A sinus of Valsalva-right atrial fistula secondary to nonpenetrating chest trauma is described. Echocardiography demonstrated diastolic fluttering of the anterior tricuspid valve, suggesting a left-to-right shunt at the level of the right atrium. External jugular venous pulse tracings revealed large a waves and attenuation of the y descent. Cardiac catheterization disclosed a fistulous communic...

Platelet stimulation with ADP results in several responses. including shape change. increase in cytoplasmic ionized calcium concentration [Ca2 ],, and inhibition of adenylate cyclase. 5’-p-Fluorosulphonyb benzoybadenosine (FSBA), which covalently labels an ADP binding site on platelets. blocks platelet shape change but not the inhibition of cyclic AMP levels by ADP. whereas p-chloromercuribenze...

The siliceous zeolite Socony Mobil-twelve (ZSM-12) or MTW (Mobil-TWelve) with a one-dimensional pore system was studied at high pressure by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction in nonpenetrating DAPHNE7474 oil and penetrating argon medium. A phase transition from the space group C2/c to P2/n is observed medium close 1.5 GPa 4% volume decrease strong increase compressibility ac plane correspondi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-Flux implant in nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery. METHODS This clinical interventional case series study included 35 eyes of 35 patients with medically uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma. External trabeculectomy with T-Flux (ETTF) is a technique of nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery, in which after removing deep scleral tissue and un-roofing ...
