Beat Heart Disease

Ribozymes: catalytic RNAs that cut things, make things, and do odd and useful jobs.

Catalytic RNAs, or ribozymes, are a fossil record of the ancient molecular evolution of life on earth and still provide the essential core of macromolecule synthesis in all life forms today. Are they also an avenue to the development of new catalysts to recreate evolution, or to use as therapeutics and molecule sensors.

Invariant heart beat span versus variant heart beat intervals and its application to fetal ECG extraction

BACKGROUND The fundamental assumptions for various kinds of fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) extraction methods are not consistent with each other, which is a very important problem needed to be ascertained. METHODS Based on two public databases, the regularity on ECG wave durations for normal sinus rhythm is investigated statistically. Taking the ascertained regularity as an assumption, a new ...

From music-beat to heart-beat: a journey in the complex interactions between music, brain and heart.

Although the potential influence of music in eliciting organic reactions has been appreciated since the ancient Assyrian and Greek cultures, its relationship with body responses has been believed for long to belong to the field of magic. Growing experimental evidence now attests that some kind of music might indeed modulate several cardiac and neurological functions, as well as trigger biochemi...
