Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy —Septal Perforator Arteries Doppler Flow Dynamics
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have been shown to exhibit abnormal diastolic vessel flow; however, flow pattern profiles and their possible association with different grades of diastolic dysfunction have not been studied. Color Doppler 2D echocardiography permits visualization of the septal perforator arteries, and pulsed-wave Doppler allows recording of diastolic septal artery flow (SAF). Through routine visualization of the septal perforator arteries and acquisition of SAF, we noticed three patterns of SAF in patients with HCM.

Sigmoid volvulus secondary to undescended testicle: Report of first case in the literatures
A man with volvulus. AbstractSigmoid volvulus accounts for 20% –50% of colonic obstructions in Eastern countries. This occurs mostly in patients with a lack of mobility and a history of chronic constipation. There are some very known complications of a undescended intra-abdominal testicle such as cancer, ischemia, and infertility; But the rotation of the colo n around the spermatic cord of one UDT is a very rare phenomenon that there is no similar report. A 67-year-old man came to the emergency department with a complaint of abdominal pain and obstipation. On examination, patient was febrile (T: 38.5) and had mild genera...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmerging countries are at the frontier of climate change actions, and carbon emissions accounting provides a quantifiable measure of the environmental impact of economic activities, which allows for comparisons of emissions across different entities. However, currently there is no study covering detailed emissions inventories for emerging countries in Central Asian. This paper compiles detailed and accurate carbon emissions inventories in several Central Asian countries (i.e., Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Palestine, ...

Age-Based Outcomes in Patients Who Underwent Septal Reduction Therapy
There are no national data on age-based outcomes of septal reduction therapy. Using the National Inpatient Sample, we included all adult patients who underwent septal myectomy (SM) or alcohol septal ablation (ASA) from 2005 to 2019. The primary objective was to evaluate the in-hospital mortality and new permanent pacemaker (PPM) placement after SM and ASA in 3 age groups. In total, 9,564 patients underwent SM and 5,084 underwent ASA. Compared with the age group 18 to 39 years, the odds of in-hospital mortality after SM were similar in age group 40 to 64 years and 4.46 times higher than in age group ≥65 years; the hig...
