Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability premature death is crucial to understanding responding complex patterns disease injury burden over time across age groups, sexes, locations. The availability estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public researchers, policy makers, other professionals implement strategies mitigate diseases. It also facilitate more rigorous monitoring progress towards national...
Individuals exhibiting "the metabolic syndrome" have multiple coronary artery disease risk factors, including insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and android obesity. We performed a randomized trial to compare the effects of aerobic resistance training regimens on factors. Twenty-six volunteers who exhibited obesity at least one other factor for were or groups. Body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, glucose, insulin, body composition, 24-hr urinary albumin, fibrinogen, blood...
Background Despite the fact that swimming is often recommended for prevention and treatment of hypertension, no study has examined potential efficacy regular exercise lowering blood pressure in hypertensive humans. Objective To test hypothesis lowers resting pressure. Design A 10-week closely supervised training program compared with a non-exercising control group. Patients Eighteen previously sedentary men women [aged 48 ± 2 years (mean SEM)] stage 1 or essential hypertension. Results The...
Introduction: Periodontal disease is a prevalent complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and poor glycemic control known risk factor. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the predictive value glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for periodontal progression in cohort T2DM patients Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: A prospective was conducted at private hospital, Indonesia, from January 2021 2023. 180 with pre-existing chronic periodontitis were enrolled. parameters, including probing...
Myocardial infarction (MI) continues to be a predominant cause of mortality globally and is characterized by restricted therapeutic alternatives considerable adverse effects linked traditional treatments. This study assessed the cardioprotective properties Justicia adhatoda leaf extract against isoproterenol-induced myocardial in rats at GC, University Faisalabad. A total 32 albino Wistar were randomly allocated into four groups, with one group designated as control remaining groups...
Left ventricular (LV) twist is manifested in oppositely directed apical and basal rotation. We studied a new 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiography program (wall motion tracking; Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc, Tustin, CA) for left rotation.We used rotation model with variable-speed motor to rotate hearts water bath. 10 freshly harvested pig hearts, which were mounted on the rotary actuator of our phantom heart base rotating apex held fixed avoid translational motion, at rotations 0...
Normal left ventricular contraction involves a twisting component that helps augment stroke volume, the unwinding of which also very usefully contributes to early diastolic filling. Abnormalities cardiac twist have been related abnormal function. We sought quantify action using new sonographically based angle-independent motion-detecting echo method.A model was developed with variable-speed motor rotate wheel in water bath. A freshly harvested pig heart mounted on it as phantom. Short axis...
Objectives We sought to determine the feasibility and reproducibility of real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) for evaluation cardiac volume, mass, function characterize maturational changes these measurements in human fetuses. Methods Eighty pregnant women 2nd 3rd trimesters (59 with normal fetuses 21 congenital heart disease [CHD]) were enrolled. acquired RT3DE images using a matrix-array transducer. stroke volume (SV), combined output (CCO), ejection fraction (EF) obtained....
Aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic regurgitation (AR) are associated with congenital isolated bicuspid valve (BAV) disease. The chronic pressure overload of AS the volume AR known to impair left ventricular function. This study assessed whether two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) is capable detecting myocardial dysfunction BAV caused by various lesions in patients retaining normal ejection fraction (EF).Thirty-two 20 healthy tricuspid (TAV) volunteers were recruited....
Objective Quantitative left ventricular mass ( LVM ) as well regional strain values may be obtained from full‐volume real time 3D echocardiography data via semi‐automated feature tracking and represent indices of heart function, both in health disease. Methods Fresh adult porcine ovine hearts were passively pumped to simulate normal cardiac motion at stroke volumes SV s) varying 30 70 mL. A 3V‐D Matrix probe, interfaced with a GE Vivid E9 ultrasound system, was used image each baseline...
Noninvasive quantification of left ventricular (LV) stroke volumes has an important clinical role in assessing circulation and monitoring therapeutic interventions for cardiac disease.

Purpose: Quantitative analysis of cardiac motion is important for evaluation heart function. Three dimensional (3D) echocardiography among the most frequently used imaging modalities estimation because it convenient, real-time, low-cost, and nonionizing. However, from 3D echocardiographic sequences still a challenging problem due to low image quality corruption by noise artifacts.
