ABSTRACT

Being alone or together makes a difference for the photophysics of dyes but for ionic dyes it is difficult to quantify the interactions due to solvent screening and nearby counter ions. Gas-phase luminescence experiments are desirable and now possible based on recent developments in mass spectrometry. Here we present results on tailor-made rhodamine homodimers where two dye cations are separated by methylene linkers, (CH2 )n . In solution the fluorescence is almost identical to that from the monomer whereas the emission from bare cation dimers redshifts with decreasing n. In the absence of screening, the electric field from the charge on one dye is strong enough to polarize the other dye, both in the ground state and in the excited state. An electrostatic model based on symmetric dye responses (equal induced-dipole moments in ground state) captures the underlying physics and demonstrates interaction even at large distances. Our results have possible implications for gas-phase Förster Resonance Energy Transfer.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La evaluación de las cavidades cardíacas derechas es de gran importancia diagnóstica y pronóstica en diversas patologías. Sin embargo, existen pocos datos bibliográficos acerca de los valores de referencia de sus dimensiones así como de la función del ventrículo derecho. Objetivo: Nuestro objetivo fue establecer dichos valores, identificar diferencias asociadas al sexo y a variables antropométricas y evaluar la variabilidad inter- e intraobservador en su determinación. Material y métodos: Se incluyeron prospectivamente personas sanas ≥ 16 años, de ambos sexos. Se aplicaron estrictos criterios de exclusión. Se realizó la evaluación ecocardiográfica con múltiples mediciones de cavidades derechas y la estimación de la variabilidad inter- e intraobservador en un subgrupo de 40 personas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 438 personas, el 55,2% (n = 242) fueron hombres. La media de edad fue 34 ± 9 años. Las variables analizadas mostraron diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres, que persistieron al indexarlas a superficie corporal. La fuerza de concordancia para la variabilidad interobservador fue excelente (CCI > 0,75) en el 50% de las variables estudiadas, regular a buena (CCI 0,4 a 0,75) en el 47,4% y pobre (CCI < 0,4) en el 2,6%. La concordancia intraobservador fue excelente en el 54,8% de las variables, regular a buena en el 42,8% de ellas y pobre en el 2,4%. Conclusión: Presentamos valores de referencia para la evaluación de las cavidades derechas. Las diferencias observadas entre sexos y según la superficie corporal hacen necesaria su discriminación acorde con dichos parámetros en la práctica diaria. La concordancia interobservador e intraobservador fue excelente a buena en la mayoría de las variables estudiadas.


ABSTRACT Background: The evaluation of right-sided heart chambers is extremely important for the diagnosis and prognosis of differ-ent conditions. However, there is little information in the bibliography about the reference values of the right-sided heart chambers dimensions and right ventricular function. Objective: The aim of this study was to establish the reference values of the right-sided heart chambers, to identify the dif-ferences associated with sex and anthropometric variables and to evaluate the interobserver and intraobserver variability in determining these values. Methods: The study included healthy men and women ≥16 years. Strict exclusion criteria were applied. A subgroup of 40 people underwent multiple measurementis of the right-sided heart chambers and interobserver and intraobserver variability was estimated. Resultis: A total of 438 persons were included; 55.2% (n=242) were men. Mean age was 34±9 years. There were significant differences in the variables analyzed between men and women that persisted after they were indexed to body surface area. Interobserver concordance (ICC>0.75) was excellent in 50% of the variables evaluated, fair to good (ICC 0.4 to 0.75) in 47.4% and poor (ICC<0.4) in 2.6%. Intraobserver concordance was excellent in 54.8% of the variables, fair to good in 42.8% and poor in 2.4%. Conclusion: The reference values for the evaluation of right-sided heart chambers are presented. The differences observed between sexes and related to body surface area emphasize the need for discriminating according to these parameters in daily practice. Interobserver and intraobserver concordance was excellent to good in most of the variables analyzed.
