Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasurements of Mitral Annular Displacement in 2D Echocardiography ImagesFaten A. Dawood, Rahmita W. Rahmat, Suhaini B. Kadiman et al.Mitral Annular Displacement (MAD) in echocardiography has been described as a variation in mitral annulus position between the end-diastolic and the end-systolic in a complete cardiac cycle. It could be used as a rapid and reproducible method of determining the LV global systolic function and could be an easily detectable index for wall motion abnormalities. In this study, a computational … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 5 · 4 Jul 2015 · 6,850 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredictive Analysis of BMI and Liver Size on Kidney Function in Young Mexican American PopulationOrlando Patricio, Rohitha Goonatilake, Fernando G. Quintana et al.This study aimed todetermine the probability of fatty liver, hepatomegaly, and liver size ≥2SDwith age in each category of BMI percentile. It also aimed to investigate therelationship between GFR, BMI percentile, liver size, Blood Pressure (BP), andright kidney volume among overweight and obese boys and girls and to identifythe predictors of GFR. 763 records of boys and girls visiting a … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 9 Sep 2022 · 5,540 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractImmunе-Mediated Myocarditis Associated with Leptospirosis in 6 Years Old Labrador RetrieverOleinikov Dmitrii, Letunoskaja AnnaAbout 6 years old, male Labrador retriever was presented for 10 days long weakness and fatigue. After diagnostic examinations, a preliminary diagnosis of Leptospirosis was suggested. Cardiologist consultation was advised. At admission, the dog was depressed, the visible mucosa was pale and capillary refilling time was slowed. Weak systolic murmur and rhythm disturbances were auscultated. Thoracic radiography revealed the accented … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2018 · 7,090 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSildenafil in the Treatment of Postoperative Hypoxemia with High Resistance in Cyanotic Congenital Heart DiseaseZhou Jiawang, Lv Yong, Hu Zhendong et al.This study was designed to determine the effect of sildenafil treatment on postoperative hypoxemia with high resistance in cyanotic congenital heart disease. A total of 247 cases of cyanotic congenital heart disease were operated on from May 2006 to August 2014. Only 45 cases exhibited postoperative hypoxemia after symptomatic treatment. Sildenafil at doses of 0.30-5 mg/kg every 6 h was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 1 Sep 2017 · 7,682 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Recovery of Upper Limb Post-Stroke: Mental Practice with Motor and Non-Motor ImageryAline Furtado Bastos, Beatriz Cantanhede Carrapatoso, Marco Orsini et al.Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of post-stroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 9,215 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Upper Limit of Physiological Cardiac Hypertrophy in Elite Male AthletesMohammad Al Hnidawei, Majed MjallI, Ziad ZayedProblem statement: Establishment of upper normal limits of physiological hypertrophy in response to physical training is important in the differentiation of physiological and pathological left ventricular hypertrophy. The goal of our study was to investigate the normal upper limits of cardiac dimensions in elite athletes in Jordan in different types of sports (8 soccer players, 8 sprinters, 8 long distance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,104 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Stress Analysis of the Arterial Wall Utilizing Physiological Pressure WaveformsM.M. Khani, M. Tafazzoli-Shadpour, S. Delavarpour et al.Arterial diseases, promoted by alterations in arterial wall properties, are among the main causes of mortality. Mechanical stresses of the arterial wall caused by pulsatile luminal pressure define arterial function in normal and pathological conditions. This study aims to determine dynamic stress distribution in the arterial wall subjected to physiological pressure waveforms. Finite element models of a typical artery are … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,163 accessesView PDF Cite
