High-frequency QRS analysis to supplement ST evaluation in exercise stress electrocardiography: Incremental diagnostic accuracy and net reclassification.

Background: Exercise stress electrocardiography (ECG) alone is underutilized in part due to poor diagnostic accuracy. High-frequency QRS analysis (HF-QRS) is a novel tool to supplement ST evaluation during stress ECG. We compared the diagnostic accuracy and net reclassification of HF-QRS analysis compared with ST evaluation for substantial myocardial ischemia by exercise SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).

Cryptic protein-protein interaction motifs in the cytoplasmic domain of MHCI proteins.

Background: Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) proteins present antigenic peptides for immune surveillance and play critical roles in nervous system development and plasticity. Most MHCI are transmembrane proteins. The extracellular domain of MHCI interacts with immunoreceptors, peptides, and co-receptors to mediate immune signaling.
