  2. Left anterior descending artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_anterior_descending...

    The LAD gives off two types of branches: septals and diagonals. Septals originate from the LAD at 90 degrees to the surface of the heart, perforating and supplying the anterior 2/3 of the interventricular septum. Diagonals run along the surface of the heart and supply the lateral wall of the left ventricle and the anterolateral papillary muscle.

  3. Left axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_axis_deviation

    Mechanical shifts that cause LAD are expiration or raised diaphragm from pregnancy, ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen), abdominal tumor, or enlarged liver or spleen. [2] Left axis deviation is a border deviation in athletes , which, if it is combined with another borderline feature such as right bundle branch block, requires further ...

    Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by immunodeficiency resulting in recurrent infections. [1] LAD is currently divided into three subtypes: LAD1 , LAD2 , and the recently described LAD3 , also known as LAD-1/variant.

  7. Leukocyte adhesion deficiency-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukocyte_adhesion...

    LAD1 is caused by mutations in the ITGB2 gene which are inherited autorecessively.This gene encodes CD18, a protein present in several cell surface receptor complexes found on white blood cells, [1] including lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1), complement receptor 3 (CR-3), and complement receptor 4 (CR-4).

  8. Right axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_axis_deviation

    The electrical axis of the heart is the net direction in which the wave of depolarization travels. It is measured using an electrocardiogram (ECG).Normally, this begins at the sinoatrial node (SA node); from here the wave of depolarisation travels down to the apex of the heart.

  9. Acute radiation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_radiation_syndrome

    Gastrointestinal. This syndrome often follows absorbed doses of 6–30 grays (600–3,000 rad). [3] The signs and symptoms of this form of radiation injury include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. [10] Vomiting in this time-frame is a marker for whole body exposures that are in the fatal range above 4 grays (400 rad).
