Pulmonary valve obstruction during cardiac catheterization.
OBSTRUCTION of a stenotic pulmonary valve by the exploring cardiac catheter, a serious and not infrequent complication of cardiac catheterization, has received little attention in the literature.1-4 Experiences in this laboratory indicate that pulmonary valve obstruction can occur both in a manifest, symptomatic form and in a concealed, asymptomatic form in patients with severe pulmonary stenos...
متن کاملSinonasal Teratocarcinosarcoma- A Rare Tumour not so Rarely Misdiagnosed
Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (STCS) is a rare, morphologically heterogeneous and highly aggressive tumour of ambiguous origin. It is characterized by the presence of benign and malignant epithelial, mesenchymal and neuroectodermal components. Because of their rarity and heterogeneity, these lesions are often misdiagnosed, leading to management difficulties. Adequate sampling with a high index...

Different explanations have been proposed as to why the range of climate 7 sensitivity predicted by GCMs have not lessened substantially in the last decades, 8 and subsequently if it can be reduced. One such study (Why is climate sen-9 sitivity so unpredictable?, Roe and Baker, 2007 [@]) adressed these questions 10 using rather simple theoret...
متن کاملThe effect of insulin may not be so simple.
To the Editor: Drenger et al. have demonstrated that sevoflurane postconditioning is cancelled in the rat heart with type 1 diabetes mellitus and that this adverse effect by glucose intolerance cannot be restored by the adjustment of blood glucose using insulin. This study appears to have many questions regarding the mechanisms of insulin’s action, whereas we would congratulate their impressive...
متن کاملSerious adverse events during a 6-min walk test in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is well standardised and, as per current guidelines, is deemed safe to perform in a range of patients [1]. In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), 6-min walk distance (6MWD) is an important predictor of mortality and morbidity [2]. Moreover, changes in the 6MWD have been the primary end-point of most pivotal randomised controlled trials that have assessed the clinic...
