Recent studies have analyzed the high-fidelity surface electrocardiographic signal, and efforts have been made to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of the electrocardiogram by observing its high-frequency components. It was found that the high-frequency (150-250-Hz) electrocardiogram appears to detect evidence of transient ischemia with greater sensitivity than visual inspection of the surfac...

OBJECTIVE The P-QRS-T wave on surface electrocardiogram (ECG) reflects the changes in atrial and ventricular electrical properties. However, the atrioventricular conduction system potentials cannot be recorded to date. This study aimed to explore the possibility of micropotential of the atrioventricular conduction system recorded by surface "SAN-Atrial-AVN-His (Saah) ECG." METHODS We randomiz...

BACKGROUND The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of sleep deprivation and dietary irregularities during Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) on selective fitness profile parameters in young untrained male Muslim individuals. METHODS 77 untrained Muslim men were recruited in the study. They were divided into the experimental group (EG; n=37, age: 22.62±1.77 years) and the cont...

We study the sum of many independent spike trains and ask whether the resulting spike train has Poisson statistics or not. It is shown that for a non-Poissonian statistics of the single spike train, the resulting sum of spikes has exponential interspike interval (ISI) distributions, vanishing the ISI correlation at a finite lag but exhibits exactly the same power spectrum as the original spike ...

According to research examining self‐regulated learning (SRL), we regard individual regulation as a specific sequence of regulatory activities. Ideally, students perform various learning activities, such as analyzing, monitoring, and evaluating cognitive and motivational aspects during learning. Metacognitive prompts can foster SRL by inducing regulatory activities, w...

Let EG be a holomorphic principal G–bundle over a compact connected Riemann surface, where G is a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over C, such that EG admits a holomorphic connection. Take any β ∈ H(X, ad(EG)), where ad(EG) is the adjoint vector bundle for EG, such that the conjugacy class β(x) ∈ g/G, x ∈ X , is independent of x. We give a sufficient condition for the existen...

This study develops a self-generated drawing environment for the support of young children’s writing and storytelling skill through the implementation of drawing, writing, and storytelling activities. In particular, each student used a tablet PC to share a story and drawings based on written text. An experiment was conducted in a primary school with 116 1st grade students from four classes (div...

BACKGROUND Research supports a link between exercise and falls prevention in the older population. OBJECTIVES Our aims were to evaluate pain perception and balance skills in a group of elderly subjects and to examine the consequences of a standardized equipment-free exercise program intervention on these variables. The study utilized a randomized controlled trial method. METHODS 92 subjects...

Alcohol intoxication is a potentially under-recognised precipitant of Brugada syndrome. Higher pre-cordial electrocardiogram lead placement increases sensitivity of detecting the Brugada pattern.

Action potentials were recorded from different regions of the guinea pig ventricle to characterize regional differences in waveform configuration, and to acquire insight into the generation of the T-wave of the electrocardiogram. Isolated tissue preparations were driven at 1 Hz, and microelectrodes were used to map accessible surface regions of the epicardium, endocardium, and septum. There wer...
