www.PRSJournal.com 607e Turbinate hypertrophy is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction encountered in rhinoplasty patients.1 The inferior turbinate contributes to the posterior border of the internal nasal valve, and turbinate hypertrophy is commonly implicated in nasal airflow obstruction.2 All causes of nasal airway obstruction—including turbinate hypertrophy—must be recognized and addre...

Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive enlargement of the myocardium in response to overload pressure of heart. From abundant studies, a conclusion is drawn that many microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. To investigate the role of microRNA-497 (miR-497) in myocardial hypertrophy, two models were established in this study from cell level to integral level. Ca...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy has a risk of increasing the brevity of the population if left untreated. Quantitative aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy to field experts is very essential to classify the disease and proceed treatment. Endocardium segmentation of left and right ventricles is done through Local Chan Vese Model using Radial Charge Fitting Curve. This ...

The presence of large segmental defects of the diaphyseal bone is challenging for orthopedic surgeons. Free vascularized fibular grafting (FVFG) is considered to be a reliable reconstructive procedure. Stress fractures are a common complication following this surgery, and hypertrophy is the main physiological change of the grafted fibula. The exact mechanism of hypertrophy is not completely kno...

When faced with increased workload the heart undergoes remodelling, where it increases its muscle mass in an attempt to preserve normal function. This is referred as cardiac hypertrophy and if sustained, can lead impaired contractile Experimental evidence supports oxidative stress a critical inducer of both genetic acquired forms hypertrophy, finding which reinforced by elevated levels circulat...

We examined whether differences in the location of myocardial hypertrophy influence the right ventricular diastolic function in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using cineangiography. Biplane right ventriculography was performed in 34 subjects (normal = 14, asymmetric septal hypertrophy = 9, apical hypertrophy = 11) during cardiac catheterization. In patients with asymm...

The heart develops left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in response to increased afterload in order to compensate for its wall stress and to maintain normal cardiac function.' Although the development of cardiac hypertrophy is itself an adaptive phenomenon, it is an important cause of increased morbidity and mortality.2 Thus cardiac hypertrophy has recently attracted attention as an important ris...

Isopotential body surface maps and the sequence of epicardial excitation were studied in children with three types of pure right ventricular hypertrophy; that is, secundum atrial defects, valvular pulmonic stenosis, and tetralogy of Fallot. Patients with similar types of hypertrophy demonstrated internal consistency as to the anatomy, sequence of epicardial excitation of the right ventricular f...

The association between the extent of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and severity of ventricular or atrial arrhythmias are examined. Two-dimensional echocardiography and 24-h Holter electrocardiography monitoring were performed in 60 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). According to the distribution of the LV hypertrophy, the patients were divided into three groups: 1. Apical hyp...

Left ventricular hypertrophy is the main risk factor for development of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients on hemodialysis. Left ventricular hypertrophy is found in 75% of the patients treated with hemodialysis. Risk factors for left ventricular hypertrophy in patients on hemodialysis include: blood flow through arterial-venous fistula, anemia, hypertension, increased extracellu...
