Electrocardiogram before and after operation

The electrocardiogram in constrictive pericarditis before and after radical pericardectomy.

The electrocardiographic findings of 1 8 patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis and their progress 16 to 80 months following radical pericardectomy were studied. Atrial fibrillation, abnormal P waves, right QRS axis deviation, low QRS complex voltage in the conventional leads as well as T wave inversion, were the common preoperative electrocardiographic findings. Following radical peri...

Headache before and after operation in gynaecological patients.

The incidence and nature of headache before and after operation were investigated in eighty-three of a consecutive series of gynaecological patients. There was a significantly higher incidence of pre-operative and postoperative headache in unpremedicated minor cases than in premedicated minor and major cases. It was found that the incidence of both pre-operative and postoperative headache was h...

MRI measurement of syrinx size before and after operation.

When patients with syringomyelia fail to improve after operation, factors such as incomplete cyst decompression or type of operation are often implicated. MRI has been used to confirm adequate syrinx decompression post-operatively and to compare the degree of collapse with the type of operation. Foramen magnum decompression was at least as effective in reducing cyst size as syringo-subarachnoid...

Comparing the Quality of Life Before and After Total Hip Arthroplasty Operation in Patients With Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Purpose: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) increases the risk of secondary degenerative changes and subsequent total hip arthroplasty. The postoperative quality of life in patients with DDH who have been born and grown with this disability and adapted to it during the life, is one of the most challenging issues. This study aimed to compare the quality of life of patients with DDH before ...
