A 73-year-old female patient was referred for coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) due to dyslipidemia, hypertension, and mild ventricular arrhythmia. The study demonstrated a double left anterior descending artery (LAD) Type 1 variant (Fig. 1A) and significant atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries. Conventional coronary angiography confirmed presence of an anomaly and significant atherosclerotic lesions within the second marginal branch (Mg 2) and the right coronary artery (RCA). The patient was treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of Mg 2 and RCA with drug-eluting stenting (DES).A 63-year-old female smoker with hypertension, had a positive stress test with low exercise tolerance (5.9 METS) and significant ST depression in leads II, III, aVF, V5 and V6, with chest pain. The 24-h Holter electrocardiography monitoring demonstrated ventricular arrhythmia with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (nsVT). The CTA revealed multifocal significant atherosclerotic lesions and dual LAD Type 1 (Fig. 1B). The patient did not consent to coronary angiography.Computed tomography angiography is the preferred imaging method in the assessment of coronary arteries anomalies. The main advantages
The article proposes a conceptual differentiation of the attitudes of a conformist and a non-conformist, presents a survey of various meanings attributed to the two terms in sociological literature – historical and contemporary – and discusses definitions found in it. The author argues, through concrete examples, that conformism should be considered as an attitude based on a relation between an individual and a group with its norms, values, and even typical qualities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
