Melanocyte-like cells in the heart and pulmonary veins contribute to atrial arrhythmia triggers

Atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical cardiac arrhythmia. It is often initiated by ectopic beats arising from the pulmonary veins and atrium, but the source and mechanism of these beats remains unclear. The melanin synthesis enzyme dopachrome tau ...

Implementation of an automated ECG-based diagnosis for a wireless body sensor platform

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Nadia Khaled, Laura Gutiérrez Martín

Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSN) are poised to become a key enabling technology of personal systems for pervasive healthcare. Recent results have however shown that the conventional approach to their design, which consists in continuous wireless stream ...

Analysis of mice with conditional ferritin H deletion

Liviu Vanoaica

Iron is a transitional metal required by virtually all organisms as a dietary micromineral, indispensable for cellular survival and proliferation. The management of iron absorption and distribution in the organism and inside the cell must be tightly regula ...

Variation in the shape of pulsed arterial spin labeling kinetic curves across the healthy human brain and its implications for CBF quantification

Daniel Gallichan

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) uses proximally inverted blood water spins as an endogenous contrast agent to measure blood perfusion in tissue. In this work pulsed ASL was used to measure the kinetic curves of cerebral blood flow (CBF) across eight anatomica ...

Modeling the effects of dispersion and pulsatility of blood flow in pulsed arterial spin labeling

Daniel Gallichan

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a method of using MRI to image cerebral perfusion. For the measurement to be calibrated, a model is required describing the kinetics of the flow of the inverted blood from the labeling region to the imaging region. It is com ...

Control of the adaptive response of the heart to stress via the Notch1 receptor pathway

Freddy Radtke, Mario Gaetano Lepore

In the damaged heart, cardiac adaptation relies primarily on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The recent discovery of cardiac stem cells in the postnatal heart, however, suggests that these cells could participate in the response to stress via their capacity to ...

Adaptive FID-navigators for respiration monitoring in multi-slice fMRI applications

Rolf Gruetter, Tobias Kober, Reto Meuli, Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures activation-induced signal changes by means of the blood-oxygenation-level-depended (BOLD) contrast. Since signal changes are typically only 1-3%, the method is intrinsically sensitive to all signal inst ...

Data processing techniques for the characterization of atrial fibrillation

Mathieu Lemay

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, increasing in prevalence with age. During the past 20 years, there has been a 66% increase in hospital admissions related to atrial fibrillation. Neither the natural history of at ...

We have identified an ethylnitrosourea (ENU)-induced recessive mouse mutation (Vcc) with a pleiotropic phenotype that includes cardiac, tracheoesophageal, anorectal, anteroposterior patterning defects, exomphalos, hindlimb hypoplasia, a presacral mass, ren ...

Effects of an aging vascular model on healthy and diseased hearts

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, David Jegger, Patrick Segers

The vitamin D(3) and nicotine (VDN) model is a model of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) due to arterial calcification raising arterial stiffness and vascular impedance similar to an aged and stiffened arterial tree. We therefore analyzed the impact of ...
