The postoperative data are described of a boy who had a 'switch' operation for transposition of the great arteries with persistent ductus arteriosus more than a year before. The child is living a normal active life. Electrocardiography, echocardiography, and angiocardiography show persistent abnormality of structure and function of the right ventricle but no evidence of reduced coronary blood f...

VATNER, STEPHEN F., DEAN FRANKLIN, AND ROBERT L. VAN CTTTERS. Goronmy and uixmzl uasoactioity associated with eating and digestion in the conscious dog. Am. J. Physiol. 219(5):1380-1385. 1970.-The modifications in regional blood flow and vasoactivity in response to eating and digestion were studied in conscious dogs after full recovery from instrumentation with ultrasonic or electromagnetic flo...

S INCE most congenital cardiovascular malformations are probably a result of complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors, racial comparisons may provide clues to the etiologic factors involved. In a retrospective study, Hernandez and associates' suggested that the frequency of coarctation of the aorta was low in American Negroes, although others have disputed this observation...

His bundle electrograms were recorded in 2 adult cases of congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries. Both patients had prolonged HV conduction and a His potential that was wide. These findings are different from those reported in congenital atrioventricular block without ventricular inversion wherein an abnormality within the AHperiod has been found. It is suggested that these di...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical value of using monochromatic images in spectral CT pulmonary angiography to improve image quality of bronchial arteries. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the chest CT images of 38 patients who underwent contrast-enhanced spectral CT. These images included a set of 140kVp polychromatic images and the default 70keV monochromatic images. Using the standard G...

Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a rare, nonarteriosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease and mostly affects medium-to-large sized abdominal arteries as well as presents with hemorrhages in the abdominal cavity. We report the case of a patient with SAM of the celiac, right renal, jejunal branch of the superior mesenteric, left gastric, and splenic arteries who was diagnosed by exclud...

Specialization and inheritance are well known concepts in the area of object oriented modelling and knowledge representation However certain aspects of these concepts lack formal foun dations In particular when properties of di erent classes are semantically related several different semantics are possible for the inherited properties and a choice is necessary Conventional systems impose an a p...

IT IS now well established that cerebral arterial insufficiency may often be caused by atheromatous occlusive lesions located in the extracranial portions of the arteries supplying the brain.'-13 Although its incidence has not been accurately determined, more extensive application of arteriography in the study of such patients suggests that this type of ocelusion occurs in more than one third o...

Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy has become widespread as a treatment for early gastric cancer in eastern Asia, but a standard method for setting the stomach transection line has not been established. Here we report a novel method of setting this line based on anatomical landmarks. At the start of the operation, two anatomical landmarks along the greater curvature of the stomach were marked with...

We present a case of ischaemic hand injury in a patient, who had 95% occlusion of both the ulnar and radial arteries, after atraumatic placement of a left radial artery catheter. The presence of cigarette burns on the dorsum of the hand was highly suggestive of vascular compromise. There were no signs of vascular compromise after placement of the arterial line which was removed 24 hr later. Ten...
