Transmural Myocardial Mechanics During Isovolumic Contraction

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2009
We sought to resolve the 3-dimensional transmural heterogeneity in myocardial mechanics observed during the isovolumic contraction (IC) phase.Although myocardial deformation during IC is expected to be little, recent tissue Doppler imaging studies suggest dynamic myocardial motions during this phase with biphasic longitudinal tissue velocities in left ...

Effect of αα₂-adrenoceptor stimulation on the isolated rat heart after acute myocardial infarction

КардиоСоматика
Background: α2-Adrenoceptors (α2-ARs) are a family of G protein–coupled receptors. They are located on presynaptic membranes of adrenergic fibers, postsynaptic membranes of cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, as well as in the peripheral and

Effects of sugammadex and rocuronium on electro-mechanical activity of cardiac myocytes [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology
Background Sugammadex reverses the effects of steroidal neuromuscular-blocking agents, such as rocuronium, by encapsulating these agents. Its cardiovascular adverse effects include QTc prolongation, hypotension, bradycardia, atrioventricular block ...

Life‐Threatening Bradycardia in Anti‐NMDA‐Receptor Encephalitis and a Novel Use for Permanent Pacing

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (pNMDARE) is an autoantibody‐mediated disorder that can cause severe autonomic dysfunction, including symptomatic bradycardia and asystole. Dysautonomia can last for years, making it very challenging to manage.

Angina de Prinzmetal Angina de Prinzmetal Prinzmetal's angina

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2009
Essa síndrome é causada por um espasmo focal de uma artéria coronária epicárdica, levando a isquemia miocárdica grave. Embora freqüentemente acredite-se que o espasmo ocorra em artérias sem estenose, muitos pacientes com angina de Prinzmetal apresentam ...

Financial Distress and Its Determinants in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To quantify the degree of financial distress and identify its determinants in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) given the frequent prolonged use of expensive disease‐modifying therapies. Methods We identified adults enrolled in the FORWARD databank with either RA or noninflammatory musculoskeletal disease (NIMSKD) completing the ...

Harnessing Outer Space for Improved Electrocaloric Cooling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel radiative heat sink/source‐integrated electrocaloric (R‐iEC) system combines the electrocaloric (EC) effect with a thermally conductive radiative cooler (TCRC) to address heat dissipation limitations in EC devices. Utilizing outer space as a heat sink, the system achieves up to 240 W m−2 of heat dissipation performance, making it highly ...

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...
