In this paper, we firstly show that the $N$-dual operation of the right residual implication, which is induced by a left-conjunctive right arbitrary $vee$-distributive left semi-uninorm, is the right residual coimplication induced by its $N$-dual operation. As a dual result, the $N$-dual operation of the right residual coimplication, which is induced by a left-disjunctive right arbitrary $wedge...

Introduction: Brain lateralization is associated with human behavior. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effects of brain lateralization on the scores of paranormal beliefs. Methods: The study population included 180 students of Sanandaj universities, Sanandaj City, Iran who were selected with convenience sampling method (100 left-brained males, 6 left-brained females, 56 both le...

Background: Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging have been highlighted to diagnose diastolic and systolic heart dysfunction. We aimed to compare tissue Doppler imaging with conventional echocardiography to diagnose heart dysfunctions in diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1) patients. <s...

Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...

background: ventriculoatrial (va) conduction has an important role in the initiation and maintenance of some arrhythmias. the aim of this study was to evaluate whether clinical and electrophysiological parameters of atrioventricular (av) conduction can predict va conduction. methods: detailed demographic, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic data were recorded in 54 consecutive patients ...

kernel density estimators are the basic tools for density estimation in non-parametric statistics.  the k-nearest neighbor kernel estimators represent a special form of kernel density estimators, in  which  the  bandwidth  is varied depending on the location of the sample points. in this paper‎, we  initially introduce the k-nearest neighbor kernel density estimator in the random left-truncatio...

conclusions male gender, history of hypertension, high nyha score, and the presence of cad predict lvef deterioration in patients with lbbb. objectives the present study aimed to identify underlying factors that predict left ventricular ejection fraction (lvef) deterioration in patients suffered from complete lbbb. patients and methods in a retrospective case-control study, the data of 220 cons...

conclusions both anesthetic regimens were acceptable for induction in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. results incidence of pain on injection (2 - 4%) and myoclonus (10%) was less in both groups. the hemodynamic response was similar in the two groups for all variables over the time interval, except for ci at ...

conclusions the patient underwent surgery several days later with complete resection of the tumor and coronary stent retrieval but his left ventricular ejection fraction remained poor after several months and he was referred for cardiac transplantation. introduction cardiac inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare tumor that can cause potentially fatal outcomes. case presentation we describ...

conclusions chronic smoking caused left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. acute intake caused left and right ventricular diastolic dysfunction. changes persisted up to 30 minutes after smoking, although diastolic blood pressure returned to normal state. objectives the current study aimed to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of smoking on the left and right ventricular (rv) diastolic funct...
