Clinical observations and animal experiments indicate that T wave alternans (TWA) is associated with an increased propensity for ventricular fibrillation, and thus it may be considered as a noninvasive marker of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. There is substantial evidence indicating that TWA is an intrinsic property of ischemic myocardium. This study was performed to determine the role of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)-induced myocardial ischemia in the development of TWA and the effects of revascularization. The authors recorded bipolar X, Y, and Z leads of 111 consecutive patients (mean age: 56 years) undergoing PTCA before, during, and 24 hours after the procedure. T wave alternans signal was calculated in 97 patients (43 left anterior descending, 26 right coronary artery, and 28 circumflex or major obtuse margin branch) by fast Fourier transformation technique after signal processing. Twenty-four hours after the procedure, the mean and peak X, Y, and Z values for TWA had all been significantly reduced from baseline and during balloon inflation (p<0.01). The findings point out that induced ischemia could be a trigger for T wave alternans, and succesful revascularization can reduce alternans.

DynaDom: structure-based prediction of T cell receptor inter-domain and T cell receptor-peptide-MHC (class I) association angles Hoffmann, Thomas; Marıon, Antoıne; Antes, Iris (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-02-02) Background: T cell receptor (TCR) molecules are involved in the adaptive immune response as they distinguish between self- and foreign-peptides, presented in major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHC). Former studies showed that the association angles of the TCR variable domains (Va/V beta) can differ significantly and change upon binding to the pMHC complex. These changes can be described as a rotation of the domains around a general Center of Rotation, characterized by the interaction of two highly...
High frequency oscillations in the subthalamic nucleus: A neurophysiological marker of the motor state in Parkinson's disease Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Butz, Markus; Homburger, Melanie; Elben, Saskia; Vesper, Jan; Wojtecki, Lars; Schnitzler, Alfons (2011-06-01) Increasing evidence suggests that abnormal oscillatory activity in basal ganglia and cortex plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease. Recordings of local field potentials from subthalamic nucleus of patients undergoing deep brain stimulation have focused on oscillations occurring at frequencies below 100 Hz in the alpha, beta and gamma range and suggested that, in particular, an increase of beta band oscillations underlies slowing of movement in Parkinson's disease. Recent findings...
FT-IR spectroscopy in diagnosis of diabetes in rat animal model Severcan, Feride; Bozkurt, Ozlem; Gurbanov, Rafig; Gorgulu, Guvenc (2010-08-01) In recent years, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has had an increasingly important role in the field of pathology and diagnosis of disease states. In the current study, FT-IR spectroscopy together with cluster analysis were used as a diagnostic tool in the discrimination of diabetic samples from control ones in rat kidney plasma membrane apical sides (brush-border membranes), liver microsomal membranes and Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and Soleus (SOL) skeletal muscle tissues
Distinct oscillatory STN-cortical loops revealed by simultaneous MEG and local field potential recordings in patients with Parkinson's disease Hirschmann, J.; Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Butz, M.; Homburger, M.; Elben, S.; Hartmann, C. J.; Vesper, J.; Wojtecki, L.; Schnitzler, A. (2011-04-01) Neuronal oscillations are assumed to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) generate oscillations which are coupled to rhythmic population activity both in other basal ganglia nuclei and cortical areas.
