  • New insights into the biology of theropod dinosaurs

    Creator:
    Quick, Devon E.
    Abstract:
    There is little, if any, direct fossil evidence of the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive or digestive biology of dinosaurs. However, a variety of data can be used to draw reasonable inferences about the physiology of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda). Extant archosaurs, birds and crocodilians, possess regionally differentiated, vascularized and...

  • Cardiovascular disease risk in adults with mental retardation and Down syndrome

    Creator:
    Draheim, Christopher Charles
    Abstract:
    Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have less atherosclerosis than others with and without mental retardation (MR). Why individuals with DS do not develop atherosclerosis similarly to others is not known. The insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), a common neuroendocrine disorder underlying cardiovascular disease, has not been investigated in adults with DS...

  • Deformation imaging

    Creator:
    Margiocco, Marco L.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in the field of clinical echocardiography allow the ultrasonographer to objectively quantify both regional and global myocardial function. Regional deformation (Strain) and deformation rate (Strain Rate) are novel indices of ventricular function that can be estimated non-invasively by ultrasonographic interrogation of the heart. Deformation Imaging (DI)represents a family...
