Right ventricular hypertrophy and hpertrabeculation misdiagnosed as a right ventricular mass on echocardiography

Isolated right ventricle (RV) hypertrophy, anomalous muscle bundles, heavy trabeculations, a redundant hypertrophic papillary muscle, and variations in the shape and thickness of the moderator band (MB), with or without RV hypertrophy, may be confused with a cardiac mass on echocardiography.Therefore, multiple off-axis echocardiographic images and

Spatial and temporal biodiversity variations in a high mountain environment: the case of the proglacial margin of the Evettes, Natura 2000 area (Savoie, French Alps)

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the changes in plant cover after the recent glacier retreat, in an alpine environment.The selected study site in Savoie in the French Alps (2502-2509m asl), belonging to the European network Natura 2000, provides favourable conditions for the study due to the flat glacier foreland, wher

No simple dependence between protein evolution rate and the number of protein-protein interactions: only the most prolific interactors tend to evolve slowly

Abstract Background It has been suggested that rates of protein evolution are influenced, to a great extent, by the proportion of Stretch Mark Treatment amino acid residues that are directly involved in protein function.In agreement with this hypothesis, recent work has shown a negative correlation between evolutionary rates and the number of prote

Normal-mode function representation of global 3-D data sets: open-access software for the atmospheric research community

This article presents new software for the analysis of global dynamical fields in (re)analyses, weather forecasts and climate models.A new diagnostic tool, developed within the MODES project, allows one to diagnose properties of balanced and inertio-gravity (IG) circulations across many scales.In particular, the IG spectrum, which has only recently
