In this report, we describe a continuous murmur heard in a young woman at the beginning of her lactation period, which illustrates a typical example of 'Mammary Souffle', described one century ago. Colour Doppler and pulsed-wave mode echocardiogram allowed to precise, for the first time, the arterial nature of increased systolic and diastolic blood flow in tortuous branches of internal mammary ...

This study was conducted on 384 clinically healthy sheep and goats from farms around Tehran suburb. The animals were divided into two equal groups (according to species) and then assigned into three age groups, two gender groups and female animals into two groups: late pregnant and non-pregnant. Heart sounds were auscultated by two cardiologists and heart rate and probable murmurs were recorded...

INDIAN PEDIATRICS 397 VOLUME 42APRIL 17, 2005 only the tip of the iceberg and a large number of other steroid babies go undetected. Guidelines for dispensing over the counter steroids in developing countries are lacking(1). The irrational prescriptions of steroids as treatment for common cold both by practitioners of allopathy and alternative systems of medicine are increasing. Kshirsagar, et a...

Acoustic information about the place of articulation of a prevocalic nasal consonant is distributed over two distinct signal portions, the nasal murmur and the onset of the following vowel. The spectral properties of these signal portions are perceptually important, as is their relationship (the pattern of spectral change). A series of experiments was conducted to investigate to what extent rel...

In this report we describe a child who had an apical systolic click and murmur, as well as widespread cutaneous neurofibromatosis. We were not able to show an anatomical basis for the click and murmur.

In most cases of patent ductus arteriosus the diagnosis is readily made on recognition of the typical murmur. In some, however, the continuous murmur is lacking, and a systolic murmur only, of variable loudness, is heard at the pulmonary area. This is not uncommon in infants and young children, who may later develop the characteristic murmur (Gilchrist, 1945). Occasionally the continuous murmur...
