Reentry: A Key Mechanism for Integration of Brain Function
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2013 Reentry in nervous systems is the ongoing bidirectional exchange of signals along reciprocal axonal fibers linking two or more brain areas. The hypothesis that reentrant signaling serves as a general mechanism to couple the functioning of multiple areas ...

Arrhythmia mechanism dependent pulmonary vein ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Atrial fibrillation (AF) often requires invasive treatment by ablation to decrease symptom burden. The pulmonary veins (PV) are thought to trigger paroxysms of AF, and ablative PV isolation (PVI) is a cornerstone in AF treatment. However, incomplete PVI,

Effects of Reentry Plasma Sheath on GPS Patch Antenna Polarization Property
International Journal of Antennas and Propagation, 2013 A plasma sheath enveloping a reentry vehicle would affect performances of on-board antenna greatly, especially the navigation antennas. This paper studies the effects of reentry plasma sheath on a GPS right-hand circularly polarized (RHCP) patch antenna ...

Mystery and contingency in correctional education
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry, 2016 Citing the work of Maxine Greene, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Thom Gehring, this paper makes the argument that correctional educators should attempt to accept that they will never fully understand the lives and perspectives of their students.

Rotor Drivers in Induction and Maintenance of Atrial Fibrillation
Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2021 Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. It is associated with an increased risk of stroke, chronic heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.

Termination of Reentry in an Inhomogeneous Ring of Model Cardiac Cells [PDF]
Phys Rev E 66, 061903 (2002), 2002 Reentrant waves propagating in a ring or annulus of excitable media model is the basic mechanism underlying a major class of irregular cardiac rhythms known as anatomical reentry. Such reentrant waves are terminated by rapid electrical stimulation (pacing) from an implantable device.

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 2475-2484, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Introduction The posterior wall (PW) has been proposed as a standard target for ablation beyond pulmonary vein antral isolation (PVI) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, studies have shown inconsistent outcomes with the addition of PW ablation.

Modeling the Heart as a Communication System [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society Interface, 12 (105), 2015, 2014 Electrical communication between cardiomyocytes can be perturbed during arrhythmia, but these perturbations are not captured by conventional electrocardiographic metrics. We developed a theoretical framework to quantify electrical communication using information theory metrics in 2-dimensional cell lattice models of cardiac excitation propagation.

A phenomenological study of employer perspectives on hiring ex- offenders
Cogent Social Sciences, 2019 Several researchers established a direct relationship between recidivism and ex-offenders’ unemployment. While the consequences of ex-offender unemployment to society are known, the lived experiences of employers or business owners making employment ...
