Epilepsy and Hearing Loss in a Patient with a Rare Heterozygous Variant in the Gene.

The calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1 H () is a gene present in eukaryotic cells located on chromosome 16 that encodes the T-type calcium channels, which are important for calcium influx and depolarization of cells. Pathogenic variants in cause autosomal dominant susceptibility to idiopathic generalized epilepsy 6 (OMIM: 611942), which is a broad term that encompasses several common seizure phenotypes. In this article, we reported a Saudi female with a heterozygous variant in the gene (OMIM: 607904) who had epilepsy and hearing loss.

Late Complications After Previous Surgical Repair for Coarctation With Extra-Anatomic Bypass Graft: Report on Two Cases.

Surgical correction of aortic coarctation (CoA) has been the standard treatment in infants and adolescents to prevent late consequences related to obstruction and distal hypoperfusion. Several surgical techniques for CoA repair have traditionally been applied. However, late complications, including re-CoA and pseudoaneurysm formation, are not uncommon.

Impact of Quran in Treatment of the Psychological Disorder and Spiritual Illness.

This paper studies the effect of Quranic therapy on psychological diseases and spiritual diseases. The experiments have been conducted on a random sample with 121 patients from both genders. The procedures that have been followed were different sessions with the patients, who were given some verses from the Holy Quran to listen within a specific period of time.

Valvular aortic stenosis as a major sequelae in patients with pre-existing subaortic stenosis changing spectrum of outcomes.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of valvular aortic stenosis requiring surgery in patients with a pre-existing diagnosis of subaortic stenosis.

Background: Classic teachings emphasize aortic regurgitation as the most common complication associated with discrete subaortic stenosis. We hypothesized that significant aortic stenosis may also be an important valve lesion associated with this condition.

Cardiac Imaging Integration in 2009 and Beyond: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently well recognized in clinical practice for the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. CMR is helpful in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction. The high spatial resolution of CMR enables accurate assessment of tissue characterization in various types of cardiomyopathy.

Exercise capacity and biventricular function in adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.

Background: Adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) often have diminished exercise capacity. The primary objective of this study was to examine whether abnormalities of biventricular function play a role in exercise limitation in patients with rTOF.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of 99 adult patients with rTOF.

Comparison of echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for assessing right ventricular function in adults with repaired tetralogy of fallot.

Adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot and significant chronic pulmonary regurgitation are at risk for progressive right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction. The assessment of RV function is important in the management in these patients. There is still a lack of an adequate geometric model to quantify RV function by echocardiography.
