Gauging the risk of arrhythmic death by common genetic variants: resurgence of the sinister QT.
The holy grail of personalized medicine in clinical cardiac electrophysiology is to establish a reproducible genetic imprint or the associated intermediate phenotype (“endophenotype”) that would with high accuracy predict arrhythmic death in an individual. Although we are far from it, the study in this issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics by Noseworthy et al1 is another step in the rig...

Whereas someone exhibiting marked prolongation of the QT interval with QTc exceeding 500 ms who was just externally defibrillated from torsades de pointes while swimming poses negligible diagnostic challenge as to the unequivocal probability of LQTS, the certai...

Motor responses evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation OMS) or transcranial electrical stimulation (TCS) can be facilitated by a prior conditioning stimulus to an afferent nerve. Two facilitation periods are described short (SI), when the nerve stimulus is given near 0 to 10 ms after cranial stimulation, and long (LI), when nerve stimulation is given 25-60 ms before the cranial stimula...

متن کاملLooking at perspective pictures from too far, too close, and just right.
A central problem for psychology is vision's reaction to perspective. In the present studies, observers looked at perspective pictures projected by square tiles on a ground plane. They judged the tile dimensions while positioned at the correct distance, farther or nearer. In some pictures, many tiles appeared too short to be squares, many too long, and many just right. The judgments were strong...
