Objective: To explore the cause and emergency rescue of Ventricular Electrical Storm (VES) during primary PCI for patients with acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Method: Among 796 patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI 39 patients (4.9%) who happened to the VES during PCI procedure were studied. The causes, the characteristics of the coronary artery lesions, DC shock and the...

A Geoelectrical resistivity survey using Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) was carried out in Medak District, Andhra Pradesh, India, in order to assess the subsurface geology and groundwater potential zones. Twenty six vertical electrical soundings were recorded with Schlumberger electrode configuration with current electrode spacing (AB/2) half ranging from 1 to 150m. The field data has been...

Background: The aim of our study was to examine the possibility of ventricular extrasystole (VES) management in CAD (coronary artery disease) patients by attenuating the sympathetic activity with a course of electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. Methods: A decrease in sympathetic tone was achieved via vagus nerve electrical stimulation (VNES). VNES was performed in 48 male CAD patients, me...

Koyna region is well-known for its triggered seismic activities since the hazardous earthquake of M = 6.3 occurred around the Koyna reservoir on 10 December 1967. Understanding the shallow distribution of resistivity pattern in such a seismically critical area is vital for mapping faults, fractures and lineaments. However, deducing true resistivity distribution from the apparent resistivity dat...

Landslide-prone areas on the coastal zone of downstream Takhtakorpu reservoir located arid-hilly part southeastern slope Great Caucasus mountain system (Azerbaijan) were investigated using vertical electrical sounding (VES) method. The entire research area is geologically active. It complicated by seismicity (with an intensity 8—9 points MSK-64 scale), (uplift Earth’s crust about +6 mm/year) an...

This paper presents a novel desktop virtual reality model titled Virtual Electrical Services (VES), developed to enhance electrical safety and design in the built environment. The model developed using Quest3D has the potential to be used as an industry design tool or as an educational tool for third level students and represents a significant watershed in how electrical services engineers can ...

An automatic inverse method has been developed for generating layered earth models from electrical sounding data. The models have the minimum number of layers required to fit a resistivity sounding curve or a combined resistivity and induced polarization sounding. The ground is modeled using a very large number of thin layers to accommodate arbitrary variations. The properties of the layers are...
