AN UNUSUAL CAUSE OF HYPOXIA: VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT, PULMONARY ARTERY ATRESIA, AND MAJOR AORTOPULMONARY COLLATERALS DIAGNOSED IN THE ADULT CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LAB

The association of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect (VSD) and major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCA) is an Bun extreme form of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).It carries a high mortality risk if not intervened on during infancy with only 20% of unoperated patients surviving into adulthood.We present the case of a 40-year-old man who present

Abstract Background With the increased use of ploidy manipulation in aquaculture and fisheries management this investigation aimed to determine whether triploidy influences culturable intestinal microbiota composition and bacterial drug resistance in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).The results could provide answers to some of the physiological differ

In the recent years, the biogas industry is rapidly growing, but the sector has been affected by several major accidents related to its supply chain, which pointed out the need to perform a detailed process safety analysis.Hazards and operability analysis (HazOp) is one of the most used and efficient technique for the identification of potential ac

This paper investigates the Lyapunov characterizations of input-to-output stability (IOS) and input-to-state stability (ISS) for nonlinear switched systems.The restriction on the negativity of derivatives of Lyapunov functions is relaxed; additionally, subsystems are not restricted to be ISS/IOS throughout the state space.These problems are overcom
