Lujan HL, DiCarlo SE. Cardiac electrophysiology and the susceptibility to sustained ventricular tachycardia in intact, conscious mice. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 306: H1213–H1221, 2014. First published February 21, 2014; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00780.2013.—Cardiac electrophysiological dysfunction is a major cause of death in humans. Accordingly, electrophysiological testing is routinely perfo...

The capacity to selectively mutate genes or create excessive or deleted gene expression in mice has yielded a powerful new approach to structure-function studies of cardiac proteins and their role in heart disease. As it happened, the molecular techniques required to generate such animals developed more rapidly than did the methods for studying the chamber physiological phenotype. Mainly becaus...

Non-verbal communications could be a part of visual signs that, because of their importance in interpersonal relationships and transition of meaning, are highly regarded by psychologists and sociologists. One of the major subdivisions of this topic is called "Body Language" that has existed in all human societies since ancient times. These non-verbal signs, some thousands of years old, have cul...

THE TEACHING OF PHYSIOLOGY is indispensable in many biological and health disciplines. Physiology is one of the major components of the curriculum in a number of life science courses, including the study of life, cells, tissues, and organisms as well as their functions (7). A bigger challenge for physiology teachers is to make physiological concepts attractive to students, particularly since st...
