In various mammalian species, shapes of action potentials vary within the cardiac wall because of differences in transient outward current (Ito). A prominent Ito exists in human ventricular myocytes, but cells have not been separated according to their original localization. Human ventricular myocytes were isolated from separated subepicardial and subendocardial tissue, and regional variations ...

Stochastic differential equations have a built-in direction of time flow since future increments in the driving process are assumed independent of present and past values of the process defined by the solution of the equation. The differential equations are thought of as evolving forward in time, normally from some fixed initial time, and the integral representation of a solution, involving as ...

This investigation reports on the characteristics of MAPbI3 perovskite films on obliquely sputtered ITO/glass substrates that are fabricated with various sputtering times and sputtering angles. The grain size of a MAPbI3 perovskite film increases with the oblique sputtering angle of ITO thin films from 0° to 80°, indicating that the surface properties of the ITO affect the wettability of the PE...

Given the immense variety of compounds being developed for introduction into the human environment, reliable medium term alternatives to traditional long term rodent test protocols for carcinogen risk assessment are a high priority. In vivo models are necessary because it has been well established that there is a lack of complete correlation between mutagenicity and carcinogenicity . Optimally,...

Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome with characteristic whirled hypopigmented skin lesions and neurological manifestations. Less consistently, there may be non-neurological manifestations that include ophthalmic, musculoskeletal, craniofacial, cardiac, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal involvements. We report a case of HI, with typical skin lesions in association with ...

The Japanese species of the genus Adicella McLachlan (Trichoptera, Leptoceridae) are reviewed and confirmed, including a described species and 3 new species: A. makaria Malicky & Chantaramongkol 2002, originally described from Taiwan, A. trichotoma Ito & Kuhara sp. nov., A. paludicola Ito & Kuhara sp. nov., and A. strigillata Katsuma & Ito sp. nov. For clear comparisons, adults of all species a...
