Color Rendering-How Should it be Evaluated?

How should dysplastic human hips be evaluated?

Dysplasia of the human hip is characterised by insufficient anterolateral covering of femoral head by the acetabulum. In our study, we evaluated dysplastic human hip joints using biomechanical parameters (the peak contact stress in the weight-bearing area of the hip - pmax) and X-ray image parameters (the centre-edge angle - thetaCE, the transverse acetabular inclination angle - thetaUS, the ac...

Stress induced hypertensive response: should it be evaluated more carefully?

Various diagnostic methods have been used to evaluate hypertensive patients under physical and pharmacological stress. Several studies have shown that exercise hypertension has an independent, adverse impact on outcome; however, other prognostic studies have shown that exercise hypertension is a favorable prognostic indicator and associated with good outcome. Exercise hypertension may be encoun...

Femoral pseudoaneurysm: How should it be treated?

We read with interest the article by Duszańska et al. [1] entitled ‘Predictors of successful iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm compression dressing repair’ recently published in the journal. The authors suggested that compression dressing repair (CPR) might serve as an alternative method of femoral pseudoaneurysm (FPA) management in patients with low forward and reverse velocities of the flow in pseudo...

Atrial fibrillation: how should it be treated?

istorical Aspect In 1827 Robert Adams was probably the first person to recognize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) clinically as a sign of mitral stenosis. Hope in 1839 identified irregular pulse in association with mitral stenosis. Etienne Marcy in 1863 published a tracing of atrial fibrillation from a patient with mitral stenosis. Arthur Cushney described it in 1899. Initially AF was termed as Deleriu...
