ABSTRACT Currently, diagnosis of gas bubble disease (GBD) in fish relies on visual observations of bubbles in various body parts and exophthalmus. These observations lack quantified information about gas bubble load, limiting their diagnostic value.

Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome by a commonly overlooked anomaly, the cervical rib: A case report
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a constellation of symptoms that occur due to the compression of neurovascular structures traversing the thoracic outlet. TOS manifests in 3 distinct forms: neurogenic, venous, and arterial.

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 13 is indispensable for normal mouse heart development
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common defect in live births. The role of cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK13) in cardiogenesis and CHD was studied using a transgenic mouse model (Cdk13tm1b) carrying deletion of exons 3 and 4, causing loss of function.

Study of the correlation between bicuspid aortic valve and the development of aortic dissection [PDF]
La disección aórtica (AD) es la condición letal más comúnmente diagnosticada de la arteria aorta y consiste en el redireccionamiento del flujo sanguíneo desde el lumen de la aorta hasta la media de la pared de la aorta a través de una pequeña fisura en ...

First Reported Case of Chest Varicosities Prior to Permanent Pacemaker Implantation
ABSTRACT Upper chest and shoulder varicosities, although uncommon compared with lower extremity varicosities, are a harbinger of venous obstruction and should expedite the use of contrast venography in patients undergoing cardiac device implantation. We present the first reported case, to our knowledge, of a patient having isolated left upper chest and

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Comparison of reduced models for blood flow using Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin methods
One-dimensional blood flow models take the general form of nonlinear hyperbolic systems but differ greatly in their formulation. One class of models considers the physically conserved quantities of mass and momentum, while another class describes mass ...
