congenital lobar emphysema is a rare cause of respiratory distress during infancy which is cured by surgery. we are reporting three cases of congenital lobar emphysema with different presentations of the disease. chest x-ray was the basis of diagnosis but confirmatory lung computerized tomography was also used. the emphysematous lobe was left upper lobe in two infants and right upper and middle...

myocardial bridging with systolic compression of the left anterior descending coronary artery (lad) may be associated with myocardial ischemia. in symptomatic myocardial bridging unresponsive to medical treatment, surgical unroofing of the left lad can be performed. little information is available about the long-term prognosis of patients with this coronary anomaly after the surgical unroofing,...

noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is an embryonic cardiomyopathy that is increasingly being recognized. noncompaction of lv myocardium, right ventricular myocardium, or both can occur in isolation, in congenital heart diseases, in valvular heart diseases, in neuromuscular disorders, skeletal abnormalities and in endocrinologic abnormalities. clinical manifestations of ventricular non-...

in this paper, we present the concepts of a fuzzy soft left (right) ideal and fuzzy soft interior ideal over an ordered semigroup s . some basic results of fuzzy soft left (right) ideals and fuzzy soft interior ideals are investigated and the supported examples are provided. different classes, regular, intra-regular, and simple ordered semigroups are   characterized by means of fuzzy sof...

conclusions despite the widespread use of 2d lvef and its good agreement with ventriculography, strain analysis seems to be more reliable as a quantitative tool for ventricular assessment. results the lvef values obtained by the two methods of ventriculography and echocardiography were not significantly different. the highest correlation regarding the echocardiographic lvef was obtained in the ...

background: exercise and rehabilitation are important methods for decreasing the risk factors of coronary artery disease (cad). we aimed to evaluate the effect of the cardiac rehabilitation (cr) exercise program on the cardiac structure and physiology in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). methods: in this randomized controlled study, 146 patients with cad were divided...

actinomycosis is a rare and chronic infectious disease caused by a non-spore gram- positive, anaerobic bacterium that rarely infects the colon, in particular the left colon. a 53-year-old woman was referred to us due to chronic abdominal pain, bloating, a few episodes of bloody-mucous rectal discharge, and  change of bowel habits. her medical history and physical examination were unremarkable. ...
