A wide QRS-complex tachycardia with 1:1 ventriculoatrial conduction may present diagnostic difficulties, and multiple pacing maneuvers are often required for an accurate diagnosis. We report a case, in which observation of transient interval variation following atrio-His block quickly led to the

This ECG was recorded from a 93 year old patient with a previously documented third degree AV block and an underlying LBBB. The twelve lead ECG demonstrates sinus bradycardia at a rate of 52 beats per minute, a PR interval of 230 milliseconds, and a left bundle branch block (Figure 1). In figure 2, a rhythm strip of leads V1, II and V5 shows sinus rhythm with AV block. Note that only P waves in...

This article studies the transient heat conduction in a slab when passing through various sections of the furnace, and focuses on the thickness of the scale layer formed on the slab. The transient heat conduction behavior of a slab in various sections of the heating furnace is analyzed using the Laplace transformation method, including the pre-heating zone, the first heating zone, the second he...

in this study, the effect of wall orientation on the optimum insulation position in the wall from different perspectives is studied numerically. using crank- nicolson one dimensional transient heat conduction equation is solved for the wall with convection boundary conditions. outdoor temperature is considered as a periodic function of time. since natural night ventilation is used in the buildi...

The transient hydrodynamics and thermal behaviors of fluid flow in open-ended vertical parallel-plate porous microchannel are investigated semi-analytically under the effect of the hyperbolic heat conduction model. The model that combines both the continuum approach and the possibility of slip at the boundary is adopted in the study. The Effects of Knudsen number , Darcy number , and thermal re...

Transient entrainment of circus-movement tachycardia utilizing an atrioventricular (AV) bypass pathway was studied in 13 patients (nine with the orthodromic form, two with the antidromic form, and two with both the orthodromic and antidromic forms). All patients had a left-sided AV bypass pathway. Pacing at selected rates faster than the spontaneous rate was performed during the tachycardia at ...

In uraemic and other patients with neuropathies, motor unit spike intervals were analysed using a special computer program to detect prolonged intervals of twice the normal duration, so-called "double intervals." These may have different causes--trigger failure, double discharge, or a transient fall in the firing rate of coactive motor units. There was not sufficient evidence that transient con...

Pool boiling on surfaces where sliding bubble mechanism plays an important role has been studied. The heat transfer phenomenon for such cases has been analysed. The model considers different mechanisms such as latent heat transfer due to microlayer evaporation, transient conduction due to thermal boundary layer reformation, natural convection and heat transfer due to the sliding bubbles. Both m...

We have used admittance spectroscopy and deep-level transient spectroscopy to characterize electronic properties of Si/Si12x2yGexCy heterostructures. Band offsets measured by admittance spectroscopy for compressively strained Si/Si12x2yGexCy heterojunctions indicate that incorporation of C into Si12x2yGexCy lowers both the valenceand conduction-band edges compared to those in Si12xGex by an ave...

The pattern of complete right bundle-branch block (RBBB) combined with abnormal left axis deviation is shown to be the predominant conduction abnormality during orthograde (antegrade) conduction in patients who have experienced transient or permanent complete heart block (59% of a series of 44 patients). Sequential records on the same patient are presented showing progressive development of the...
