Transient unexpected improvement of AV conduction: What is the mechanism? [PDF]
This ECG was recorded from a 93 year old patient with a previously documented third degree AV block and an underlying LBBB. The twelve lead ECG demonstrates sinus bradycardia at a rate of 52 beats per minute, a PR interval of 230 milliseconds, and a ...

User-initialized active contour segmentation and golden-angle real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance enable accurate assessment of LV function in patients with sinus rhythm and arrhythmias. [PDF]
BackgroundData obtained during arrhythmia is retained in real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance (rt-CMR), but there is limited and inconsistent evidence to show that rt-CMR can accurately assess beat-to-beat variation in left ventricular (LV ...

Wonders of Harbor and Grey Seal Whiskers: Morphology, Natural Frequencies, and 3D Modeling
Seals detect prey by sensing vortices using whiskers. How whisker morphologies and locations respond to hydrodynamic signals across various frequencies remains unclear. This study measures whiskers’ natural frequencies and morphologies and maps them to whisker locations on the muzzle, providing insights into how seals interpret hydrodynamic signals ...
