BACKGROUND Certain types of the early repolarization phenomenon, previously considered to be benign, have been reported to be associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF), both in population-based studies and in the myocardial infarction (MI) settings. OBJECTIVE To analyze whether QRS widening and appearance of a J-wave pattern in experimental MI settings is predictive of VF. METHODS MI wa...

Abstract A study on the suspended sediment transportation downstream from the Danjiangkou Reservoir in China has shown that the dynamics of suspended sediment grain size are complicated. During the period when the reservoir was used for flood retention, the suspended sediment median size decreased gradually; after entering the period when the reservoir was used for water storage, the median siz...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is difficult to diagnose because of its nonspecific symptoms. Although echocardiography can reliably and rapidly recognize the presence of pulmonary hypertension, chest X ray (CXR) is more widely used because of its availability. The objective of this study was to find a parameter, which, by changing the scale of CXR, is still useful for detection ...

A 44-year old man presented with increased shortness of breath. A chest X-ray revealed a widening of the mediastinum (Fig. 1a). Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right paratracheal tumour (Fig. 1b, c). Rotational arteriography showed that the right thyrocervical artery was supplying the mass (Fig. 1d). He underwent a right cervical incision and thoracotomy resection of the mass. Histolo...

Introduction Recent data on borderline resectable pancreatic cancer have resulted in widening horizons of pancreatic surgery in terms of vascular resection. Gastroduodenal artery usually originates from common hepatic artery and traverses anterior to pancreas. It is ligated at its origin from the common hepatic artery during Pancreatoduodenectomy. Case report A middle-aged gentleman presented t...

Internal iliac artery begins at the bifurcation of common and divides into anterior posterior trunks. Comprehension location anatomical variations this vessel is essential in performing safe pelvic procedures without operative complications. The aim our study to analyze internal its relationship with important structures. We have performed a dissection male pelvis branching patterns artery. In ...

Vertebral artery loop formation causing encroachment on cervical neural foramen and canal is a rare cause of cervical radiculopathy. We report a case of 61-year-old woman with vertebral artery loop formation who presented with right shoulder pain radiating to her arm for 2 years. Plain radiograph and computed tomography scan revealed widening of the right intervertebral foramen at the C5-6 leve...
