Cardiology in the Young (20)1 2010
Abstract
We describe an infant of 8 months who presented with left ventricular dilation due to an extensive intralobar sequestration of the right lung. The pulmonary sequestration was associated with a patent arterial duct and a right aortic arch. Percutaneous closure of the anomalous aberrant artery feeding...

Abstract
The DRS provides a safe effective system for imaging the equine URT during ridden exercise at speed. The abnormalities of the URT identified were similar to those observed during treadmill endoscopy studies reported in the literature. The effect of URT abnormalities on ridden speed requires further...

Abstract
This study validates the safety and the reliability of the DRS for imaging the equine URT during natural exercising conditions. POTENTIAL RELEVANCE: Most common causes of DO-URT can be diagnosed easily during any type of performance without a treadmill and the DRS offers a great potential for furthe...

Abstract
Abstract
Forty-eight horses that underwent thermal cautery and 30 conservatively treated controls were included. Pretreatment earnings significantly decreased in the race immediately prior to diagnosis. A high proportion of previously raced horses returned to racing after both treatments (90-96%). Intrahorse...

Abstract
Twenty-two patients (78.6%) survived. Of these, 15 required NO (NO-s), and seven did not (non-NO-s). All six patients that died required NO (NO-d). RPA in the NO-d group was significantly smaller than in the NO-s or non-NO-s groups on day 0 (2.90 +/- 0.41 vs. 3.40 +/- 0.49 or 4.01 +/- 0.43; P < 0.01...

Abstract
Dynamic collapse of the upper respiratory tract (URT) is a common cause of poor performance in horses. These conditions occur predominantly during strenuous exercise when the URT is unable to maintain dilation in the face of high inspiratory pressures. In most cases, these disorders cannot be accura...

Abstract
We describe an unusual appearance seen on a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan in a woman with pulmonary hypertension. Although the pulmonary hypertension was not caused by pulmonary emboli, the V/Q scan suggested several cardiac anomalies which may lead to pulmonary hypertension. Most of the cardiac...

We hypothesize that ASM hyperreactivity and its sequelae are based on an early developmental lesion of ASM activity in hypoplastic lung. Sprague-Dawley rats were fed 100 mg nitrofen on Day 9.5 of pregnancy to induce lung hypoplasia in offspring (controls had vehicle alone). Normal and hypoplastic lu...
