ARRHYTHMIC MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE WITH FEATURES OF MITRAL ANNULAR DISJUNCTION AND MYOCARDIAL TISSUE CHANGES AS ASSESSED WITH CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE

Background.Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a rare disorder linked to abrupt cardiac mortality and malignant ventricular arrhythmias.Beyond conventional prognostic indicators, risk stratification may have a promising function in MVP patients, as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can identify tissue alterations in these patients.Case Illustrati

The liver responds to estrogens and GH which are critical regulators of body growth, gender-related hepatic functions, and intermediate metabolism.The effects of estrogens on liver can be Baby One-Pieces direct, through the direct actions of hepatic ER, or indirect, which include the crosstalk with endocrine, metabolic, and sex-differentiated funct

One of the problems associated with tissues following death and long term storage is that the component biomolecules degrade to a greater or lesser extent.As a direct result of this degradation it is necessary to use larger specimens for analysis compared to contemporary tissues.The ever-increasing scarcity of mummified tissue, coupled with the exp

The field of cardiac electrophysiology has greatly developed during the past decades.Consequently, the use of electrophysiological studies (EPSs) in clinical practice has also significantly augmented, with a progressively increasing number of certified electrophysiology centers and specialists.Since Zipes et al published the Guidelines for Clinical

BACKGROUND: Severe asthma mandates careful attention and timely management, and the benefit of ketamine in severe asthma exacerbations in adult patients require further exploration.METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the use of ketamine in cases of acute asthma exacerbation in adults.We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Co
