We performed a retrospective study focusing on the elevation of ipsilateral hemidiaphragm of the 36 patients with or without COPD after left upper lobectomies, by measuring diaphragmatic dome length (DDL) with a plain posteroanterior roentgenogram. They were divided into two groups: group I (...
118,119 Animal studies suggest that aldosterone may mediate progression of chronic renal failure.120 Subtotal nephrectomy in rats results in adrenal hypertrophy and elevation of plasma aldosterone level. Arterial hypertension, proteinuria, and glomerulosclerosis develop; these are ameliorated by the ...
In normal conditions, the right atrium is depolarized first; the wavefront reaches the left atrium. The resulting vector is directed downwards to the left and forward, usually +45° on the frontal plane. On surface ECG, the P wave is positive in all peripheral leads, except for aVR, which...
This retrospective, cross-sectional study was approved by the Regional ethical committee in Lund and written informed consent was obtained from each subject. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the left anterior descending (LAD) territory (n = 20, age 59 ± 3 years, 17 ...
For 6 months, he had been taking 75 mg/day of Plavix after coronary angioplasty. Ocular examination revealed the patient to be in angle closure. Ultrasonography and computed tomography scan revealed a massive choroidal hemorrhage pushing the iris-lens diaphragm forward. Pain ...
2017 ESC Guidelines for the management of acute myocardial infarction in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation: the Task Force for the management of acute myocardial infarction in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Eur Heart J, 39 (2018...
Severe hepatic impairment (transaminase elevation>3 times ULN). Prolonged QTc interval on the ECG (>430 ms in men or >450 ms in women)† Concomitant use with specific pulmonary vasodilators (sildenafil, bosentan, macicentan, riociguat, or other endothelin receptor blockers, phosphodiesterase 5 ...
the physiological characteristics of the CHF animals were compared to those of the sham animals. Electrocardiographic patterns such as ST-segment elevation, deep T-wave inversion, the formation of abnormal Q-waves, the presence of a right bundle branch block and ventricular extrasystoles were frequen...
Another study that applied PI3K inhibitor 3-MA to reduced autophagosome sequestration, revealed that it can significantly reduce autophagy function and cause more severe elevation of BUN and serum Cr while rapamycin treatments showed the opposite effect after ischemia-reperfusion injury in vivo and Cells...
