[9] Left ventricular free wall rupture almost always results in hemopericardium (the exception being in the scenario where the patient has had prior open heart surgery and has obliterative fibrous ...

What is pericarditis in children? Pericarditis is inflammation or infection of the pericardium. The pericardium is 2 thin membranes that surround the heart. Normally, there is a small amount of fluid ...

The subsequent absorption of the effusion with organization may lead to scarring and calcification, and a possible final evolution with constrictive pericarditis. A response to a trial of anti ...

The clinical diagnosis of acute pericarditis is based on simple criteria: typical chest pain, pericardial friction rub (Figure 2), widespread ST-segment elevation (Figure 3) and pericardial ...

Background Coronary angioscopy (CAS) is a useful modality to assess atherosclerotic changes, but interpretation of the images requires expert knowledge. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) can ...

When the pore size of the fibrous scaffold exceeded 350 µm, additional neovascular-like structures formed within 7 days to counteract the hypoxic conditions in the pore center. Cardiac patches are a ...

“Fibroglandular density” is a term used to describe how much of the breast tissue is dense or fatty. People with dense breasts have more fibrous and glandular tissue and less fatty tissue. People with ...

Biomaterials can be made more biocompatible by adding in components found in pericardial fluid, such as collagen types I, III, and IV, elastin, fibrin, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) (Figure 5). Despite ...

What is dense breast tissue? Breast density is a measure of how much fibrous and glandular tissue (also known as fibroglandular tissue) there is in your breast, as compared to fat tissue. It isn’t ...

Some research suggests that foods high in potassium such as bananas and avocados may help reduce calcification in the arteries. The pericardium is a sac around your heart that provides protection and ...
