Gender and Aortic Stenosis $96.59 Aortic stenosis (AS) has become the most frequent valve disease and has extensively been studied in recent years. Although gender differences have gained increasing attention in cardiolgy, little is known about gender differences in presentation and surgical outcome of AS so far.In 408 consecutive pts. referred to surgery because of symptomatic AS baseline clinical and echocardiographic data as well as outcome data were analyzed with regard to potential gender differences. At presentation, female pts. were significantly older (73.7 9.3 vs. 66.5 11.5 years; p Author: Fuchs, Christina Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 60 Publication Date: 2008/07/01 Language: English Dimensions: 9.00 x 6.00 x 0.12 inches |

Pyloric Stenosis $63.73 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pyloric stenosis (or infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis) is a condition that causes severe vomiting in the first few months of life. There is narrowing (stenosis) of the opening from the stomach to the intestines, due to enlargement (hypertrophy) of the muscle surrounding this opening (the pylorus, meaning gate ), which spasms when the stomach empties. It is uncertain whether there is a real congenital narrowing or whether there is a functional hypertrophy of the muscle which develops in the first few weeks of life. Pyloric stenosis also occurs in adults where the cause is usually a narrowed pylorus due to scarring from chronic peptic ulceration. This is a different condition from the infantile form.

Aortic Aneurysm $63.73 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An aortic aneurysm is a general term for any swelling of the aorta, usually representing an underlying weakness in the wall of the aorta at that location. While the stretched vessel may occasionally cause discomfort, a greater concern is the risk of rupture, which causes severe pain; massive internal hemorrhage; and, without prompt treatment, results in a quick death.

The Carotid and Supra-Aortic Trunks: Diagnosis, Angioplasty and Stenting $179.99 Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting (CAS) is a new approach to treat a carotid stenosis.   This new book provides interventional cardiologists, both as beginners or fully experienced, with a reference on all aspects of angioplasty and stenting of the carotid and supra-aortic trunks. Focusing on both the entire range of angioplasty and stenting treatment options for the surgeon treating patients on the operating table, and the range of radiological techniques used for the cardiologist to diagnose carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and associated conditions, this important book describes the best indications, the different techniques, the results, and also the limitations of CAS based on randomized studies and particularly the last published data (CREST study). Suitable for both novice and experienced interventionalists, it also addresses diagnosis of a carotid stenosis and complications from CAS and how to manage them. |

Aortic Valve $65.33 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The aortic valve is one of the valves of the heart. It is normally tricuspid (with three leaflets), although in 1 of the population it is found to be congenitally bicuspid (two leaflets). It lies between the left ventricle and the aorta. During ventricular systole, pressure rises in the left ventricle. When the pressure in the left ventricle rises above the pressure in the aorta, the aortic valve opens, allowing blood to exit the left ventricle into the aorta. When ventricular systole ends, pressure in the left ventricle rapidly drops. When the pressure in the left ventricle decreases, the aortic pressure forces the aortic valve to close. The closure of the aortic valve contributes the A2 component of the second heart sound (S2). Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Severe Tire Damage $19.19 On their very first live album, Severe Tire Damage, intellectual rockers They Might Be Giants offer a best-of set, which contains mostly radical reworkings of fan favorites. The reason for the emergence of a live album came about when TMBG played a successful radio session for the Spin Radio Network, where the duo was joined by its touring band as well as horn players and a rhythm section. They were so impressed with the results that they almost immediately went back and picked out versions of songs that sounded totally different live when compared to the original studio versions (especially the songs “She’s Actual Size” and “Why Does the Sun Shine?”). Included are the “hits” “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” and “Particle Man,” as well as the brand new track “Doctor Worm.” To prove that they haven’t lost their quirky edge, the album ends with seven unlisted tracks that were written on the spot, in front of their audience. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi Performers: Diana Herold – Vibraphone; Brian Doherty – Drums; Dan Hickey – Drums; Dan Levine – Trombone; Eric Schermerhorn – Guitar; Erik Sanko – Bass; Frank London – Trumpet; Graham Maby – Bass; Hal Cragin – Bass; Jim O’Connor – Trumpet; |

Solemn Sacred Severe $12.78 Tempting as it is to let this album’s perfectly descriptive title, Solemn Sacred Severe, stand as précis for a regular review, we should probably elaborate further upon Griftegård’s debut …if for no other reason than because the Swedish doom band forgot to also use the word “somber.” Let us begin by saying that Griftegård tap unapologetically into the formidable legacy of elder countrymen Candlemass in search of the majestic atmosphere, semi-operatic vocals, and largely religious lyrics adorning epic slogs like opener “Charles Taze Russel” (named after the prominent early 20th century Christian Restorationist minister!), the somewhat repetitive “I Refuse These Ashes!,” and the quite petrifying concluding tandem of “The Mire” and “Drunk with Wormwood.” All of these, needless to say, evoke their imagery from the darker side of Christian ritual and tradition (choirboys Griftegård are not!), and by allying them with the more recent teachings of the funeral doom school, the group’s ponderous pacing further heightens the oppressive, at times almost intolerable feeling of, well, doom, pervading all. Heck, the entirely metal-devoid hymnal “Noah’s Hands” is easily this album’s most uplifting moment (really its only one), and suffice to say that its grandiose, 12-minute (and again aptly named) centerpiece, “Punishment & Ordeal,” will awe as many listeners as it lulls to troubled sleep, drool visibly leaking from the corner of their mouths. Even so, for those who do appreciate extreme but melodic doom, laden with — ahem! — solemnity, sacredness, and severity, Griftegård will be just the sort of penance their souls were yearning for. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi Performers: Jens Gustafsson – Choir, Chorus, Drums; Micael Zetterberg – Choir, Chorus; Niclas Kinnander – Choir, Chorus, Organ; Rickard Larsson – Choir, Chorus; Thomas Ericksson – Choir, Chorus; Ola Blomkvist – Guitar; Per Broddesson – Guitar; Thomas Eriksson – Vocals; Thomas Jansson – Bass |

From Severe to Serene $15.18 LTM’s well-regarded abilities to get comprehensive reissues together continue with the Blue Orchids’ efforts, though this is perhaps one of the craziest quilts the label has yet put together. There are two John Peel sessions from the band’s earliest days and a slew of live cuts from around the same time, but smack dab in the middle is the one EP from Thirst, a semi-interim band led by Martin Bramah in the late ’80s. Still, what matters most of all is the availability of the music, and more than a few obsessives (Fall-inspired or otherwise) who had held onto their crumbling tapes of the original Peel broadcasts were doubtless thrilled at the appearance of this disc. Said radio recordings take up the first seven tracks of the disc, with the first covering the “Work”/”The House That Faded Out” days (the version of the former is really grand, Bramah’s end of song monologue a spot-on rant) and the second selections from their justly legendary Greatest Hits album. Bramah’s singing here is just wonderful, and the takes on “No Looking Back” and “Sun Connection” in particular are stellar. As for the live cuts, while the lack of fidelity is duly noted in the liner notes, the performances are still enjoyable and readily audible. The Thirst cuts do differ from the rest of the material, not least because Una Baines’ keyboards are completely absent, but the easygoing post-punk power of the band and Bramah’s gift for commanding but not overbearing vocals make the songs enjoyable enough additions (though “Let Go” is a bit curious, like an ’80s movie soundtrack party song). The expected exhaustive band history fills out the liner notes with plenty of detail about the group and its releases. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi Performers: Karl Burns – Drums; Martin Bramah – Guitar, Vocals |

Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Diseases $380.76 This book is an uptodate summary of all aspects of aortic disease, written by international experts in their fields, covering diagnostic concepts of all aortic diseases, the most modern therapeutic approaches in various aortic syndromes, the pathogenic origin and the most recent molecular and cellular findings that have revolutionized our present knowledge of aortic diseases. The reader will come to understand the aorta as a functional organ with a complex regulatory system rather than just a major arterial vessel, and will have a better understanding of the prognostic impact of various aortic syndromes, and of the most recent therapeutic concepts for chronic as well as acute aortic pathology. As a unique feature of this book, the aorta is placed in the center of systemic illnesses, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, infectious diseases and connective tissue disorders, storage diseases, trauma and toxic factors; this concept aims to attract the attention of both clinical specialties such as cardiology, radiology and cardiovascular surgery and adjacent areas like pathology and clinical genetics. The book portrays the aorta as an integral part of the cardiovascular system and the entire organism and features the complexity and clinical impact of all major aortic diseases.

Carotid Artery Stenosis $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Carotid stenosis is a narrowing or constriction of the inner surface (lumen) of the carotid artery, usually caused by atherosclerosis .The carotid artery is the large artery whose pulse can be felt on both sides of the neck under the jaw. It starts from the aorta as the common carotid artery, and at the throat it forks into the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. The internal carotid artery supplies the brain, and the external carotid artery supplies the face. This fork is a common site for atherosclerosis, an inflammatory buildup of plaque that can narrow the common or internal artery.

Excerpt: Amlodipine (as besylate , mesylate or maleate ) is a long-acting calcium channel blocker (dihydropyridine class) used as an anti-hypertensive and in the treatment of angina . Like other calcium channel blockers, amlodipine acts by relaxing the smooth muscle in the arterial wall , decreasing total peripheral resistance and hence reducing blood pressure ; in angina it increases blood flow to the heart muscle . Indications Cautions Contraindications Amlodipine causes vasodilatation, which in patients with severe aortic stenosis , can result in reduced cardiac output. There is not absolute consensus about the contraindication, because if the patient has hypertension, his stenosis cannot be very severe, otherwise he would not have sufficient output to allow hypertension.
