CONGENITAL ATRESIA OF THE OSTIUM OF THE LEFT CORONARY ARTERY. DIAGNOSTIC DIFFICULTY AND SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL REVASCULARIZATION IN TWO PATIENTS

Congenital atresia of the ostium of the left coronary artery. Diagnostic difficulty and successful surgical revascularization in two patients

We report two cases of congenital atresia of the ostium of the left coronary artery.Case 1: a six-month-old infant presenting with serious cardiac insufficiency.A noninvasive diagnosis of dilated myocardiopathy was established and the clinical picture was pharmacologically compensated.When the patient was nine months of age, a hemodynamic study was

Conservation Voltage Reduction Strategy for Autonomous Microgrid with Improved Voltage-CurrentDroop-Based Inverter Control Framework

In a conventional AC distribution system, the conservation voltage reduction (CVR) strategy is widely employed to lower down the voltage of specific load to lower the power consumption.The wide applicability of demand side management (DSM) using CVR in a stand-alone microgrid through VSI-based energy sources is a thrust area, that is, not examined

Parasitic nematode fatty acid- and retinol-binding proteins compromise host immunity by interfering with host lipid signaling pathways.

Parasitic nematodes cause significant morbidity and mortality globally.Excretory/secretory products (ESPs) such as fatty acid- and retinol- binding proteins (FARs) are hypothesized to suppress host immunity during nematode infection, yet little is known about their interactions with host tissues.Leveraging the insect parasitic nematode, Steinernema
