. The rats were used to measure hematoma mass, ve...

INTRODUCTION The cause of ascending aortic dilatation occurring in patients with congenitally bicuspid aortic valves was investigated. METHODS Flow patterns through human aortic roots with congenitally bicuspid aortic valves as well as through porcine constricted aortas were studied in a left heart simulator. Vibration was recorded as a measure of turbulence in the post-stenotic segment. Hist...

objective: the cows that don’t have access to sufficient energy in their ration can get sickness. milk production has a high priority in metabolism of dairy cows so lactating cows are more prone to get sick this can ruin all the benefits of higher milk yield because of the higher prevalence of the disorders. methods: data for this research had gathered from a herd with 1600 holstein cattle in e...

The Edwards valve was the most frequently used in group 1 compared to group 2 and 3 (89.3, 78.7 and 83.3%, p=0.03) and the implanted valve size was similar in all groups (25.6±2.0, 25.4±2.2 and 25.5±2.2 mm respectively, p=0.69). Post-dilatation was required more frequently in group 3 (4.7, 24.1 and 50.0% respectively, p<0.01). Post-procedural increase in mitral regurgitation was in line with th...

A pneumocele is an abnormal dilatation of a paranasal sinus, most commonly affecting the frontal sinus. Although the etiology of pneumocele is not entirely known, several causative factors have been suggested including trauma, surgery, tumor and infection. We report here a case of post-traumatic pneumocele of the frontal sinus following a head trauma.
