The angle of the components of the common atrioventricular valve predicts the outcome of surgical correction in patients with atrioventricular septal defect and common atrioventricular junction
No full textBackground: Three-dimensional echocardiography offers new insights into valvar function in atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). The aim of this study was to identify a morphological marker to predict the functional outcomes of left atrioventricular valves (AVVs) following the repair of AVSDs.Methods: Twenty-nine consecutive patients were evaluated preoperatively using 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional echocardiography. The angle of the AVV relative to the crux of the heart was measured in multiplanar review mode.Results: The severity of postoperative left AVV regurgitation was correlated with preoperative valvar angle, being more acute in patients with moderate or severe regurgitation (mean, 57 ± 13° vs 83 ± 9° in patients with no or mild regurgitation; P = .002). Angles ? 59° predicted severe regurgitation with 79% specificity.Conclusions: Multiplanar review of 3-dimensional data sets is valuable for the assessment of the functional morphology of AVSD valves. Using this technique, more acute AVV angles predicted increased likelihood of severe regurgitation following surgical repair.<br/

Type locality. Gulf of Mannar, Eastern India, Indian Ocean. Description. Based on male, 5.4 mm. Head. Lateral cephalic lobes truncate, anteroventral margin moderately recessed, anteroventral corner with small tooth, eyes present, oval shaped. Antenna 1 longer than antenna 2; flagellum with 19 articles; accessory flagellum with 6 articles, the terminal article rudimentary. Antenna 2 peduncle article 4 subequal to article 5; flagellum with 8 articles. Upper lip ventral margin slightly excavated. Lower lip outer lobe covered by long fine setae. Mandible incisors with 6 teeth, lacinia mobilis present with 3 teeth; setal row with 6 setae; mandibular palp articles 1–3 ratio 1: 1.3: 2, article 2 sparsely setose, article 3 slightly falcate, inner margin with 10 long plumose setae and 24 short bifid plumose setae. Maxilla 1 inner plate small with single long plumose setae; palp article 2 with 8 terminal robust setae. Pereon. Pereonites 1–4 bearing 4 sternal processes, sternal spines not bifid. Gnathopod 1 larger than gnathopod 2, subchelate, coxa subrectangular, poorly setose; basis robust, 2 × as long as broad, anterior margin straight, mediofacial excavated; ischium rectangular; merus posterodistally produced into a tooth; carpus shorter than propodus, subtriangular, posterodistally produced; propodus robust, posterodistal margin sparsely setose, palm oblique with a deep excavation and subrectangular serrated distomedial edge; dactylus overlapping palm. Gnathopod 2 subchelate, coxa rounded; basis slender, much less than half as broad as long, with anterodistal tooth; ischium smooth; carpus longer than propodus; palm oblique with a defining robust seta; dactylus overlapping palm. Pereopod 3 and 4 similar, basis smooth; merus weakly setiferous; dactylus shorter than propodus.

Bemlos quadrimanus material studied herein resembles specimens from other populations from Indian, Africa and Australia. However, it differs from those specimens in its gnathopod 2 dactylus which is exceeding the palm and the mandibular palp ratios of articles 1–3 1: 1.3: 2 (vs. 1: 2: 3 in the original description). It also shows the following differences from the original description: antenna 2 article 4 subequal to article 5 (vs. shorter), female gnathopod 1 merus and carpus venterodistally produced (vs. unproduced) and uropod 1 peduncle shorter than rami (vs. subequal). Other morphological differences are concluded into Table 1. On the basis of morphology we cannot decide if our material belongs to a separate species or if the small differences are in the range of a normal variability. Distribution.

A multiplanar three dimensional echocardiographic study of mitral valvar annular function in children with normal and regurgitant valves
No full textIntroduction - The mitral valvar complex is difficult to visualise accurately in only two dimensions. Three-dimensional echocardiography gives new insight into the dynamic changes of intra-cardiac structures during the cardiac cycle. The aim of this study was to study the mitral annulus in systole and diastole in normal children using three-dimensional echocardiography, and to analyse the effect of regurgitation on annular function.Materials and methods - Three-dimensional echocardiographic datasets, acquired in 11 consecutive subjects with mitral regurgitation, and 20 normal subjects, were analysed offline using simultaneous multiplanar review.Results - The mitral valvar annular area decreased in diastole, and increased in systole, in both groups. The annulus in patients with mitral regurgitation is dilated compared to normal subjects, the systolic value for those with regurgitation having a mean of 6.79 plus or minus 2.55 centimetres2/metres2, and the diastolic value a mean of 5.01 plus or minus 1.78 centimetres2/metres2, as opposed to a systolic mean value of 5.28 centimetres2/metres2 plus or minus 1.68, p = 0.091, and diastolic mean value of 3.05 centimetres2/metres2 plus or minus 0.90, in normal subjects (p less than 0.0001). The proportional change in mitral valvar annular area from systole to diastole showed a trend towards being smaller in those with mitral regurgitation, although this did not reach significance (24.8% versus 41.13%, p equal to 0.249). Analysis of subgroups of patients with moderate or severe mitral regurgitation showed mitral excursion, expressed as percentage of left ventricular length, to be significantly less than in normal subjects, at 12.78 plus or minus 5.10% versus 15.84 plus or minus 4.23% (p equal to 0.012).Conclusions - Mitral valvar annular area in children decreases in diastole, and increases in systole. In those with mitral regurgitation, the annulus is dilated and the dynamic annular function is depressed.<br/
