Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) results in chronic nasal symptoms and chest disease leading to bronchiectasis. We noted a number of patients referred for diagnostic testing whose initial results suggested PCD due to an inner dynein arm or radial spoke defect but in whom no abnormality was found on retesting. The present study was an audit of all patients referred for PCD diagnostic testing ove...

introduction: infective endocarditis (ie) causes serious complications in patients. congenital heart disease (chd) is an important underlying condition in children. case presentation: a 6-year-old girl with ventricular septal defect (vsd) was presented. echocardiography revealed large vegetation in right ventricular outflow tract near the pulmonary valve. the patient showed clinical symptoms of...

Full-ceramic ball bearings are widely applied in wide temperature ranges due to their excellent thermal shock resistance, and the condition monitoring fault diagnosis mainly conducted through spectrum analysis based on defect frequencies. However, outer ring has a spinning motion temperature-related fit clearance, which leads deviation of raceway frequencies, is not conducive diagnosis. In this...

The demand for fault diagnosis has increased with the increasing complexity of VLSI devices. Recent analysis has found that multiple defects frequently exist in failing chips. Therefore, the diagnosis of multiple defects is very important and is needed in the industry. Here we propose a multiple-defect diagnosis method using an efficient selection algorithm that can handle various defect behavi...

We present a case report about percutaneous closure of a congenital Gerbode defect using Nit-Occlud® Lê VSD coil. The patient was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. But transthoracic echocardiography revealed a communication between the left ventricle (LV) and the right atrial (RA), called Gerbode defect. Cath...

UNLABELLED An infant, showing peripheral cyanosis, was born after lower abdominal peripheral caesarian section of the pregnant women having TORCH positive test with the infection of Toxoplasma gondiiand Cytomegalovirus. She had three abortions prior to this pregnancy. Doppler echocardiography of the baby showed profound intracardiac defects. After birth, echocardiography was carried out for dia...

INTRODUCTION Primary angiosarcomas of the aorta are rare and because of their non-specific presentation, the initial diagnosis is often very difficult. REPORT A 66 year old woman, initially suffering from night sweats and general malaise, is presented. A computerized tomography (CT) scan was performed which showed a filling defect of the descending aorta. This defect later caused embolic occl...
