Abstract

Right ventricular regional contractility has been thought to be difficult to assess precisely. Cine magnetic resonance imaging with presaturation myocardial tagging was employed to quantitate the contraction of the right ventricular free wall and to identify normal performance compared with the left ventricle. Nine normal volunteers, aged 27-39 years, were examined in a 1.5 Tesla superconductive magnet, and short axis and four-chamber sections at the mid-ventricular level were imaged with cine magnetic resonance sequences. Tags, applied at end diastole as two parallel black lines, intersected the mid-portion of the free wall, dividing it into upper, centre, and lower segments in the short axis section, and anterior, middle, and posterior segments in the four-chamber section. From a series of cine magnetic resonance images at 50 ms intervals over a cardiac cycle, end diastolic, and early, mid-, and end systolic images were chosen for calculation of the endocardial, epicardial, and mean percent fractional shortening (%FS) in the six segments. There was (1) a gradual increase in %FS in systole in both sections (P < 0.001, < 0.005); (2) a poor transmural gradient of contractility; (3) a predominance of meridional shortening (whole ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.
