Innocent heart murmurs in adults by Sics Editore Pdf

Innocent murmurs include murmurs of physiological origin occasionally murmurs originating from haemodynamically insignificant cardiac defects. Innocent murmurs caused by accelerated blood flow are common in young adults. Fever, anaemia, tachycardia and a thin or flat chest wall may intensify flow sounds making them resemble a murmur of a valvular disease. Innocent nature of the murmur is suggested by the following features: short early systolic or mid-systolic murmur, grade 1–2 point of maximum intensity beside the sternum on the left systolic ejection murmur in the pulmonary valve auscultation area normal S2 (not constantly split) no other abnormalities on auscultation good performance status, no left ventricular hypertrophy or dilatation (ECG, chest x-ray). A murmur must not be considered innocent until the patient has undergone thorough investigation. If necessary, an echocardiography should be carried out to confirm diagnosis. Diastolic murmurs always originate from an organic abnormality which may, nevertheless, be haemodynamically insignificant.

Congenital Heart Disease by P. Syamasundar Rao Pdf

There are significant advances in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cardiac development and the etiology of congenital heart disease (CHD). However, these have not yet evolved to such a degree so as to be useful in preventing CHD at this time. Developments such as early detection of the neonates with serious heart disease and their rapid transport to tertiary care centers, availability of highly sensitive noninvasive diagnostic tools, advances in neonatal care and anesthesia, progress in transcatheter interventional procedures and extension of complicated surgical procedures to the neonate and infant have advanced to such a degree that almost all congenital cardiac defects can be diagnosed and "corrected". Treatment of the majority of acyanotic and simpler cyanotic heart defects with currently available transcatheter and surgical techniques is feasible, effective and safe. The application of staged total cavo-pulmonary connection (Fontan) has markedly improved the long-term outlook of children who have one functioning ventricle. This book, I hope, will serve as a rich source of information to the physician caring for infants, children and adults with CHD which may help them provide optimal care for their patients.

Agape and Bhakti with Bataille and Mark at Loyola and St. Francis by David L. Goicoechea Pdf

David L. Goicoechea presents his fourth volume in a series on agape. The book focuses on the complementarity of agape (Christian love) and bhakti (Hindu love). First, he shows how the Jesuit Spirituality at Loyola in Chicago and the Franciscan Spirituality at St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois, helped him to appreciate mystical love. Secondly, he shows how agape with all nine of its characteristics is central to the Gospel of Mark. Then, especially with the help of the work of Dr. Raj Singh, he shows how bhakti developed throughout the history of India. Finally, Goicoechea shows how Georges Bataille, especially with the help of St. John of the Cross, looks deeply into the Inner Experience of the Mystical Ways.
