Thickness‐Gradient Liquid Metal Connectors for Seamless Electrophysiological Sensors
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Thickness‐gradient liquid metal interfaces with elastomeric substrates enable seamless integration between ultrathin skin‐conformal electrodes and external interconnects. The mechanically compliant connector reduces interfacial mismatch and supports stable ECG/EMG monitoring under bending and motion.

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Protects against Histamine-Induced Endothelial Barrier Dysfunction in Vivo [PDF]
, 2008 Endothelial barrier dysfunction is a hallmark of many severe pathologies, including sepsis or atherosclerosis. The cardiovascular hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has increasingly been suggested to counteract endothelial leakage.

The Deubiquitinase UCHL1 Drives Susceptibility to Atrial Fibrillation by Stabilizing CaMKII‐δ
Advanced Science, EarlyView.UCHL1 is highly upregulated in mice and patients with AF. UCHL1 directly binds to and removes K48‐linked polyubiquitin chains from CaMKII‐δ at K251 and enhances CaMKII‐δ stability, which activates RyR2, disrupts Ca2+ handling, and promotes AF. These findings establish UCHL1 as a critical regulator of CaMKII‐δ stability and AF‐related Ca2+ handling ...

Left atrial size and contractile function in healthy dogs and dogs with chronic mitral valve disease
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira: In humans, left atrial enlargement and reduced contractile functions are associated with adverse cardiovascular events and a poor prognosis in many dilatation of the left atrium occurs with the gradual evolution of chronic mitral valve disease and is ...

Early or Delayed Cardioversion in Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation
, 2019 To the Editor: Pluymaekers et al. (April 18 issue)(1) evaluated the occurrence of spontaneous cardioversion in patients with recent-onset (<36 hours) atrial fibrillation. The proposed wait-and-see approach included cardioversion within 48 hours in the

Cardiac adrenergic control and atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2010 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and it causes substantial mortality. The autonomic nervous system, and particularly the adrenergic/cholinergic balance, has a profound influence on the occurrence of AF ...

Retrospective Grid Cells in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex Encode Past Paths During Spatial Navigation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Retrospective grid cells are identified in the medial entorhinal cortex, with spatial firing patterns that become most grid‐like when activity is projected onto recently traversed locations. Their coding loses spatial precision in darkness and is disrupted during assisted movement, indicating that entorhinal representations incorporate recent path ...
