Heart failure (HF) is an important cardiovascular disease because of its increasing prevalence, significant morbidity, high mortality, and rapidly expanding health care cost. The number of HF patients is increasing worldwide, and Korea is no exception. There have been marked advances in definition, diagnostic modalities, and treatment of HF over the past four decades. There is continuing effort to improve risk stratification of HF using biomarkers, imaging and genetic testing. Newly developed me

It is shown that for a given p (1<p<or=n), the n-cube network can tolerate up to p2/sup (n-p)/-1 processor failures and remains connected provided that at most p neighbors of any nonfaulty processor are allowed to fail. This generalizes the result for p=n-1, obtained by A.-M Esfahanian (1989). It is also shown that the n-cube network with n>or=5 remains connected provided that at most two neighbors of any processor are allowed to fail.<<ETX>>

Network survivability is a crucial requirement in high-speed optical networks. Typical approaches of providing survivability have considered the failure of a single component such as a link or a node. We motivate the need for considering double-link failures and present three loopback methods for handling such failures. In the first two methods, two edge-disjoint backup paths are computed for each link for rerouting traffic when a pair of links fails. These methods require the identification of

As the commercial success of the IEEE 802.11 protocol has made wireless infrastructure widely deployed, user organizations are increasingly concerned about the new vulnerabilities to their networks. While various security issues have been extensively studied, the threats posed by denial-of-service (DoS) attacks have not been fully exploited. In this paper, we consider DoS attacks posed by cheating on the backoff rules in the IEEE 802.11 DCF protocol and propose a scheme detecting such adversarie

Fault identification and localization problems in optical networks have become crucial. Due to network transparency and high data rates, optical networks are vulnerable to sophisticated attacks on the physical infrastructure, and hence require adequate fault monitoring in order to accurately identify and locate network failures. In transparent optical networks, faults may propagate to various parts of the network from the origin, and multiple alarms can be generated for a single failure. In orde

Myocardial fibrosis in HCM is a progressive phenomenon. Non-apical phenotype and a higher LGE extent at CMR-1 are both associated with greater LGE progression.

Heart failure (HF) is a growing health concern in aging societies worldwide. Sacubitril/valsartan is changing the real-world treatment in the whole spectrum of HF. The beginning was the PARADIGM-HF trial published in 2014, which demonstrated the beneficial effects of inhibiting natriuretic peptide breakdown in combination with hindering the renin-angiotensin system in HF patients with a reduced ejection fraction. Subsequent large-scale randomized trials have evaluated angiotensin receptor-nepril

Postoperative, but not preoperative, IST and concomitant ARR were independent predictors of less development of PVL. Special attention is required for early diagnosis BD-related AR, especially in patients not satisfying the current diagnostic criteria.

Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is versatile; however, it is difficult to obtain. We evaluated the potential of an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated electrocardiography score for LVGLS estimation (ECG-GLS score) to diagnose LV systolic dysfunction and predict prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF). A convolutional neural network-based deep-learning algorithm was trained to estimate the echocardiography-derived GLS (LVGLS). ECG-GLS score performance was evalua

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that mainly involves medium to large sized arteries. Although pulmonary artery involvement is reported with a prevalence of about 10% to 50%, its clinical significance is underestimated. We report here one case of Takayasu's arteritis complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension due to right main pulmonary artery total occlusion.
