Point-of-Care Ultrasound Facilitated Detection of Femoral Occlusive Septic Emboli During Mitral Valve Surgery: A Case Report.

Acute lower extremity ischemia from septic emboli is a surgical emergency. Timely diagnosis and management are critical to improve patient outcome. However, traditional diagnostic modalities such as intraoperative angiogram are time-consuming, require special equipment and personnel, and introduce contrast exposure for critically ill patients.

Right Ventricular Hemangioma in the Outflow Tract: A Rare Cause of Obstruction.

We present a patient with a right ventricular hemangioma and symptomatic right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Slope walking causes short-term changes in soleus H-reflex excitability.

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that downslope treadmill walking decreases spinal excitability. Soleus H-reflexes were measured in sixteen adults on 3 days. Measurements were taken before and twice after 20 min of treadmill walking at 2.
