Chronic constrictive pericarditis: a rare cardiac involvement in primary Sjögren’s syndrome
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023 Background Constrictive pericarditis represents a chronic condition and systemic inflammatory diseases are a known, yet uncommon, cause. Pericardial involvement is seldom reported in primary Sjögren’s syndrome, usually occurring in association with ...

Transition from positive to negative magnetoresistance induced by a constriction in semiconductor nanowire [PDF]
, 2015 We have studied the magnetotransport through an indium antimonide (InSb) nanowire grown in [111] direction, with a geometric constriction and in an external magnetic field applied along the nanowire axis. We have found that the magnetoresistance is negative for the narrow constriction, nearly zero for the constriction of some intermediate radius, and ...

Low-field quantum Hall transport in an electron Fabry-Perot interferometer: Determination of constriction filling vs front-gate voltage [PDF]
Phys. Rev. B 78, 245322 (2008), 2008 We report systematic quantum Hall transport experiments on Fabry-Perot electron interferometers at ultra-low-temperatures. The GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure devices consist of two constrictions defined by etch trenches in 2D electron layer, enclosing an approximately circular island.

Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 vaccine‐induced myocarditis
ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract COVID‐19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID‐19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post‐mortem analysis.

Subacute pericardial abscess after aortic valve replacement: a case report
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020 Background Purulent pericarditis is an infectious disease, frequently caused by gram-positive bacteria, that is rarely observed in healthy individuals, and is often associated with predisposing conditions.

Constrictive Pericarditis with Extensive Calcification and Caseous Necrosis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020 Constrictive pericarditis is a disease where loss of pericardial elasticity and restriction of filling of the cardiac chambers occurs. It is most often seen as an associated symptom of heart failure.

Re-examining Archie's law: Conductance description by tortuosity and constriction [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 86, 046-314 (2012), 2015 In this article we investigate the electrical conductance of an insulating porous medium (e.g., a sedimentary rock) filled with an electrolyte (e.g., brine), usually described using the Archie cementation exponent. We show how the electrical conductance depends on changes in the drift velocity and the length of the electric field lines, in addition to ...

Long-term results of radical pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis in Korean population
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2019 BackgroundThe extent of pericardiectomy is an important issue in constrictive pericarditis but its impact on long-term outcomes has been rarely reported.

A case report of constrictive pericarditis: a forgotten cause of refractory ascites
Radiology Case Reports, 2020 Constrictive pericarditis is well known but rare and commonly forgotten cause of ascites. Early diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis is difficult due to absence of typical cardiopulmonary signs and multiple vague symptoms and its insidious course.
