Respiration rate allows to differentiate between happy and sad excerpts which may be attributable to entrainment of respiration to the rhythm or the tempo rather than to emotions [Etzel, J.A., Johnsen, E.L., Dickerson, J., Tranel, D., Adolphs, R., 2006. Cardiovascular and respiratory responses during musical mood induction. Int. J. Psychophysiol. 61(1), 57-69]. In order to test for this hypothe...

All eight stages of a stimulation protocol that used one then two extrastimuli from the right ventricular apex in sinus rhythm and three ventricular drive rates (100, 120, and 140 beats/min) were performed in 24 patients with recurrent spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia despite drug treatment. Twenty two of the patients had sustained a previous myocardial infarct and 18 were on long ...

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AFib) exists more frequently in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) than in patients without, and AFib may be a sign of progressive deterioration of AS. Echocardiographic assessment of AS in sinus rhythm is well documented, however, little is known about AFib in AS since such patients often are excluded from clinical echocardiographic trials. AIM The purpose of ...

Sustained ventricular tachycardia is a rhythm greater than 100 bpm usually lasting more 30 seconds. It manifests with broad QRS tachyarrhythmia which has similar configuration. This happens from one beat to another, showing chain of depolarization for every beat. Ventricular its origin stable focus. However, in conditions like structural cardiac disease, the substrate place that patchy replacem...

It has been demonstrated that a long-term stay in hypergravity (HG: 2G) modified the phenotype and the contractile properties of rat soleus muscle. The ability of this muscle to contract was drastically reduced, which is a sign of anticipated aging. Consequently, our aim was to determine whether rats conceived, born, and reared in hypergravity showed adaptative capacities in normogravity (NG: 1...

Abstract Chronic massive pericardial effusion (PE) without cardiac tamponade is relatively rare. Of all possible etiologies of PE, hypothyroidism an uncommon one. We reported a case 75-year-old woman, admitted at E.R. with confusion and unresponsive status, diffuse face lower limb'swelling . First-level examinations were performed: blood gas analysis showed hypoxia, respiratory acidosis severe ...

Abstract Background The UNTOUCHED study (designed in 2017 and published 2021) demonstrated high success rate for termination of ventricular arrhythmias, very low inappropriate shock subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) recipients. prescribed device programming included a conditional zone between 200 250 beats per minute (bpm) with discrimination algorithms employed to avo...

Basic to both performance and experience of rhythm in music is a connection between musical rhythm and patterns of body movements. A main focus in this study is to investigate possible relations between movement categories and rhythmic expression. An analytical approach to this task is to regard a musician ́s various ways of moving when playing an instrument as an expression of timbral aspects o...

A fundamental feature of the temporal organization of neural activity is phase-amplitude coupling between brain rhythms at different frequencies, where the amplitude of a higher frequency varies according to the phase of a lower frequency. Here, we show that this rule extends to brain-organ interactions. We measured both the infra-slow ( 0.05 Hz) rhythm intrinsically generated by the stomach – ...
