Background: Intraoral radiography remains the most widely employed dental radiographic technique for producing geometrically accurate images with minimal distortion and magnification. Despite its common use in the dental office, incorrect projection geometry can be challenging leading to image distortions. To mitigate these inaccuracies specific radiographic landmarks on the face are utilized during periapical radiography.

Article Synopsis
  • The case report discusses a rare coexistence of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) in a 47-year-old female patient, presenting unique diagnostic and treatment challenges.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms like difficulty breathing and cyanosis, and imaging confirmed both RHD and multiple PAVMs in her left lung, leading to a customized treatment plan.
  • The report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing patients with overlapping cardiac and pulmonary conditions, highlighting the importance of individualized care for better patient outcomes.

: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) stands as one of the most catastrophic occurrences in the progression of coronary artery disease. Measuring QT dispersion (QTd) is a fairly straightforward and noninvasive technique for predicting mortality in patients at high risk following a myocardial infarction (MI). : To measure the QT, corrected QT interval (QTc), QTd, and corrected QT dispersion (QTcd) intervals before and after thrombolysis in patients with AMI and to determine prognostic implications of QTd in AMI.

Unlabelled: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents one of the catastrophic events in the natural history of CAD. Early mortality is attributed to arrhythmic events, mainly VT/VF. Ventricular repolarization time varies for different cells located in diverse regions of the left ventricle, resulting in a regional heterogeneity of repolarization time, which in turn causes QT interval dispersion in various leads of ECG.
