False tendons (FT) are fibrous or fibromuscular structures which cross the ventricular cavity with no connections with valvular leaflets. They were considered for a long time as normal structures but now cardiologists are interested because of the possible association with the so-called innocent
Left ventricular false aneurysm, also known as pseudoaneurysm, is a rare and highly morbid pathology. It most commonly presents as a complication of myocardial infarction (MI). It occurs when an ischemic left ventricular free wall rupture (due to acute infarction) is contained as a hematoma
Abdominal actinomycosis is an unusual peritoneal disease due to actinomyces, which are Gram-positive bacillus bacteria. Those saprophytes pathogens of digestive tract and genital mucous, can appear accidentally in the peritoneum cavity, in tumor form, simulating a neoplasic disease. We report the
Acute pseudobstruction of the large intestine is also termed the "Ogilvie" syndrome. The life- threatening condition without obvious mecha nical obstruction of the intestine, results from a major enlargement of the large intestine, which, if no therapy is initiated on time, may result in perforation
BACKGROUND
The false tendons (FTs) are fibromuscular bands that transverse the left ventricular cavity and often contain conduction tissue, suggesting that FTs may contribute to the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias. The presence of J waves is associated with vulnerability to ventricular
Determining the function of proteins is a problem with immense practical impact on the identification of inhibition targets and the causes of side effects. Unfortunately, experimental determination of protein function is expensive and time consuming. For this reason, algorithms for computational
The presence of false tendons (FT) was sought with M-mode and 2-D echocardiography in a consecutive series of 316 patients with a wide age range (13-73 yrs). FT were observed in 13 patients (4.1%), all of them in the left ventricular cavity. Their clinical significance is pointed out together with
Left ventricular (LV) false tendons are usually benign, intraventricular myocardial structures, which may cause functional malfunction or deformation of the LV cavity due to mechanical stretching and dilatation of the LV wall. We present a case of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy complicated with
Introduction Choanal atresia (CA) is a challenging surgical problem defined as a failure in the development of communication between the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. Objective The objective of this study is to describe computed tomography (CT) findings in cases with bilateral choanal atresia.
