A 23-year-old asymptomatic woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of a systolic ejection murmur with fixed splitting of the second heart sound auscultated at the third left sternal border. Initial echocardiography could not detect the cause. Subsequently performed low-dose computed tomography, however, ruled out the possibility of any congenital heart diseases, but revealed ...

Future Maskless Lithography systems will require high throughput circuitry to interface to the writers. Previous works have demonstrated architectures for LZ decompression architectures to decrease chip pin count [1]. In this work we will compare compression done systolically and non-systolically at the circuit level. Furthermore, we analyze different techniques to get the data to the writers a...

Inadequate coronary vasodilator reserve, 1 luminal narrowing of coronary capillaries, and systolic compression of the intramyocardial small arteries are considered to contribute towards myocardial ischaemia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Previously, abnormal phasic coronary flow velocity pattern in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in patients with HCM, whi...

The Bernheim syndrome has been a topic of discussion for over a century. It has been reported to be caused by severe rightward movement of the ventricular septum resulting in compression of the right ventricular cavity leading to right-sided heart failure without pulmonary congestion. Hemodynamic findings have been described in a few patients with the so-called Bernheim syndrome. We describe a ...

Demand for High Speed & Low Power Architecture for Image/Video Compression Algorithms are increasing with scaling in VLSI Technology many Architectures in the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) System have been proposed. This Paper surveys the different designed DWT’s using Systolic Array Architectures and the Architectures are classified based on the application whether it is 1-D, 2-D or 3-D. Th...

Color space conversion is very important in many types of image processing applications including video compression. This operation consumes up to 40% of the entire processing power of a highly optimised decoder. Therefore, techniques which efficiently implement this conversion are desired. This paper presents four different scalable architectures for efficient implementation of two such color ...

We consider parallel algorithms for on-line (realtime) data compression that employ dynamic (adaptive) “learning” by textual substitution (e.g., techniques studied in the past by this author, Lempel and Ziv, Welch, Miller and Wegman, etc.). Our model of computation is a systolic pipe, where processors are arranged in a linear array (each processor is connected only to its left and right neighbo...

Abstract Background The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact peritoneal dialysis (PD) on venous congestion, right ventricle function, systolic arterial pulmonary pressure and clinical functional status in elderly patients with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) chronic heart failure (HF). Methods A case series 21 (17 males, 70±11 years) consecutive pts diuretic-resistance ventricular dysfunction...

A myocardial muscle bridge spans a segment of a major epicardial coronary artery that is located in the myocardium. This anatomic configuration can be responsible for angina pectoris, arrhythmias or even death. The current reference standard for diagnosis is conventional x-ray coronary angiography showing systolic compression of an epicardial vessel and the typical angiographic "milking effect....
