D lco and the D lco VA ratio change with lung volume as would be expected with changes in surface area for diffusion. Percent predicted for D lco adjusted for lung volume (D aco ) and D lco VA ratio adjusted for lung volume (K aco ) also should be reported, using the following equations: D aco predicted 5 D lco predicted 3 (0.58 1 0.42 3 VA VAtlc) and K aco predicted 5 K co predicted 3 (0.42 1 ...

Purkayastha et al reported 3 cases of proatlantal intersegmental arteries of external carotid artery origin associated with Galen’s vein malformation; however, because of their configuration, I believe that the 3 cases do not demonstrate this rare arterial variation, but rather show collateral blood flow from the occipital artery (OA) to the vertebral artery (VA). In patients with a vein of Gal...

The ventral anterior (VA) nucleus of the thalamus is connected with prefrontal and premotor cortices and with the basal ganglia. Although classically associated with motor functions, recent evidence implicates the basal ganglia in cognition and emotion as well. Here, we used two complementary approaches to investigate whether the VA is a key link for pathways underlying cognitive and emotional ...

BACKGROUND HTLV-I infection has been linked to lung pathology and HTLV-II has been associated with an increased incidence of pneumonia and acute bronchitis. However it is unknown whether HTLV-I or -II infection alters pulmonary function. METHODS We performed pulmonary function testing on HTLV-I, HTLV-II and HTLV seronegative subjects from the HTLV outcomes study (HOST), including vital capaci...
