Complete heart block in COVID-19 without prior cardiac disease
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022 Cardiac involvement in COVID-19 is not rare but underdiagnosed. We report a 78-year-old man with COVID-19 and complete heart block, timely managed by teamwork involving internist, cardiologist, and intensivist.

NRC-Net: Automated noise robust cardio net for detecting valvular cardiac diseases using optimum transformation method with heart sound signals [PDF]
, 2023 Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can be effectively treated when detected early, reducing mortality rates significantly. Traditionally, phonocardiogram (PCG) signals have been utilized for detecting cardiovascular disease due to their cost-effectiveness and simplicity. Nevertheless, various environmental and physiological noises frequently affect the PCG

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose A set of treatment planning strategies were designed and retrospectively implemented for locally advanced, non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in order to minimize cardiac dose without compromising target coverage goals. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for 20 NSCLC patients prescribed to 60–66 Gy that received a ...

A small footprint couch‐top support device for image‐guided radiotherapy of heavy patients
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose Patients with body weights close to or above 400 lbs present unique challenges in radiation therapy since the weight limit of most treatment couches decreases as the couch‐top extends toward the treatment gantry. The purpose of this work was to develop a small footprint couch‐top support platform to safely perform image‐guided ...

Patient-Specific Heart Model Towards Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
ICCPS 2021: Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE 12th International
Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems, 2022 Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that affects tens of millions people worldwide. The most effective treatment is catheter ablation. This involves irreversible heating of abnormal cardiac tissue facilitated by electroanatomical mapping.

Treatment planning with a 2.5 MV photon beam for radiation therapy
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Purpose The shallow depth of maximum dose and higher dose fall‐off gradient of a 2.5 MV beam along the central axis that is available for imaging on linear accelerators is investigated for treatment of shallow tumors and sparing the organs at risk (OARs) beyond it.

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2021 Mitral valve infective endocarditis, without aortic involvement, is a rare cause of complete heart block. It is thought that infections placed close to the conductive system of the heart may drive a conduction block. We found six cases in the literature,

The American Journal of Medicine, 1956 Abstract 1.1. Studies of eight cases of congenital heart block, including the first published case of mitral atresia with congenital heart block, are presented. 2.2. Review of the literature revealed that of the seventeen cases of congenital heart block reported with postmortem findings interventricular septal defect, with or without other ...
