BACKGROUND Validation of voltage-based scar delineation has been limited to small populations using mainly endocardial measurements. The aim of this study is to compare unipolar voltage amplitudes (UnipV) with scar on delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR). METHODS Heart failure patients who underwent DE-CMR and electro-anatomic mapping were included. Thirty-three end...

Newell-Littlewood coefficients $n_{\mu,\nu}^{\lambda}$ are the multiplicities occurring in decomposition of products universal characters orthogonal and symplectic groups. They may also be expressed, or even defined directly terms Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, $c_{\mu,\nu}^{\lambda}$. Both sets have stretched forms $c_{t\mu,t\nu}^{t\lambda}$ $n_{t\mu,t\nu}^{t\lambda}$, where $t\kappa$ is ...

endometriosis is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. it mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. this condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. we are reporting one case of scar endometriosis invol...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of unilateral ankle plantar flexors static-stretching (SS) on the passive range of movement (ROM) of the stretched limb, surface electromyography (sEMG) and single-leg bounce drop jump (SBDJ) performance measures of the ipsilateral stretched and contralateral non-stretched lower limbs. Seventeen young men (24 ± 5 years) performed SBDJ befo...

Scar endometriosis is a rare form of extra-pelvic endometriosis that can occur after surgery involving the uterus. Direct mechanical implantation seems to be the most conceivable theory for scar endometriosis. Patient usually presents with lump and pain at surgical site. Often the diagnosis of endometriosis is not suggested until histology has been performed. We hereby present a case of scar en...

cesarean scar pregnancy (csp) is a rare, but life-threatening type of ectopic pregnancy. an exact and early diagnosis of csp is very important for prognosis. the aim of the present study was to describe 4 women with csp and discuss their clinical presentations, diagnoses, and various management options along with the published literature. four women with a suspicion of csp or cervical pregnancy...

objective (s): scar formation in injured peripheral nerve bed causes several consequences which impede the process of nerve regeneration. several animal models are used for scar induction in preclinical studies which target prevention and/or suppression of perineural scar. this study evaluates the translational capacity of four of physical injury models to induce scar formation around the sciat...

background: diagnosis of kidney scar could prevent vesico urethral reflax and its complications such as hypertension and renal failure. this study was conducted to determine average kidney length and volume in infants by sonography to accurate diagnosis of scars. methods: this study was conducted on infants with the history of uti who referred to imam reza hospital, kermanshah iran, for dmsa sc...

AIM To determine the normative values of stretched penile length in apparently healthy term Igbo newborn males in South eastern Nigeria and its relationship with gestational age, birth weight and birth length. METHODS Eight hundred and eleven apparently healthy term male neonates within the first 72 h of life were studied. Enrolled subjects were consecutively delivered babies of Igbo extracti...
