HEART MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTION EVALUATION BY TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN SIX CAPTIVE CRESTED GIBBONS (NOMASCUS SPP.)

Heart morphology and function evaluation by transthoracic echocardiography in six captive crested gibbons (Nomascus spp.)

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in captive apes.Transthoracic echocardiography is the most comprehensive cardiovascular imaging 36x12x24 wall cabinet technique used to diagnose and monitor cardiopathies in mammals.However, there are currently no baseline data of heart morphology and function in hylob

Paradoxical cerebral embolism three decades after mustard surgery in a patient with complete transposition of the great arteries: a case report

Atrial switch procedures such as the Mustard operation were previously popular for the complete transposition of the great arteries (i.e.dextro-transposition of the great arteries [d-TGA]).Patients with d-TGA who underwent atrial switch procedures approximately three decades ago have now entered adulthood.A female patient in her 30s with d-TGA had

Brain Health Indicators Following Acute Neuro-Exergaming: Biomarker and Cognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) after Pedal-n-Play (iPACES)

Facing an unrelenting rise in dementia cases worldwide, researchers are exploring non-pharmacological junk baller band ways to ameliorate cognitive decline in later life.Twenty older adults completed assessments before and after a single bout of interactive physical and cognitive exercise, by playing a neuro-exergame that required pedaling and stee

Cyclic Extrusion Compression Process for Achieving Ultrafine-Grained 5052 Aluminum Alloy with Eminent Strength and Wear Resistance

Previous studies have yet to show a consistent effect of severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing on the wear behavior of different metals and alloys.To fill this scientific gap, this study investigated the effect of the cyclic extrusion compression (CEC) process, as one of the prominent SPD techniques, on the wear behavior of AA5052.In addition
