The exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) non-saccular aneurysms, such as fusiform aneurysms ... bolus-tracking method with a monitoring section placed in the ascending aorta once the CT attenuation ...

Each woman suffered the same rare heart disease, but at different times and with different surgeries, one more complicated ...

We present evidence that expertise recruits the fusiform gyrus 'face area'. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure changes associated with increasing expertise in brain ...

Functional imaging has revealed face-responsive visual areas in the human fusiform gyrus ... of the entire brain volume (48 transverse, ascending slices, 3 × 3 × 3 mm; TR = 4.1 s; TE = 40 ...

Due to the sudden rupture of the aortic wall, aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate ...

6. Rapid aortic root growth or ascending aortic aneurysm growth, an indication for intervention, is defined as ≥0.5 cm in 1 year or ≥0.3 cm per year in 2 consecutive years for those with sporadic ...

The fusiform gyrus, a part of the brain involved in facial recognition, works closely with the superior temporal sulcus to decode expressions — helping us gauge intention as much as emotion.

HEMASHIELD PLATINUM Woven Double Velour Grafts are collagen-impregnated and come in straight, one-branch, or multi-branch graft configurations for aortic repair. Trusted for more than 20 years ...

Findings emphasize the distinct nature of sporadic aortic aneurysm biology and identify new genetic targets for future investigation. To this end, we performed single nucleus RNA sequencing of 71 689 ...

In other words, the aortic valve narrows and cannot open all the way. Since the aortic valve regulates the blood flow between the aorta and the left ventricle, this restricted blood flow causes ...

Abstract: Pressure and flow distributions are reported at different steady flows for four latex fusiform aneurysm models. The accuracy of results by pitot-static techniques is examined in terms of ...
