Malignant Lymphoma is uncommon in female genital tract. A rare presentation of Malignant Lymphoma of the vagina has been reported here. A 61 years old woman presented with postmenopausal bleeding of 10 days duration. On examination per vaginum, the patient had firm nodular infiltrative growth involving entire posterior vaginal wall and full thickness of recto-vaginal septum. Bleeding ulcer was ...

OBJECTIVES We examined the prognostic significance of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle in patients with essential hypertension and normal left ventricular mass on echocardiography. BACKGROUND An echocardiographic pattern of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle has been associated with clinical features of increased cardiovascular risk, but the independent prognostic value of...

To estimate the hypertrophic sites of the left ventricle by body surface mapping (MAP), we performed MAP in 55 patients with hypertension and compared the MAP data with echocardiographic findings. MAP data were analyzed using the departure map technique reported by Flowers et al. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the normal control were obtained from 40 normal volunteers. We constructed d...

Ventricular remodeling of both geometry and fiber structure is a prominent feature of several cardiac pathologies. Advances in MRI and analytical methods now make it possible to measure changes of cardiac geometry, fiber, and sheet orientation at high spatial resolution. In this report, we use diffusion tensor imaging to measure the geometry, fiber, and sheet architecture of eight normal and fi...

today, with emphasis on the mechanical heart and heart transplantation from one human to another andone species to another, a knowledge of the anatomy of the bird’s heart could contribute to theseaccomplishments. eight male adult ostriches were used to study the heart macroscopically. this studyrevealed that the ostrich heart has some different features from the other birds. in the ostrich, fib...

Ten patients with constrictive pericarditis were studied echocardiographically with specific reference to inter-ventricular septal dynamics. Abnormal movement of the interventricular septum was present in 8 patients and consisted of flattening in systole and unusual posterior motion in diastole. The aetiology of this type of movement is at present unknown but may be related to restriction of no...

We studied whether emission computed tomography (ECT) with 123I-labeled 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3R,S-methylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) shows myocardial distribution different from 201Tl in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In 10 patients with asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH), 5 with diffuse hypertrophy and 2 with apical hypertrophy, ECT was acquired 30 min (early) and 4 hr (late) after injection of 123I...

a 47-year-old man presented as a dyspnea and fatigue. a transthoracic echocardi-ography (tte) performed to assess valvar heart disease and left ventricular (lv) function showed a large hydatid cysts in the inter ventricular septum bulging to posterior of heart and compressing its overlying muscle as whitish round mass. the patient underwent elective surgery by evacuation of septal hydatid cysts...

This is a report on the anatomical findings of 6 cases of typical Ebstein's anomaly found in a review of 1300 autopsy specimens. In addition 2 cases with pulmonary atresia and 1 with atresia of the malformed tricuspid valve showing morphologically similar anomalies were found, as well as 29 cases with tricuspid valvular dysplasia (21 of them coexisting with pulmonary atresia with intact ventric...
