![]() 2 Transient hypotension is another benign complication that can resolve with intravenous fluid administration. Skin irritation, pain, and burn are the most common morbidities, with moderate-to-severe pain occurring in up to 23%. Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is the fastest way to establish sinus rhythm compared to antiarrhythmic medications and ablation. 1 Rhythm control is an essential strategy in symptomatic patients. The majority of patients recover within 2 weeks with supportive care.Ītrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide, with prevalence increasing with age. ![]() Female patients have a 50-fold increased risk, but DM is associated with a 3-fold risk reduction. Cardioversion-associated takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare complication in patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent electrical cardioversion. The recovery time is less than 1 week in milder cases but can take up to 2 weeks in severe cases. ![]() Acute heart failure due to apical type takotsubo cardiomyopathy is the most common presentation within 48 hours. The systematic review included 13 patients (mean age of 74.8 ± 9.6 years and 77% were female). Female sex is an independent predictor of electrical cardioversion-associated takotsubo cardiomyopathy, while diabetes mellitus is associated with less risk of electrical cardioversion-associated takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Among 154 919 patients admitted with atrial fibrillation who underwent electrical cardioversion in National Readmission Database 2018, 0.027% were readmitted with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (mean age of 71.0 ± 3.5 years and 96.7% were female). Baseline characteristics and clinical presentation were displayed. A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed and Embase for patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent electrical cardioversion and developed takotsubo cardiomyopathy from inception to February 2022. We identified all patients with the index diagnosis of atrial fibrillation who underwent electrical cardioversion and were readmitted within 30 days with a primary diagnosis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy by International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes to find the incidence and risk factors of the disease. We aimed to determine the incidence of cardioversion-associated takotsubo cardiomyopathy using a National Readmission Database 2018 and a systematic review. (f) certain symptoms, for which supplementary information is provided, that represent important problems in medical care in their own right.The incidence of cardioversion-associated takotsubo cardiomyopathy in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing electrical cardioversion is unknown.(e) cases in which a more precise diagnosis was not available for any other reason.(d) cases referred elsewhere for investigation or treatment before the diagnosis was made.(c) provisional diagnosis in a patient who failed to return for further investigation or care.(b) signs or symptoms existing at the time of initial encounter that proved to be transient and whose causes could not be determined.(a) cases for which no more specific diagnosis can be made even after all the facts bearing on the case have been investigated.The conditions and signs or symptoms included in categories R00- R94 consist of:.8, are generally provided for other relevant symptoms that cannot be allocated elsewhere in the classification. The Alphabetical Index should be consulted to determine which symptoms and signs are to be allocated here and which to other chapters. Practically all categories in the chapter could be designated 'not otherwise specified', 'unknown etiology' or 'transient'. In general, categories in this chapter include the less well-defined conditions and symptoms that, without the necessary study of the case to establish a final diagnosis, point perhaps equally to two or more diseases or to two or more systems of the body. Signs and symptoms that point rather definitely to a given diagnosis have been assigned to a category in other chapters of the classification.This chapter includes symptoms, signs, abnormal results of clinical or other investigative procedures, and ill-defined conditions regarding which no diagnosis classifiable elsewhere is recorded.

![]() We got optimisation for Apple’s M1 chip, for instance, and the most recent big flagpole announcement was the aforementioned Panorama Stitching, but good though that feature may be, this was a year ago.ĭespite some interface niggles, Affinity Photo is excellent, with powerful features, for an unbeatable price - but we were a little concerned that this software might start lagging behind the ever-evolving rivals. And most changes before that were stability and performance improvements. The software hadn’t received an update for six months prior to the release. Liquify is a fun tool to warp and distort portions of your image (Image credit: Serif)Īffinity Photo V2 is the latest version of the photo editor, and the upgrade brings with it plenty of new and useful tools. Where to even start? Thankfully, the startup panel offers a link to a large number of video tutorials and also a support forum. If you’re a newcomer however, it is quite possible that you will find yourself somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of options open to you. To be fair, we have a good amount of experience working with such applications, and as a result Affinity Photo felt very familiar to us, so that’s a good thing - if you have experience with its competitors. Rather than turn this article into a bullet-point list, we decided to focus on how it felt to use them to work on a photograph. There are way too many to list in this short review, like PSD file support, RAW Support, masking, layering, retouching, removing blemishes, curving, a full set of 16-bit filters, to name but a tiny few. ![]() The list of tools is incredibly long, and rivals bigger, more expensive competitors, yes, even Photoshop itself, and for the price, that’s no small feat. You’ll find Affinity Photo is crammed full of the features you need to manipulate and otherwise improve a photo, or project. ![]() This feels like a step backwards to us, and sadly we could not find a way to revert back to the way the layout used to be.įeeling a little lost? Worry not: you have access to a wealth of online video tutorials (Image credit: Serif) You can’t have multiple floating windows open though: click on another tool and the parameters you previously selected are replaced by the new ones.Īlthough this saves you from a proliferation of endless popup windows, it would be good to have access to multiple tools in one go, rather than having to constantly click on thumbnails to reveal them. In order to apply the change, you must click on a thumbnail, which reveals the values you can alter in a floating window, and depending on the thumbnail you clicked on, applies some changes automatically as well. Your tools are still there, but rather than seeing any sliders or changeable parameters, you’re presented with multiple thumbnails of your current photo. Last time we explored Affinity Photo, they were all presented in a long scrollable list on the right. More annoying though was the Studio itself. ![]() It can sometimes be frustrating when you need to access parameters from the Studio, as a pop-up window appears (Image credit: Serif) Going back to software that still has pretty coloured icons felt odd to us. Many competitors have long migrated to a monochrome style, to limit any distractions to the image you’re working on, and its own colour spectrum. One minor gripe is that the toolbar is too colourful. This is actually all very reminiscent of Adobe Photoshop, and if you’re comfortable with that behemoth, it won’t take you long to feel right at home with Affinity Photo.īut it’s not all perfect (which software is?). Other tools and information about your current image file are along the top, with a detailed inspector to the right, known as the Studio, leaving the bulk of the interface to your canvas. Just like many other applications of this type, mouse over one to reveal a tooltip giving its title, and any tool with a small triangle lower right of it indicates additional yet similar tools are but a click away. You’ll find it to the left as a series of small icons. Nice and clean, packed with features, but with some design annoyancesĪffinity Photo’s interface is designed to be quite minimalist, while still presenting you with all the features you would need at any time.You’ll find toolbars on the top, left and right of the interface, leaving the rest of the screen real estate for your image (Image credit: Serif) You can also take part in a couple of short adventures from the perspective of other characters in the Star Wars Universe like a Jedi padawan and Bounty Hunter droid.

The mitochondrial genomes of the snow leopard, the leopard and the lion ( P. Panthera blytheae excavated in western Tibet's Ngari Prefecture is the oldest known Panthera species and exhibits skull characteristics similar to the snow leopard. Panthera originates most likely in northern Central Asia. The snow leopard and the tiger probably diverged between 3.7 to 2.7 million years ago. The genetic divergence time of this group is estimated at 4.62 to 1.82 million years ago. īased on the phylogenetic analysis of the DNA sequence sampled across the living Felidae, the snow leopard forms a sister group with the tiger ( P. The upper cladogram is based on two studies published in 20, the lower one is based on studies published in 20. Evolution Two cladograms proposed for Panthera. Īdditionally, an extinct subspecies Panthera uncia pyrenaica was described in 2022 based on material found in France. This view has been both contested and supported by different researchers. uncia in the range countries of the Pamir Mountains Results of a phylogeographic analysis indicate that three subspecies should be recognised: Until spring 2017, there was no evidence available for the recognition of subspecies. They were subordinated to the genus Panthera based on results of phylogenetic studies. The snow leopard was long classified in the monotypic genus Uncia. Panthera baikalensis-romanii proposed by a Russian scientist in 2000 was a dark brown snow leopard skin from the Petrovsk-Zabaykalsky District in southern Transbaikal. He also described morphological differences between snow leopard and leopard skins. Uncia uncia was used by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1930 when he reviewed skins and skulls of Panthera species from Asia. Felis uncioides proposed by Thomas Horsfield in 1855 was a snow leopard skin from Nepal in the collection of the Museum of the East India Company. pardus) skins were previously misidentified as snow leopard skins. He also clarified that several leopard ( P. Felis irbis, proposed by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1830, was a skin of a female snow leopard collected in the Altai Mountains. The genus name Uncia was proposed by John Edward Gray in 1854 for Asian cats with a long and thick tail. Taxonomy and evolution Snow leopard skull in the collection of the Museum Wiesbadenįelis uncia was the scientific name used by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1777 who described a snow leopard based on an earlier description by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, assuming that the cat occurred along the Barbary Coast, in Persia, East India and China. The word panther derives from the classical Latin panthēra, itself from the ancient Greek πάνθηρ pánthēr, which was used for spotted cats. Once was then understood to be the name of the animal. The word once was originally considered to be pronounced as l'once, where l' stands for the elided form of the word la ('the') in French. Once is believed to have originated from a previous form of the word lynx through a process known as false splitting. The Old French word once, which was intended to be used for the Eurasian lynx ( Lynx lynx), is where the Latin name uncia and the English word ounce both originate. Naming and etymology Illustration of an 'Ounce' The species is widely depicted in Kyrgyz culture. It is therefore regarded as a monotypic species. Two subspecies were described based on morphological differences, but genetic differences between the two have not yet been confirmed. Since phylogenetic studies revealed the relationships among Panthera species, it has since been considered a member of that genus. Taxonomically, the snow leopard was long classified in the monotypic genus Uncia. In the northern part of its range, it also lives at lower elevations. It inhabits alpine and subalpine zones at elevations of 3,000–4,500 m (9,800–14,800 ft), ranging from eastern Afghanistan, the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau to southern Siberia, Mongolia and western China. It is mainly threatened by poaching and habitat destruction following infrastructural developments. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global population is estimated to number fewer than 10,000 mature individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040. The species is native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. The snow leopard ( Panthera uncia), commonly known as the ounce, is a species of large cat in the genus Panthera of the family Felidae. Panthera baikalensis-romanii Medvedev, 2000. ![]() The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony, and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm may convey musical or incantatory effects. Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretations of words, or to evoke emotive responses. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form, and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from more objectively-informative prosaic writing. The earliest surviving Western Asian epic poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in the Sumerian language.Įarly poems in the Eurasian continent evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing as well as from religious hymns (the Sanskrit Rigveda, the Zoroastrian Gathas, the Hurrian songs, and the Hebrew Psalms) or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Egyptian Story of Sinuhe, Indian epic poetry, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey.Īncient Greek attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song, and comedy. ![]() Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa occurs among the Pyramid Texts written during the 25th century BCE. It dates back at least to prehistoric times with hunting poetry in Africa and to panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River valleys. Poetry has a long and varied history, evolving differentially across the globe. ![]() A poem is a literary composition, written by a poet, using this principle. Poetry (a term derived from the Greek word poiesis, "making"), also called verse, is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language − such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre − to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. “The information presented here was developed using local watershed information and provides useful guidance for further fleshing out the watershed protection plan,” Skinner added. “The decisions made at that meeting were fed directly into this model, and the draft outputs that will be presented are a direct reflection of the input provided by partnership members,” he said.Īnthony Castilaw of Catislaw Environmental Services, Attoyac Bayou watershed coordinator, said the content of this meeting will build off of previous meetings and get the partnership one step closer to the goal of developing an effective watershed protection plan for the Attoyac Bayou. Gregory said model inputs were the primary topic of discussion at the Dec. The Texas Water Resources Institute, which manages the project, is part of Texas AgriLife Research, AgriLife Extension and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University. “Specifically, this meeting will include a presentation comparing stream flow to monitored water-quality data, an overview of potential management practices to consider including in the plan, the presentation of initial SELECT model outputs, and the distribution of several draft chapters of the watershed protection plan.” “The meeting will focus on continuing discussions on developing the watershed protection plan,” said Lucas Gregory, Texas Water Resources Institute project manager. ![]() “Anyone interested in protecting and restoring water quality in the Attoyac Bayou and improving or protecting its watershed is invited to the meeting,” said Crispin Skinner, Prairie View A&M University Cooperative Extension Program agriculture and natural resources agent for Nacogdoches County. ![]() Discussion will include initial modeling results and certain draft watershed plan chapters.

Not so fast. It’s not relaxing like the bedroom, entertaining like the family room, or delicious like the kitchen. Umberto Eco, The Search for the Perfect Language, Figure 10.3, p. Dogs are distinguished from wolves, and cats from tigers, on the basis of a dichotomy by taxonomic entities known as taxa (figure 10.3). ![]() This makes it difficult to know whether or not the same differences will be reproduced at some further point in the tree when it becomes necessary to specify the difference not just between dogs and cats, but also between violets and roses, diamonds and sapphires, and angels and demons.Įven taxonomy as practiced by modern zoology defines through dichotomies. In order to obtain new definitions, new differences need to be inserted into the diagram.īesides this, we can see that, although differences occur in one species, in this tree there are differences, such as “mortal/immortal,” which occur in two different species. Unfortunately this diagram does not tell us anything about the differences between dogs and cats, or horses and wolves, or cats and tigers. We see that the diagram defines a human being as a “rational and mortal animal,” which, in classical terms, is considered a satisfactory definition because there cannot be a rational and mortal animal which is not a human being, and only human beings are so. The terms in upper-case refer to genera and species while those in lower-case refer to differences, that is, to particular accidents which occur only in a given species. ![]() In figure 10.2, there is an example of how a Porphyrian Tree establishes the difference between human beings and gods (understood as natural forces) and between human beings and beasts. ![]() Umberto Eco, The Search for the Perfect Language, Figure 10.2, p. Each genus, with the addition of one of its divisive differences, produces an underlying species, which is so defined by its genus and its constitutive difference. In a Porphyrian Tree each genus is divided by two differences which constitute a pair of opposites. Such a structured representation was known in the Middle Ages as Porphyry’s Tree (because it was derived from the Isagoge of the Neo-Platonic philosopher Porphyry, living in the second-third century AD), and was still taken as a definitional model by the English searchers for a real character. To do this, it is necessary to insert differences into the classification.Īristotle, in his studies of definition, said that, in order to define the essence of a thing, we should select such attributes which “although each of them has a wider extension than the subject, all together they have not” ( Posterior Analytics II, 96a, 35). ![]() “Nevertheless, such a dictionary-like structure would not allow us to define the difference between a cat and a tiger, or even between a canine and a feline animal.
