    AbstractThe aim of this research was to analyse and experience the various electronics company profiles in various countries using giant social media, Facebook. This analysis was performed with the Insight data of Facebook's page which provide 4 different count values named day, day_28, week and lifetime respectively. To analyze the company's performance in various countries, aggregation was performed to find total users in a country those are engaged with different Facebook pages. All these four counts were used to compare various companies popularity using various measures like Total Country in which people knows about Company, Top-K Country and Least-K country, Count Comparison, Country wise Standard Deviation, Correlation between two companies in a country. Analysis results proved that Samsung was more popular in most of the country compared to all other companies. These findings will definitely help the companies in improving their popularity in social media, which intern will improve their business

    Left ventricular T1-mapping in diastole versus systole in patients with mitral regurgitation

    Cardiovascular magnetic resonance T1-mapping enables myocardial tissue characterisation, and is capable of quantifying both intracellular and extracellular volume. T1-mapping is conventionally performed in diastole, however, we hypothesised that systolic readout would reduce variability due to a reduction in myocardial blood volume. This study investigated whether T1-mapping in systole alters T1 values compared to diastole and whether reproducibility alters in atrial fibrillation compared to sinus rhythm. We prospectively identified 103 consecutive patients recruited to the Mitral FINDER study who had T1 mapping in systole and diastole. These patients had moderate or severe mitral regurgitation and a high incidence of ventricular dilatation and atrial fibrillation. T1, ECV and goodness-of-fit (R2) values of the T1 times were calculated offline using Circle cvi42 and in house-developed software. Systolic T1 mapping was associated with fewer myocardial segments being affected by artefact compared to diastolic T1 mapping [217/2472 (9%) vs 515/2472 (21%)]. Mean native T1 values were not significantly different when measured in systole and diastole (985 ± 26 ms vs 988 ± 29 respectively; p = 0.061) and mean post-contrast values showed similar good agreement (462 ± 32 ms vs 459 ± 33 respectively, p = 0.052). No clinically significant differences in ECV, native T1 and post-contrast T1 were identified between diastolic and systolic T1 maps in males versus females, or in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation versus sinus rhythm. A statistically significant improvement in R2 value was observed with systolic over diastolic T1 mapping in all analysed maps (n = 411) (96.2 ± 1.4% vs 96.0 ± 1.4%; p &lt; 0.001) and in subgroup analyses [Sinus rhythm: 96.1 ± 1.4 vs 96.3 ± 1.4 (n = 327); p &lt; 0.001. AF: 95.5 ± 1.3 vs 95.9 ± 1.2 (n = 80); p &lt; 0.001] [Males: 95.8 ± 1.4 vs 96.1 ± 1.3 (n = 264); p &lt; 0.001; Females: 96.2 ± 1.3 vs 96.4 ± 1.4 (n = 143); p = 0.009]. In conclusion, myocardial T1 mapping is associated with similar T1 and ECV values in systole and diastole. Furthermore, systolic acquisition is less prone to gating artefact in arrhythmia.</p

    BACKGROUND Mitral regurgitation (MR) is common following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the subsequent trajectory of MR, and its impact on long-term outcomes are not well understood. This study aimed to examine the change in MR severity and associated clinical outcomes following MI. METHODS Records of patients admitted to a single centre between 2016 and 2017 with acute MI treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively examined. RESULTS 294/1000 consecutive patients had MR on baseline (pre-discharge) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), of whom 126 (mean age: 70.9 Β± 11.4 years) had at least one follow-up TTE. At baseline, most patients had mild MR ( = 94; 75%), with = 30 (24%) moderate and = 2 (2%) severe MR. Significant improvement in MR was observed at the first follow-up TTE (median 9 months from baseline; interquartile range: 3-23), with 36% having reduced severity, compared to 10% having increased MR severity ( < 0.001). Predictors of worsening MR included older age (mean: 75.2 vs. 66.7 years; = 0.003) and lower creatinine clearance (mean: 60 vs. 81 mL/min, = 0.015). Change in MR severity was significantly associated with prognosis: 16% with improving MR reached the composite endpoint of death or heart failure hospitalisation at 5 years, versus 44% ( = 0.004) with no change, and 59% ( < 0.001) with worsening MR. CONCLUSIONS Of patients with follow-up TTE after MI, MR severity improved from baseline in approximately one-third, was stable in around half, with the remainder having worsening MR. Patients with persistent or worsening MR had worse clinical outcomes than those with improving MR
