Treatment of Midline Deviation with Miniscrews: A Case Report.

A 15-year-old female presented with the chief complaint of crowding. Extraoral examination revealed little facial asymmetry, which was related with mandibular deviation caused by constriction of the maxilla. Upon intraoral examination, Class III molar and Class II canine relationships were seen on the right side, and Class III molar and Class III canine relationships were seen on the left side.

Contractility evaluation by 2 dimensional echocardiography and gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in hypertensive patients with clinical presentation of atypical chest pain.

Background: Hypertension (HT) is a growing health problem in the population and associated with increased cardiovascular event risk and mortality. In hypertensive patients, progressive left ventricular (LV) contractility deterioration is detectable by gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion scintigraphy9. We planned this study to explore the agreement in ejection fraction (EF) determination between 2 dimensional echocardiography and gated SPECT analysis in selected group of patients with hypertension.
