Gendered Actions with a Genderless Robot: Gender Attribution to Humanoid Robots in Action.

The present study aims to investigate how gender stereotypes affect people's gender attribution to robots. To this end, we examined whether a robot can be assigned a gender depending on a performed action. The study consists of 3 stages.

Early and Mid-Term Follow-Up Results After Transcatheter Closure of Secundum Atrial Septal Defect.

Objective: Transcatheter secundum type atrial septal defect closure is an alternative to surgical closure in many cases when conditions are appropriate. In this study, the demographic data and follow-up results of patients with secundum atrial septal defect undergoing transcatheter closure were discussed.

Materials And Methods: Data of patients who underwent transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defect between 2004 and 2017 were investigated retrospectively.

Percutaneous closure of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after transcatheter ventricular septal defect closure.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is very rare in children. Although surgery is conventional treatment, recently, percutaneous closure of pseudoaneurysms has been described. Here, we present the first case where a patient developed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous ventricular septal defect device closure and was treated by a second percutaneous method.

Incidentally detected small fistula flows in pulmonary artery by colour Doppler: echocardiographic findings and follow-up results.

Abnormal small fistulous flows in the pulmonary artery were detected on routine transthoracic echocardiography in asymptomatic patients by colour Doppler echocardiography. The most likely diagnosis is small coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistulas. We evaluated the clinical, echocardiographic, and follow-up findings of 101 patients.
