Effectiveness of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation according to heart failure etiology
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020 Background Catheter ablation is an important rhythm control therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with concomitant heart failure (HF). The objective of this study was to assess the comparative efficacy of AF ablation patients with ischemic vs

Ibandronate promotes autophagy by inhibiting Rac1–mTOR signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo
Cell Death Discovery, 2022 We previously reported that ibandronate (IBAN) could improve endothelial function in spontaneously hypertensive rats. However, the mechanism by which IBAN improves endothelial function is unclear.

Fibril Breaking Accelerates α-Synuclein Fibrillization [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2015 The formation of amyloid fibrils of α-synuclein (αSyn), the key protein in Parkinson's disease, is an autocatalytic process that is seeded by mature αSyn fibrils. Based on systematic measurements of the dependence of the fibril growth rate on the concentrations of monomers and preformed fibrillar seeds, we propose a mechanism of αSyn aggregation that ...

D-band strain underestimates fibril strain for twisted collagen fibrils at low strains [PDF]
, 2021 Collagen fibrils are the main structural component of load-bearing tissues such as tendons, ligaments, skin, the cornea of the eye, and the heart. The D-band of collagen fibrils is an axial periodic density modulation that can be easily characterized by tissue-level X-ray scattering. During mechanical testing, D-band strain is often used as a proxy for

Non-invasive estimation of left atrial dominant frequency in atrial fibrillation from different electrode sites: Insight from body surface potential mapping [PDF]
, 2014 © 2014, CardioFront LLC. All rights reserved. The dominant driving sources of atrial fibrillation are often found in the left atrium, but the expression of left atrial activation on the body surface is poorly understood.
