Rare case of squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa metastasizing to interventricular septum in a young adult detected by 18F-FDG PET-CT
Metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. Despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. Tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...
متن کاملNew aspects of the ventricular septum and its function: an echocardiographic study.
OBJECTIVES To examine whether the line dividing the septum into two layers is found consistently by conventional echocardiography and to evaluate functional differences in the right and left side of the septum in terms of wall thickening, strain rate, and strain imaging. DESIGN In a systematic study in 30 normal subjects, M mode and Doppler myocardial imaging data from the interventricular se...
متن کاملChanges in the structure of the heart and blood pressure after a period of concurrent endurance-resistance training in patients with chronic heart failure
Background: Exercise improves functional capacity by improving endothelial function and musculoskeletal aerobic metabolism, but its effects on hemodynamic control are not well known. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resistance trainings on structural changes and blood pressure in patients with heart failure. Materials and methods: 76 patients aged 65 to 79 year...
متن کاملThe mammalian Tolloid-like 1 gene, Tll1, is necessary for normal septation and positioning of the heart.
Mammalian Tolloid-like 1 (mTLL-1) is an astacin-like metalloprotease, highly similar in domain structure to the morphogenetically important proteases bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1) and Drosophila Tolloid. To investigate possible roles for mTLL-1 in mammalian development, we have used gene targeting in ES cells to produce mice with a disrupted allele for the corresponding gene, Tll1. Homoz...
متن کاملPerfusion of the interventricular septum during ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether regional hypoperfusion of the interventricular septum occurs during ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure. DESIGN Animal study. ANIMALS Anesthetized, closed chest dogs (n = 8). INTERVENTIONS Induction of experimental adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and then ventilation with 10, 15, and 20 cm H2O of positive end-expiratory pressure. M...
