Abstract. Active geological processes often generate a ground surface response such as uplift, subsidence and faulting/fracturing. Nowadays remote sensing represents key tool for the evaluation monitoring of natural hazards. The use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in relation to observations hazards encompasses three main stages: pre- post-event data acquisition, monitoring, risk assessment. mu...

Background Longitudinal association studies of atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive functions have shown an unclear role AF-type often differ in methodological aspects. We therefore aim to investigate longitudinal changes with (non-paroxysmal vs. paroxysmal) comorbidities the Swiss-AF cohort. Methods Seven measures were administered up five times between 2014 2022. Age-education standardized ...

BACKGROUND The relationship between autonomic activation and the mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We implanted a pacemaker and a radio transmitter in 7 dogs (group 1). After baseline recording, we paced the left atrium at 20 Hz for 1 week and then monitored left stellate ganglion nerve activity, left vagal nerve activity, and left atrial electr...

Paroxysmal dyskinesia can be subdivided into three clinical syndromes: paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia or choreoathetosis, paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia, and paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia. Each subtype is associated with the known causative genes PRRT2, SLC2A1 and PNKD, respectively. Although separate screening studies have been carried out on each of the paroxysmal dyskinesi...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis caused by paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is uncommon. Our case is a 44-year-old woman who presented with a 2 day history of headaches, nausea, and seizures followed by a Todd`s paresis; she had been diagnosed as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria for 4 years. A magnetic resonance venography revealed extensive thrombosis of the cerebral venous sinus. She re...

AIMS To determine the proportion of children admitted with difficult to treat paroxysmal events to a tertiary epilepsy centre who did not have epilepsy. METHODS In an observational retrospective study, all case notes of 223 children admitted in 1997 were examined. The referral was made from the local paediatric department in 51% of cases, other departments in 27%, and from general or speciali...

anotomical boundary of atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) is composed of fast and slow pathways right atrium in upper turnaround and common distal pathway in lower turnaround. we performed electophsiologic study (eps) in 152 patients and could show the existence of distal common pathway with decremental conduction properties in approximately 40 patients.

paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (pnh) is a rare hematologic disorder that manifests with hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, and peripheral blood cytopenias.acute abdominal pain is one of the pnh clinical manifestations due to venous thrombosis of intra-abdominal sites including hepatic, portal, mesenteric, and splenic veins.eculizumaband allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (bmt) arethe only w...

BACKGROUND The pulmonary veins (PVs) have been demonstrated to often play an important role in generating atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of segmental PV isolation in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF. METHODS AND RESULTS In 70 consecutive patients (mean age, 53 +/- 11 years) with paroxysmal (58) or persistent (12) AF, segme...
