Cardiac Muscle Did you ever watch a medical show on television where one of the patients went into cardiac arrest? If so, you probably know that means they were having a heart attack. Because the word 'cardiac' refers to things dealing with the heart, it is easy to see that cardiac ...
the dosage of the drug should be adjusted. Because of its large volume of distribution, digoxin cannot be removed by peritoneal dialysis.3Digoxin is stored in the skeletal muscle, not fat, so dosage should be calculated on lean body mass. Digoxin has been shown to cross the placenta in huma...
For RNA extraction, cardiac specimens (muscle bundles that are routinely resected from the RVOT as part of surgery) were recovered of 11 pediatric patients with sporadic TOF cardiac defects and cyanosis (repeated oxygen saturation measurements of ≤91.0% on room air, mean 85.3 ± 3.3%, ...
Results: This work introduces lifex-ep, a publicly available software for numerical simulations of the electrophysiology activity of the cardiac muscle, under both normal and pathological conditions. lifex-ep employs the monodomain equation to model the heart's ...
(REVIGO) web application23. This analysis identified clusters of biological processes involved in: cardiac development (including embryonic heart tube morphogenesis, muscle structure development, trabeculae formation and vasculogenesis); muscle cell differentiation and regulation of organ growth; actin filament...
Rosenberg proposed the term sarcopenia, from the Greek sarco = muscle and penia = loss, for the decrease in skeletal muscle mass associated with aging, which had been the case for about 30 years.30 Subsequently, The European working group on sarcopenia in older people (EWGSOP)31 and the ...
For example, maximal oxygen consumption is determined in part by the finite nature of the overall muscle diffusive conductance between the red cells and mitochondria.47 The fall in maximal V̇o2 with hypoxia and increase in hyperoxia is further compatible with this notion. Behavior of oxygen ...
Although MeCP2 is expressed in several mouse tissues including brain, lung, skeletal muscle and heart, its relevance to neuronal function became evident only after the finding that mutations in the MeCP2 gene cause Rett syndrome (RTT)4,5,6. RTT (MIM #312750) is a neurodevelopmental disorder...
After 3 months, infarcted regions of the hearts were sectioned and stained for EYFP to detect the injected Mesp1-CPCs and their terminally differentiated progeny: cardiac myocytes, smooth muscle and endothelial cells with anti-cTnT, α-SMA and Pecam1. The majority of EYFP/cTnT double ...
Various amounts of white and brown fat may cause inflammation and even fibrosis which disrupts the muscle fibers [13]. Usually, LHIS requires no treatment, but when symptomatic, surgical excision may be an option [4]. Echocardiography, transthoracic and/or transesophageal, can describe the ...
