Ventricular arrhythmias due to ARVD and right ventricular outflow tract arrhythmia (RVOTA) share the same left bundle branch block pattern with inferior axis on the ECG. The former has a more malignant course while the latter has a better prognosis and is more amenable to radiofrequency catheter ablation. Hence differentiating them is of utmost clinical importance in the management of these pat...

Wingless (Wg)/Wnt signaling is fundamental inmetazoan development. Armadillo (Arm)/β-catenin andDishevelled (Dsh) are key components of Wnt signal transduction. Recent studies suggest that intracellular trafficking of Wnt signaling components is important, but underlying mechanisms are not well known. Here, we show that Klp64D, the Drosophila homolog of Kif3A kinesin II subunit, is required for...

PURPOSE To report the clinical and radiographic results and complications of the Delta III reverse prosthesis. METHODS 24 women and 2 men aged 62 to 84 (mean, 75) years underwent total shoulder replacement using the Delta III reverse prosthesis. Patient diagnoses were massive rotator cuff tear (n=20), disabling sequelae of proximal humeral fractures (n=3), and failure of an unconstrained arth...

The shape of a premature ventricular complex (PVC) might reflect the presence or absence of myocardial disease. To test this, 100 patients with a PVC on a 12-lead electrocardiogram at cardiac catheterization or nuclear angiography were classified according to PVC morphology. Group 1 (n = 50) had PVC QRS complexes with either smooth and uninterrupted contour or with narrow (less than 40 msec) no...

A unique law (Act 201) requiring livestock markets to place an identifying mark on calves up to 90 kg each time they are sold went into effect in Wisconsin in 1993. The intent of the law is to reduce the number of times calves are resold and hence become "stale." The original proponents of the law proposed that calves be ear-notched each time they are sold. Ear notching, however, was resisted b...
