Abstract:
Surgical correction of Cantrell syndrome is often associated with an extremely high mortality rate due to the possibility of wound infection or the severity of cardiac anomalies. We report a case of Norwood operation and repositioning of the heart successfully performed 1 day after the birth of a neonate with pentalogy of Cantrell. The patient had double-outlet right ventricle, subaortic stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, hypoplastic aortic arch, and coarctation of the aorta. The patient underwent the Glenn operation at the age of 1 year and is now waiting for the Fontan operation.

Vector Operations
A vector multiplied by a scalar value is called scalar multiplication. The result obtained is a new vector with a different magnitude. If the scalar is positive, the direction of the vector remains the same, but if it is negative, the direction of the vector is reversed. For example, the product of the mass and velocity yields the momentum.
Operant Conditioning
Reinforcement in operant conditioning can be positive or negative, both of which serve to increase the likelihood of a behavior. Positive...
Modes of Operations of BJT
Active Mode: The most common mode for amplification, the active mode features a forward-biased emitter-base junction and a reverse-biased base-collector junction. This setup enables electrons to be injected from the emitter to the base while blocking the majority carriers at the collector. The...

Basic Operations on Signals
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.
