While investigating a signal of adaptive evolution in humans at the gene LARGE, we encountered an intriguing finding by Dr. Stefan Kunz that the gene plays a critical role in Lassa virus binding and e…
Endogenous lectins act as effectors of cellular activities such as growth regulation, migration, and adhesion. Following their immunohistochemical localization in our previous study (Saussez et al. in…
BACKGROUND: Robotic (RNS) or magnetic navigation systems (MNS) are available for remotely performed catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF).OBJECTIVE: The present study compares remotely assist…
BACKGROUND : Elevation of hepatic enzymes is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and obesity. However, the factors behind elevation of liver enzymes remain unclear. The aim of this study…
INTRODUCTION: Using numerical simulations, we predict that nonsustained reentry occurs following a strong, premature stimulus through a unipolar electrode.METHODS AND RESULTS: Our simulations were bas…
PURPOSE: To determine whether measurement of left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) diameters on nongated computed tomography angiography (CTA) can detect left atrial and left ventricular enlargem…
Although the inotropic and dromotropic effects of cardiac glycosides in atrial fibrillation (AF) are well recognized, their action on AF itself is not clear. Accordingly, to determine whether cardiac …
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is strongly associated with metabolic abnormalities in Western women. However, data from other populations and geographical regions are scarce. This study evaluated ca…
The aim of the study was to assess pulmonary veins (PVs) for the presence of stenosis 3 months after cryothermal ablation (CA) with a new method of electrical isolation of PVs using contrast-enhanced …
To investigate the origin of human T-lymphotropic virus I (HTLV-I), strains of diverse geographical origin were analysed. We sequenced the LTR and env genes of HTLV-I strains from Brazil, Central Afri…
CONCLUSION: Cochlear implant (CI) recipients' performance of lexical tone identification and consonant recognition can be enhanced by providing greater spectral details.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effe…
Animal experiments have demonstrated that the minimum R-R interval during atrial fibrillation is proportional to the functional refractory period of the atrioventricular node. On Lorenz plots, atrial …
Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesvirus (EEHV) is emerging as a new threat for elephant conservation, since being identified as the cause of severe, often fatal, haemorrhagic disease in young Asian elep…
BACKGROUND: Men and women have experienced differing patterns of urbanization. Men spent more time in the city as migrant labourers, which could be attributed to the influx control legislation during …
BACKGROUND: Atrioventricular (AV) node vagal stimulation (AVNVS) has recently emerged as a novel approach to controlling AV dromotropic function. Animal studies have demonstrated that selective epicar…
A trial to control G. m. morsitans with the use of 980 odour-baited, insecticide-impregnated targets was conducted in a 300 km2 area in the Eastern Province of Zambia between 1989 and 1991. The area i…
We investigated the prevalence and characteristics of intrapulmonary shunt using contrast echocardiography with harmonic imaging in 130 liver transplant candidates. We found a high prevalence of intra…
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: It has been hypothesized that composite wear is correlated to filler particle content. There is a paucity of research to substantiate this theory despite numerous projects evalua…
Gestation is a unique physiologic state that carries with it several immunologic consequences and results in changing susceptibility to various diseases. In contrast to the well recognized excess vuln…
Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is demanding and time consuming. Robotically controlled catheter ablation reduces operator fatigue and exposure to X-rays, and provides greater precis…
