چکیده

A 79-year old man was admitted for heart failure. Calcification of the pericardium was discovered on X-ray (Fig. 1). Cardiac computed tomography revealed a unique atrioventricular calcification ring along the atrioventricular groove (Fig. 2). Angiography also demonstrated a special calcification ring (Supplementary Video 1). Constrictive pericarditis was diagnosed. Pericardiectomy was successfully completed. Supplementary material (Video 1) is available at EJCTS online. Video 1: Angiography demonstrated special calcification ring on the heart.

Histological study of the atrioventricular node and bundle in the heart of ovine fetus

This study was conducted on the atrioventricular node (AVN) and atrioventricular bundle (AVB) of fivefour-month-old ovine fetuses. The histological structure of these components was studied by routinehistological techniques and use of specific staining methods. The AVN was caudally located adjacent to theroot of the aorta. It was almost spherical in shape and consisted of twisty cells. The node...

*-σ-biderivations on *-rings

Bresar in 1993 proved that each biderivation on a noncommutative prime ring is a multiple of a commutatot. A result of it is a characterization of commuting additive mappings, because each commuting additive map give rise to a biderivation. Then in 1995, he investigated biderivations, generalized biderivations and sigma-biderivations on a prime ring and generalized the results of derivations fo...

A theoretical study about Substituted effect in current ring and aromaticity with NICS index in nano carrier Xylometazoline drug

Xylometazoline is a drug which is used as a topical nasal decongestant. It is applied directly into the nose, either as a spray or as drops. Xylometazoline is an imidazole derivative which is designed to mimic the molecular shape of adrenaline. It binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Due to its sympathomimetic effects, it should not be used by people with high blood pressure...

Notes on amalgamated duplication of a ring along an ideal

In this paper, we study some ring theoretic properties of the amalgamated duplication ring $Rbowtie I$ of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ along an ideal $I$ of $R$ which was introduced by D'Anna and Fontana. Indeed, it is determined that when $Rbowtie I$ satisfies Serre's conditions $(R_n)$ and $(S_n)$, and when is a normal ring, a generalized Cohen-Macaulay ring and finally a filter ring.

Effect of a ring type barrier and rotational speed on leakage flow of gas turbine brush seal

This paper investigates the effect of inserting a ring type barrier on leakage flow of brush seals with different bristles clearances (the distance between bristle pack tip and rotor surface). The ring is placed on both upstream and downstream sides of the bristles. An axisymmetric CFD model is employed to calculate radial pressure distribution along backing plate, axial pressure variation on r...

Investigation of Friction Coefficient Effects on Fishtail Defect in Hot Ring Rolling Process

Hot ring rolling is a highly nonlinear, unsteady-state and asymmetry process which is affected by many parameters. The friction coefficient between the ring ,the driver roll and the idle roll is one of the problems, which has significant effect on the quality of final product. In this study, the effect of these two parameters on hot ring rolling was investigated based on a 3D coupled-thermo mec...
