Article Synopsis
  • The Wellens pattern is a specific T-wave change in ECG readings that occurs in patients with chest pain and atherosclerosis, typically appearing as symmetrical or biphasic T-wave inversions in the precordial leads.
  • The deep T-wave inversion can indicate various conditions, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, vasospasm, or pulmonary embolism.
  • A case study is presented where a patient showed symptoms consistent with the Wellens and McGinn-White patterns, ultimately diagnosed with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism after ruling out coronary artery disease, highlighting the need for careful differential diagnosis for T-wave inversions.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a highly versatile tool for cell and tissue analysis. Modern commercial FTIR microspectroscopes allow the acquisition of good-quality hyperspectral images from cytopathological samples within relatively short times. This study aims at assessing the abilities of FTIR spectra to discriminate different types of cultured skin cell lines by different computer analysis technologies.
