BILATERAL OCCIPITAL LOBE INFARCTION WITH ALTITUDINAL FIELD LOSS FOLLOWING RADIOFREQUENCY CARDIAC CATHETER ABLATION

Bilateral occipital lobe infarction with altitudinal field loss following radiofrequency cardiac catheter ablation

Abstract Background Bilateral stroke following radiofrequency catheter ablation is an unusual complication and may result in bilateral altitudinal visual field defects.Bilateral altitudinal visual field defects usually result from prechiasmal pathology causing damage to both retinas or optic nerves and rarely from bilateral symmetric damage to the

The pathogenesis of bullous skin diseases

Bullous skin diseases are a group of dermatoses characterized by blisters and 2 lb m&m bag bullae in the skin and mucous membranes.The etiology and pathogenesis of bullous skin diseases are not completely clear.The most common are pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid (BP).Autoantibodies play critical roles in their pathogenesis.Abnormalities in the adh

Paths of interactive cracks in creep conditions

The paper contains plane strain analysis of uniformly stretched plate working in creep condition.The plate contains initial defects in forms of central and/or edge cracks working in mode I.These cracks are modelled by attributing critical value of damage parameter to preset points and therefore resulting in stresses set to zero (material does not s
