Mitral stenosis (MS) is generally the sequel of rheumatic carditis occurring in childhood (1). MS is particularly observed in developing countries (1, 2). Untreated patients can develop irreversible right ventricular failure (1, 2). Since its introduction by Inoue, percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is considered the leading and effective treatment option for symptomatic moderate to severe MS with favorable valve morphology (3, 4). PMBV provides immediate and sustained hemodynamic improvement, comparable with the results of surgery (3). However, there are challenges in some cases of PMBV, where surgery is also not feasible. Various techniques have been described for directing the mitral balloon catheter to left ventricle during PMBV (5-9). Here we aim to define a new technique for challenging cases of PMBV in patients with a large left atrium and a severe MS called the venoarterial looping.

Abstract The aim of this study is to examine whether yellow, red and blue background colors have an effect on word recognition. A total of 108 students, 87 women and 21 men, studying at the Faculty of Letters of FSM Vakif University, participated in the study. In the study conducted in FSM Vakif University Üsküdar Campus within 2 hours of Experimental Psychology, the color blindness test was applied to the participants first, and then they were taken to the experimental environment with the experimenter. Before the experiment started, the instruction was read by the experimenter and it was stated that the participant had to follow the remaining instructions on the computer. After the participant read the first instruction, the experiment started by pressing the “Enter” key, and then he was shown forty three-letter anagram words written in black on different background colors (red, blue, yellow) at 1-second intervals. When the words were finished, the thirty-second midterm task to mask the recall began and
