Learning Multi-resolution Graph Edge Embedding for Discovering Brain Network Dysfunction in Neurological Disorders [PDF]
Tremendous recent literature show that associations between different brain regions, i.e., brain connectivity, provide early symptoms of neurological disorders. Despite significant efforts made for graph neural network (GNN) techniques, their focus on graph nodes makes the state-of-the-art GNN methods not suitable for classifying brain connectivity as ...

Graph analysis of functional brain networks: practical issues in translational neuroscience [PDF]
The brain can be regarded as a network: a connected system where nodes, or units, represent different specialized regions and links, or connections, represent communication pathways. From a functional perspective communication is coded by temporal dependence between the activities of different brain areas.

Pacing for the Suppression of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in an 87-year-old Patient
Background: Sinus node dysfunction, atrioventricular (AV) block and atrial fibrillation (AF) are associated with advanced age. Required therapy commonly includes pacemaker implantation. Methods: We report the course of therapy for an 87-year-old with

Mathematical and Preclinical Investigation of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Effects on Cardiac Output [PDF]
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is heart rate variability in synchrony with respiration although its functional significance not clear. The loss of sinus arrhythmia may indicate underlying heart failure or disease; therefore, there would be a great advantage of knowing how it works and affects the cardio-respiratory system, especially by providing a

The Evolution of Sinoatrial Node Function in Man [PDF]
The function of the sinoatrial node is complex. In nearly all hearts, this small bit of tissue is responsible for spontaneously generating the impulse which will be distributed to the remainder of the heart, maintaining coordinated electrical and ...

Holter monitoring in patients with transient and focal ischemic attacks of the brain [PDF]
The results of Holter monitoring in 100 patients with transient and focal cerebral ischemia were studied retrospectively. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was found in five patients compared with two from a group of 100 age and sex-matched control patients. Four

Loss of muscleblind-like 1 results in cardiac pathology and persistence of embryonic splice isoforms. [PDF]
Cardiac dysfunction is a prominent cause of mortality in myotonic dystrophy I (DM1), a disease where expanded CUG repeats bind and disable the muscleblind-like family of splice regulators.

A curious alliance: Sinus nodal dysfunction precipitating atrioventricular block
An elderly woman presented with recurrent syncope. Sinus bradycardia and sinoatrial block were seen on the electrocardiogram; however, PR interval prolongation after sinus pauses suggested atrioventricular conduction system disease.
