AI Article Synopsis
- Continuous wave Doppler echocardiography was employed to evaluate the role of left atrial systole on left ventricular performance in 31 patients with isolated mitral stenosis.
- Patients were categorized into two groups: 14 with mild stenosis contributing 24% of cardiac output from atrial systole, and 17 with severe stenosis contributing only 15%.
- The findings highlight the significance of assessing atrial impact on heart function in mitral stenosis patients using continuous wave Doppler echocardiography.
Article Abstract
Continuous wave Doppler echocardiography was used to assess the hemodynamic role of left atrial systole and its effect on left ventricular performance in 31 patients with isolated mitral stenosis. Fourteen of the patients had mild stenosis, whereas the remaining 17 had severe stenosis. The contribution of atrial systole to the cardiac output was 24% in the patients with mild stenosis and 15% in those with severe stenosis (p less than 0.01). This study reveals the importance of continuous wave Doppler echocardiography in assessing the atrial influence on left ventricular performance in patients with mitral stenosis.

Solution-processed semiconductor lasers are next-generation light sources for large-scale, bio-compatible and integrated photonics. However, overcoming their performance-cost trade-off to rival III-V laser functionalities is a long-standing challenge. Here, we demonstrate room-temperature continuous-wave perovskite polariton lasers exhibiting remarkably low thresholds of ~0.

Background: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is being increasingly utilized to visualize the brain areas involved in cognitive activity to understand the human brain better. Its portability and easy setup give it an advantage over other functional brain imaging tools. The current study utilizes fNIRS while performing a Stroop test, which is commonly used to assess the impairment of information selection in depression.

The precise patterning of elastic semiconductors holds encouraging prospects for unlocking functionalities and broadening the scope of optoelectronic applications. Here, perovskite films with notable elasticity capable of stretching over 250% are successfully fabricated by using a continuous-wave (CW) laser-patterning technique. Under CW laser irradiation, perovskite nanoparticles (NPs) undergo meticulous crystallization within the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix, which yields the capability of an unparalleled stretch behavior.

Introduction: Epileptic encephalopathy (EE) is a serious clinical issue that manifests as part of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), particularly in childhood epilepsy. In EE, neurocognitive functions and behavior are impaired by intense epileptiform electroencephalogram (EEG) activity. Hypotheses of pathophysiological mechanisms behind EE are reviewed to contribute to an effective solution for EE.

ConspectusPhotochemical reactions have always been the source of a great deal of mystery. While classified as a type of chemical reaction, no doubts are allowed that the general tenets of ground-state chemistry do not directly apply to photochemical reactions. For a typical chemical reaction, understanding the critical points of the ground-state potential (free) energy surface and embedding them in a thermodynamics framework is often enough to infer reaction yields or characteristic time scales.
