We investigated the relationship between myocardial oedema and recovery of regional myocardial function in patients with acute reperfused myocardial infarction (MI). Early after acute MI, oedema in the peri-infarct zone, as delineated by T2 weighted (T2w) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, demonstrated significantly reduced strain as compared to remote myocardium. The recovery of ...

A study of Mycoplasma recovery from the genitourinary tract was made on a group of 50 males attending a venereal disease clinic. The purpose of the investigation was to compare recovery rates of mycoplasma from two types of clinical specimens-the urethral swab and voided urine. The total number of positive cultures did not differ significantly when either the swab or urine was used; Mycoplasma ...

cantharis q has a long history in both folk and traditional medicine being used as an aphrodisiac. it is a crude alcoholic extract of blister beetle lytta vesicatoria commonly known as spanish fly having cantharidin, a venomous substance present in it. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical application of cantharis q by assessing its effect on the vital organ, liver, for a sh...

Rubber-like materials exhibit stress softening when subject to loading–unloading cycles, i.e., the Mullins effect. However, this phenomenon can be recovered after annealing previously stretched sample under a stress-free state. The aim of paper is establish constitutive model with thermodynamic consistency account for and thermal recovery. Towards goal, (i) an explicit form Helmholtz free energ...

Medical staples are one of the nitinol shape memory alloys applications which their pedicles have to be bent for suitable function with an appropriate angle at a specified temperature .It is achievable by shape memory effect. For this purpose, samples of nitinol super elastic alloys were bent in a steel mold with different angles & formed orthopedic staples. Then shape memory effect was induced...

background recently, assessment of the atrial motion and deformation indices obtained via doppler myocardial imaging (dmi) has been proposed as a new method of exploring the atrial function. objective our aim was to assess the right atrial (ra) regional function using myocardial velocities, strain, and strain rate imaging (sri) and compare it with the function of the inter-atrial septum (ias) a...

objective: to evaluate the current scientific evidence for the applicability, safety and effectiveness of pathways of enhanced recovery after emergency surgery (eras). methods: we undertook a search using pubmed and cochrane databases for eras protocols in emergency cases. the search generated 65 titles; after eliminating the papers not meeting search criteria, we selected 4 cohort studies and ...
