Myocardial performance index
No full textMyocardial performance index (MPI) is a numeric value, which could be obtained by using cardiac time intervals. This numeric value is defined as the sum of isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) and isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) divided by ejection time (ET) and could be calculated for each ventricle individually. Myocardial performance index has been invented as a Doppler index of combined systolic and diastolic myocardial performance in patients with primary myocardial systolic dysfunction. Myocardial performance index has prognostic value in various clinical settings seems to be independent of heart rate. In this review, clinical applications of MPI are scrutinized

No full textA New Similarity Measure Based on Falsity Value between Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets Based on the Centroid Points of Transformed Single Valued Neutrosophic Values with Applications to Pattern Recognition
No full textIn this paper, we propose some transfor mations based on the centroid points between single valued neutrosophic numbers. We introduce these trans formations according to truth, indeterminacy and falsity value of single valued neutrosophic numbers. We propose a new similarity measure based on falsity value between single valued neutrosophic sets. Then we prove some properties on new similarity measure based on falsity value between falsity value between single valued neutrosophic sets. Furthermore, we propose similarity measure based on falsity value between single valued neutrosophic sets based on the centroid points of transformed single valued neutrosophic numbers. We also apply the proposed similarity measure between single valued neutrosophic sets to deal with pattern recognition problems

No full textZophohelops montanatolicus sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini: Cylindrinotina), the first representative of this genus in Turkey, is described from south-eastern Anatolia. It is the second species known in the western part of the disjunct distribution range of the genus Zophohelops Reitter, 1902 (South Armenia and Hakkari Mountains; the eastern part covers Tien Shan Mts. and southern Tajikistan). New data about the distribution of Helopocerodes Reitter, 1922, the subgenus of the genus Nalassus Mulsant, 1854, in south-eastern Anatolia are given.Turkish Scientific Research CouncilTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [TUBITAK 112 T 445]; Ege University FoundationEge University [2013 BIL 010]; Russian Foundation for Basic ResearchRussian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) [12-04-00663-a]The authors are much obliged to Denis Kasatkin (Rostov-on-Don) for preparing the photographs, to Ismail Ulucay (Hakkari University, Hakkari) for his help during the collecting trips, to Igor Shokhin (Institute of Aride Zones, Rostov-on-Don) for collecting some of the specimens and to Alexey Solodovnikov (University of Copenhagen), Lubos Purchart (Mendel University, Brno) and Otto Merkl (Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest) for the review and valuable comments.

Effects of coronary collateral vessels in left ventricular segmental motions and myocardial viability using color kinesis dobutamine stress echocardiography
No full textObjective: To detect the functional importance of coronary collaterals, which develop after acute myocardial infarctions (AMI). Methods: Forty patients with acute AMI whose coronary angiography demonstrated a total occlusion of the left anterior descendant (LAD) artery were included in the study, between January 2003 and June 2004. All of the study patients underwent coronary angiography and left ventriculography using standard Judkins techniques (Phillips Integris-3000). Left ventricular (LV) free walls were divided into 5 segments, and all of these segments motions were evaluated then LV free wall motion score index (WMSI) was calculated. The study patients were divided into 2 groups: good (Rentrop 3; group I; n = 14) and poor coronary collateral circulation (Rentrop 0-2; group II; n = 26) according to the Rentrop grading. Then, color kinesis dobutamine stress echocardiography (CK-DSE) was performed to all patients with standard techniques 6 weeks after AMI. Results: There were no significant differences for age, gender, risk factors for the coronary artery disease and use of the fibrinolytic therapy between the groups. There were no significant statistical differences for angiographic WMSI, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume and end-diastolic pressures between the 2 groups. No difference was detected between Group I and II for initial EF, WMSI and peak dose WMSI in CK-DSE procedure. Viability was determined in all of the 14 patients in group I (100%) and 12 of 26 patients in group II (46%) (p=0.03). Conclusion: In early periods of an AMI genesis of the coronary collateral circulation does not affect left ventricular global and regional systolic functions, but increase viability quite significantly. According to our findings early revascularization could be carried out in patients with good coronary collateral circulation without doing any test for viability
