Abstract Introduction and Objectives Fibrosis, including hypertrophic scar formation, is a pathological condition characterized by excessive production and accumulation of collagen, and loss of tissue architecture, in response to wound healing. Alterations in the extracellular matrix (ECM) biomechanical properties may be important in modulating ...

Evaluation of Impact of Some Pulse Parameters on the Efficiency of Electric Cardiac Defibrillation
Objective: to test the hypothesis of the resonance pattern of an electric cardiac defibrillation process and to study the impact of the frequency spectrum of pulses of various shape on the efficiency of defibrillation.Material and methods.

Successful Postnatal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Due to Defibrillation
An asphyxiated term neonate required postnatal resuscitation. After six minutes of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and two doses of epinephrine, spontaneous circulation returned, but was shortly followed by ventricular fibrillation.

The topology of defibrillation [PDF]
We describe how Art Winfree's ideas about phase singularities can be used to understand the response of cardiac tissue with a random preexisting pattern of reentrant waves (fibrillation) to a large brief current stimulus. This discussion is organized around spatial dimension, beginning with a discussion of reentry on a periodic ring, followed by ...

Broadening Responsibilities: Consideration Of The Potential To Broaden The Role Of Uniformed Fire Service Employees [PDF]
What is this report about? This report, commissioned by the National Joint Council for Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services (NJC), aims to identify what impact, if any, firefighters can have on the delivery of emergency medical response and wider ...

Control of scroll wave turbulence using resonant perturbations [PDF]
Turbulence of scroll waves is a sort of spatio-temporal chaos that exists in three-dimensional excitable media. Cardiac tissue and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction are examples of such media.

Abstract Aims Classifying patients as responders or non‐responders to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been recently challenged, suggesting that preventing heart failure (HF) progression may also provide survival benefits. We assessed a novel classification based on echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) reverse remodelling and the ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1: A comparison between the adult‐ and late‐onset subtype
Abstract Introduction/Aims Although the extent of muscle weakness and organ complications has not been well studied in patients with late‐onset myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), adult‐onset DM1 is associated with severe muscle involvement and possible life‐threatening cardiac and respiratory complications.
