Aims. Using XMM-Newton data, we have aimed to study the nuclear outflow of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 in X-rays with respect to its morphology and to spectral variations along the outflow. Methods. We analysed XMM-Newton RGS spectra, RGS brightness profiles in cross-dispersion direction, narrow band RGS and EPIC images and EPIC PN brightness profiles of the nuclear region and of the ou...

PURPOSE Transgenic Col1a1(r/r) mice develop elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with an open angle and progressive optic nerve axon loss. The present study was undertaken to evaluate aqueous outflow facility and its age dependence in these mice. METHODS Homozygous B6;129S4-Col1a1(tm1Jae) mice and corresponding wild-type Col1a1(+/+) mice from 12 to 56 weeks of age were anesthetized, and IOP wa...

We show that the starburst-driven outflow in the peculiar galaxy NGC 2782 forms a well-defined collimated bubble which has an extent of ∼ 1 kpc and a closed shell at its edge, as seen in Hα, [O III], and 5 GHz radio continuum. The shell coincides with the maximum in intensity and linewidths of [O III] lines in a blueshifted emission nebula which was previously detected via optical spectroscopy ...

BACKGROUND Nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has been regarded as the predominant hemodynamic form of the disease on the basis of assessment of outflow gradient under resting conditions. We sought to prospectively define the prevalence, clinical profile, and significance of left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction under resting conditions and with physiological exercise in...

Between January 1973 and March 1982, 13 patients have been identified who had in addition to a ventricular septal defect, a discrete narrowing of the left ventricular outflow tract. Two patients had tetralogy of Fallot and one a complete atrioventricular canal defect. Two patients had previously undergone repair of a juxtaductal coarctation and one patient banding of the pulmonary artery. Eleve...

We characterize the seasonal variation in the geochemical and isotopic content of the outflow of the Green Lake 5 rock glacier (RG5), located in the Green Lakes Valley of the Colorado Front Range, USA. Between June and August, the geochemical content of rock glacier outflow does not appear to differ substantially from that of other surface waters in the Green Lakes Valley. Thus, for this alpine...

Purpose It is not known if outflow facilities measured by pneumatonography and Schiøtz tonography are interchangeable. In this study we compared outflow facility measured by pneumatonography to outflow facility measured by digital Schiøtz tonography. Methods Fifty-six eyes from 28 healthy participants, ages 41 to 68 years, were included. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured in the sitting ...

Hepatic Venous outflow obstruction can rarely but significantly occur following the ‘piggy back’ technique of vena caval reconstruction. There are various mechanisms that cause hepatic venous outflow obstruction. A ‘ball valve’ type of obstruction requires the liver to be elevated. This can be achieved by placing various devices under the liver. We present our experience of using the ‘Bakri tub...

We report the detection of complex organic molecules in the young protostellar outflow L1157. We identify lines from HCOOCH3, CH3CN, HCOOH and C2H5OH at the position of the B1 shock in the blueshifted lobe, making it the first time that complex species have been detected towards a molecular outflow powered by a young low-mass protostar. The time scales associated with the warm outflow gas (< 2×...
