Background— Aortic root rupture is a major concern with balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We sought to identify predictors of during TAVR by using multidetector computed tomography. Methods and Results— Thirty-one consecutive patients who experienced left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT)/annular/aortic contained/noncontained were collected from 16 centers. A caliper-matched sample 31 without annular rupture, underwent pre-TAVR tomography served as control...
At present, the choice of noninvasive testing for a diagnosis significant coronary artery disease (CAD) is ambiguous, but nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging with single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) or positron (PET) and computed angiography (CCTA) predominantly used this purpose. However, to date, prospective head-to-head studies are lacking regarding diagnostic accuracy these modalities. Furthermore, combination anatomical functional assessments configuring hybrid approach may yield...
Background Thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans are widely performed in clinical practice, often leading to detection of airway or parenchymal abnormalities asymptomatic minimally symptomatic individuals. However, relevance CT is uncertain the general population. Methods We evaluated data from 1361 participants aged ≥40 years a Canadian prospective cohort comprising 408 healthy never-smokers, 502 ever-smokers, and 451 individuals with spirometric evidence chronic obstructive pulmonary...
Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has extended the longevity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. However, this resulted in greater awareness age-associated diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Accelerated cellular senescence may be responsible, but its magnitude measured by leukocyte telomere length is unknown and relationship to HIV-associated COPD not yet been established. We absolute (aTL) peripheral leukocytes from 231...
<b>Aim:</b> To know the efficacy of Triphala extract and Chlorhexidine mouth rinse against plaque gingival inflammation. Materials Methods: A double blinded parallel arm randomised control trial was done among 60 participants aged 18-24 years. Participants were randomly allotted to three groups with 20 in each group 0.6% triphala, 0.12% chlorhexidine group. Study 2 phases 21 days duration. During experimental period, rinsed allocated 10ml twice daily for 30 seconds without any supervision....
The increased longevity afforded by combination antiretroviral therapy in developed countries has led to an concern regarding senescence-related diseases patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Previous epidemiologic analyses have demonstrated risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well a significant burden respiratory symptoms HIV-infected patients. We performed the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) 199 HIV-positive men, and determined predominant...
The natural history of right ventricular (RV) and left (LV) size function among adults with tetralogy Fallot (TOF) repair hemodynamically significant pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is not known. main aim this study was to determine changes in RV LV over time an adult population TOF regurgitation.Forty patients repaired PR were included. These identified on the basis having more than one CMR between January 2008 2015. Patients a prosthetic valve or any cardiac intervention studies excluded....
Dental pain is a major public health problem and one of the consequences oral diseases which requires significant adjustments in life management leading to decreased quality life.To assess prevalence dental its impact on daily explore relationship with behavior clinical status among 10-15 year old school children attending promoting schools.This cross sectional study was conducted 6 schools serving low -middle socio economic strata Bangalore, India. A total 1237 were surveyed for history...
A 61-year-old asymptomatic woman was referred for echocardiography to evaluate recently detected systolic murmur. Transthoracic revealed an echodense obstructive mass in the left ventricular outflow tract of unclear origin. Subsequent transesophageal echo suggested intracardiac calcified tumor and recommended surgical excision. Contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography (CT) confirmed a well-defined lobulated adherent anterior mitral valve leaflet, non-enhanced scout view marked...
Background: The growing burden of noncommunicable diseases like type II diabetes mellitus is a challenge worldwide. Type has number complications which includes oral conditions periodontitis, tooth loss, dry mouth, and taste alterations. However, it unclear if these affect the health-related quality life (OHRQoL) in diabetic patients. Aim: aim this study was to explore association between health status OHRQoL adult Materials Methods: A cross-sectional done teaching dental hospital setting on...
Aim: Gingivitis is a common oral condition that can lead to severe dental complications.Prior research has shown the antimicrobial efficacies of tea tree oil (TTO) and chlorine dioxide (ClO 2 ) against microorganisms.The aim this study evaluate effect these mouthwashes plaque accumulation gingival inflammation among young adults.Materials methods: This followed single-center, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized controlled trial design was conducted in Bengaluru 60 participants aged...
