Cardiac toxicity is one of the most concerning side effects anti-cancer therapy. The gain in life expectancy obtained with therapy can be compromised by increased morbidity and mortality associated its cardiac complications. While radiosensitivity heart was initially recognized only early 1970s, regarded current era as critical dose-limiting organs radiotherapy. Several clinical studies have identified adverse consequences radiation-induced disease (RIHD) on outcome long-term cancer...
The term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach athlete's aims differentiate physiological changes due intensive training in from serious cardiac diseases with similar morphological features. Imaging assessment should begin thorough echocardiographic examination.Left ventricular (LV) wall thickness echocardiography can contribute distinction between LV hypertrophy hypertrophic...
The natural history and the management of patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) have not been fully examined in current era.To determine clinical outcomes AS using data from Heart Valve Clinic International Database.This registry was assembled by merging prospectively gathered institutional databases 10 heart valve clinics Europe, Canada, United States. Asymptomatic an area 1.5 cm2 or less preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than 50% at entry were considered...
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is often used as a complementary finding in the diagnostic work-up of patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Whether soluble ST2, new biomarker cardiac stretch, associated symptomatic status and outcome asymptomatic AS unknown. sST2 BNP levels were measured 86 (74±13 years; 59 asymptomatic, 69%) (<1.5 cm2) preserved left ventricular ejection fraction who followed-up for 26±16 months. Both NYHA class but (>23 ng/mL, AUC = 0.68, p<0.01) was more accurate to...
SUMMARY Crohn’s disease (CD) is a multifactorial with genetic heterogeneity. TNF-α plays key role in the development of mucosal lesions. The aim our work was to study single base pair polymorphism located promoter region TNF gene, large population CD patients well defined phenotypes. One hundred and ninety-three 98 ethnically matched controls were studied. −308 gene studied using an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Genotype allelic frequencies compared between subgroups by sex, age...
Abstract Aims The appropriate timing for surgery in severe asymptomatic primary mitral regurgitation (MR) remains controversial. It has been shown that late gadolinium enhancement on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE CMR), which may identify myocardial fibrosis, is associated with a worse outcome various cardiomyopathies. We sought to investigate the prevalence and significance of delayed MR. Methods prospectively included 41 patients at least moderate MR without overt signs left...
Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) remains the first-line diagnostic imaging tool to assess primary mitral regurgitation although cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has proven establish left ventricular function more accurately and might evaluate severity reliably. We sought compare routine evaluation of by 2DTTE with assessment CMR in moderate severe without overt dysfunction.We prospectively included 38 patients (79% male, age 57 ± 14 years) at least regurgitation,...
Aims The objective assessment of maximal exercise capacity (MEC) using peak oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) measurement may be helpful in the management asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) patients. However, relationship between left ventricular (LV) function and MEC has been relatively unexplored. We aimed to identify which echocardiographic parameters LV systolic can predict AS.
Direct evidence for Palaeolithic sound-making instruments is relatively rare, with only a few examples recorded from Upper contexts, particularly in European cultures. However, theoretical considerations suggest that such artefacts have existed elsewhere the world. Nevertheless, sound production tenuous prehistoric archaeological record of Levant, study music and its evolution being sparsely explored. Here we report new Levant discovery seven aerophones made perforated bird bones Final...
An 81-year-old woman was found unconscious on a walking path. The patient had severe hypothermia (central body temperature: 30°C). She known to be insulin-dependent diabetic for many years and recently developed signs of dementia. Biological …
