Clinical Study to Individual Treatment for Major Aortopulmonary Collaterals of Tetralogy of Fallot
Objectives. To build a guideline for the individual treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCAs) and tentatively establish the occlusion index of MAPCAs. Methods. According to the diameter of the aortopulmonary collaterals (R: mm) and the bodyweight of the children (weight: kg), K= ((∑R2)/Wt) was set as the ...

Left ventricular volume determination in dogs: a comparison between conductance technique and angiocardiography [PDF]
Left ventricular (LV) volume was determined simultaneously by monoplane cineangiocardiography and conductivity using a multielectrode conductance catheter at rest and during pressure loading in seven mongrel dogs (mean body weight 22 kg). LV volumes were

This bibliometric analysis explores the landscape of research on the associations between specific genotypes and the cardiovascular form of diabetic neuropathy. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major contributor to premature mortality, primarily due to increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases.

Contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital‐acquired acute kidney injury (AKI), but detailed pathogenesis and effectual remedy remain elusive. Here, we tested the hypothesis that contrast media (CM) impaired mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in tubules, including mitochondrial fragmentation and mitophagy, induced systemic ...
