The venture capital and private equity industry in India has grown significantly recent years. Using data from 2004–2008, a life cycle analysis provides findings that can impact the long-term growth of industry. A large proportion deals are Round 1 investments, with dramatic drop subsequent rounds. Most investments late-stage financing take place many years after incorporation investee firm. is also characterized by short duration investments. To ensure India, should be made early stage...
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recently published revised criteria for ECG interpretation in the athlete.To examine performance 2010 ESC a population athletes undergoing preparticipation cardiovascular disease screening.University (n=508) underwent routine medical history/physical examination and before athletic participation. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was also performed on each participant to detect or exclude cardiac findings with relevance sport Screening test...
BackgroundIn clinical heart failure (HF), inefficient propagation of blood through the left ventricle (LV) may result from suboptimal vortex formation (VF) ability LV during early diastole. We aim to (i) validate echocardiographic-derived time (adapted) (VFTa) in control subjects and (ii) examine its utility both systolic diastolic HF.
Objectives To investigate the relationship between microliths and germ cell tumor histologic subtypes determine whether correlate with stage at diagnosis. Methods A total of 1249 patients testicular cancer seen 1999 2013 were evaluated; 346 (28%) primary tumors sonographic imaging unaffected tissue formed analytic cohort. Age, ethnicity, subtype, diagnosis extracted from medical record. Two examiners concurrently recorded highest number per image tissue. Results 175 (51%) had 1 or more...
Spinal cord stimulation is the most commonly used implantable neurostimulation modality for management of pain syndromes. For treatment lower extremity pain, spinal stimulator lead typically placed in thoracic epidural space, at T10-T12 levels. Typically, satisfactory can be obtained relatively easily. Anatomical variability such as scarring, has been reported to prevent successful implantation stimulators. lipomatosis describes an abnormal overgrowth adipose tissue extradural space. Cases...
A retrospective evaluation of the functional results after reconstructive treatment with levator scapulae transfer and scapulo-spinal fasciodesis by fascia lata slings for complete chronic trapezius palsy is presented. Five patients (ages 6 to 40 years) were operated on between 1988 1991 because incapacitating pain and/or limitations. Treatment was recommended failure alleviate symptoms a shoulder-girdle muscle-strengthening program or unsuccessful nerve graft.

We would like to thank Professor Erdem Kasikcioglu for his interest in our article. In response the initial question of why exhaustive physical activity suppresses diastolic function, we believe that does not attenuate only diastolic, but also systolic function as evidenced by a reduction tissue-Doppler-derived strain values both septal and lateral …
31 Background: The objective of this study was to examine the incidence and predictors gastrointestinal (GI) complications following intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer their impact on national healthcare expenditure. Methods: Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER)-Medicare-linked data, we identified 11,781 men diagnosed with non-metastatic from 2002 2006 who underwent definitive IMRT, had no pre-existing GI toxicity, at least 36 months follow-up...
A carotid-cavernous fistula is a rare abnormal communication between carotid vasculature and the cavernous sinus. Development of often results from trauma, but may be spontaneous in setting predisposing risk factors. Suspicion for understandably low on routine non-contrast imaging. In this article, we present case initially presenting with potentially underrecognized imaging manifestation diffuse pituitary enlargement identified CT, later revealed to due presence fistula.
Retro-ondontoid pseudotumors represent soft tissue proliferation surrounding the transverse ligament of atlas, which most commonly results in cervical neck pain or myelopathy due to impingement upon cervicomedullary junction. The causes retro-odontoid pseudotumor formation are varied and include metabolic, inflammatory, degenerative, post-traumatic etiologies. To best our knowledge, an abducens nerve palsy as a result complex has never been reported. We discuss case 90-year-old woman who...
