Together with indications of left-hemisphere dominance of call perception in mice [65], these studies provide preliminary evidence for similar neuroanatomical and neurophysiological mechanisms mediating the perception of vocalizations in mice and humans.
The 20-m Left-Right-Hop-Test (LRH) provided an indication of left and right leg power and possible right vs. left leg power imbalances [ 35].
Two recent publications within the past year by Trachtenberg et al. (NCT00768066) and Perin et al. (NCT00203203) both reported positive results, with some indication of left ventricular functional improvement using Helix and Myostar, respectively.
Yen and colleagues also noted that approximately 14% of embryos injected with either 250 μM or 500 μM solution of bbs7 morpholino displayed defects in cardiac jogging: the first morphologically observable indication of left-right patterning [ 60].
All echocardiograms examined were part of a specific echocardiographic protocol that is performed as a local standard of care for typical postoperative indications, including evaluation of left and right ventricular function, hypotension, pulmonary edema, diagnosis of pericardial effusion, suspected valvular disease and refractory hypoxia.
Clinical indications for left hand or wrist radiographs included suspicion of fracture, luxation, foreign body or arthritis.
The employed image features provide indications of asymmetry between left and right breast regions that are encountered when a tumor is locally recruiting blood vessels on one side, leading to a change in the captured temperature distribution.
There was no correlation between pre-op ET levels and indication for surgery, degree of left ventricular function or preoperative mortality risk score.
In each patient, the precise indication(s) for performing an echocardiogram was recorded (e.g. evaluation of left ventricular systolic function, pericardial effusion, acute valvular regurgitation, etc).
In the conservative group, eight (21%) had indications for urgent surgery (mean time of 6.5 days after random assignment), and 22 (56%) had elective surgery after 2 weeks because of left ventricular dysfunction.
