Radiologic and physiologic correlation in apparently healthy smoker

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Vital Capacity in 1 Second (FEV1) of Apparently Healthy Non-smoker Adult Obese

Apparently Healthy Population

Background. In myocardial infarction patients, heart rate-adjusted QT interval (QT), an electrocardiographic indicator of sympathetic balance, is prognostic for survival. Methods and Results. In a 28-year follow-up, the association between QT, and all-cause, cardiovascular, and ischemic heart disease mortality was studied in a population of 3,091 apparently healthy Dutch civil servants and thei...

The prevalence of irregularity in rhythm and heart sound in apparently healthy small ruminants

This study was conducted on 384 clinically healthy sheep and goats from farms around Tehran suburb. The animals were divided into two equal groups (according to species) and then assigned into three age groups, two gender groups and female animals into two groups: late pregnant and non-pregnant. Heart sounds were auscultated by two cardiologists and heart rate and probable murmurs were recorded...

Correlation between C-reactive protein levels and affecting factors for adiposity in apparently healthy Korean adolescents

Aims Recent studies have shown that C-reactive protein is not just an indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality. Thus, early detection of a continous increase in CRP concentrations may be useful in predicting subsequent development of CVD or metabolic syndrome. The objective of this study was to analyze high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in apparently healthy y...

Radiologic-Clinical Correlation Hemiballismus

A 65-year-old recently retired surgeon in good health developed disinhibited behavior over the course of a few months , followed by onset of unintentional, forceful flinging movements of his right arm and leg. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 1-cm rimenhancing mass in the left subthalamic region , which was of high signal intensity on T2-weighted images (Figs 1A-E). Positive serum huma...
