The procedure is known as aortography . The diagnosis of aortic dissection can be made by visualization of the intimal flap and flow of contrast material in both the true lumen and the false lumen. The aortogram was previously considered the gold standard test gold standard test for the diagnosis of aortic dissection, with a sensitivity of up to 88 and a specificity of about 94 . It is especially poor in the diagnosis of cases where the dissection is due to hemorrhage within the media without any initiating intimal tear. The advantage of the aortogram in the diagnosis of aortic dissection is that it can delineate the extent of involvement of the aorta and branch vessels and can diagnose aortic insufficiency . The disadvantages of the aortogram are that it is an invasive procedure and it requires the use of iodinated contrast material. In modern medicine, it has been replaced by the diagnostic tools of MRI, CT, and transesophageal echocardiography TEE all of which have sensitivities that exceed 90 . TEE is favored in emergent situations, as it is relatively non invasive and a rapid procedure more so than MRI, which can takes hours . references needed External links MeshName Aortography Vascular procedures Medical imaging Category Projectional radiography med diagnostic stub ... more details

Unreferenced date February 2008 for the measure of the ideas expressible in a programming language Expressivity computer science Expressivity is a term used in genetics to refer to variations in a phenotype among individuals carrying a particular genotype . The term can be used to characterize qualitatively or quantitatively the extent of phenotypic variation given a particular genotype. The term is analogous to the severity of a condition in clinical medicine . For example, the amount of blood ejected from the pumping heart with each contraction can be quantified by echocardiography and is called the ejection fraction. If a specific genotype is associated with the development of congestive heart failure, the expressivity would be represented by the range of ejection fractions seen in patients that have that genotype. As a more qualitative example, the blue gene might have an expressivity of 25 for individuals that express the blue gene and appear light blue, and 75 for individuals that express the blue gene and appear dark blue. Expressivity is measured only when there is 100 penetrance. This differs from penetrance , which refers to the likelihood of the gene generating its associated phenotype at all, as determined by the proportion of individuals with a given genotype who also possess the associated phenotype. In contrast, expressivity refers to the influence of an expressed gene at the level of particular individuals. Variable expressivity occurs when a phenotype is expressed to a different degree among individuals with the same genotype. For example, individuals with the same allele for a gene involved in a quantitative trait like body height might have large variance some are taller than others , making prediction of the phenotype from a particular genotype alone difficult. The expression of a phenotype may be modified by the effects of aging, other genetic loci, or environmental factors.

Unreferenced date December 2006 Image Hydraulic vena contracta 275px.png frame right Vena contracta Vena contracta is the point in a fluid stream where the diameter of the stream is the least, and fluid velocity is at its maximum, such as in the case of a stream issuing out of a nozzle , wikt orifice orifice . Evangelista Torricelli , 1643 . The maximum contraction takes place at a section slightly downstream of the orifice, where the jet is more or less horizontal. The effect is also observed in flow from a tank into a pipe, or a sudden contraction in pipe diameter. Streamlines will converge just downstream of the diameter change, and a region of separated flow occurs from the sharp corner of the diameter change and extends past the vena contracta. The reason for this phenomenon is that fluid streamlines cannot abruptly change direction. In the case of both the free jet and the sudden pipe diameter change, the streamlines are unable to closely follow the sharp angle in the pipe tank wall. The converging streamlines follow a smooth path, which results in the narrowing of the jet or primary pipe flow observed. Measurement of the vena contracta is useful in echocardiography , where it describes the smallest area of the blood flow jet as it exits a heart valve. This corresponds to the Effective Orifice Area calculated for heart valves using the continuity equation. Coefficient of contraction It is the ratio between the area of the jet at the vena contracta to the area of the orifice. C sub c sub area at vena contracta area of orifice The typical value may be taken as 0.64 for a sharp orifice concentric with the flow channel . The smaller the value, the more effect the vena contracta has.

Diagnostic infobox Name PAGENAME Image Caption ICD10 ICD9 ICD9proc 92.05 MeshID D015635 OPS301 OPS301 3 704 OtherCodes Radionuclide ventriculography , a type of cardiac ventriculography , is a form of nuclear imaging , where a gamma camera is used to create an image following injection of radioactive material, usually Technetium 99m sup 99m sup Tc . In radionuclide ventriculography, the radionuclide has the property of circulating through the cardiac chambers, availing for studies of the pumping function of the heart. ref name merck In contrast, in myocardial perfusion imaging , the radionuclide is taken up by the myocardial cells, making its presence correlating with myocardial perfusion or viability of the cells. ref name merck Radionuclide ventriculography is done to evaluate coronary artery disease CAD , valvular heart disease , congenital heart disease s, cardiomyopathy , and other cardiac disorder s. ref name merck It exposes patients to less radiation than do comparable chest x ray studies. However, the radioactive material is retained in the patient for several days after the test, during which sophisticated radiation alarms may be triggered, such as in airports. ref name merck http www.merck.com mmpe sec07 ch070 ch070i.html Merck manuals Radionuclide Imaging Last full review revision May 2009 by Michael J.
