Cardiac pacemaking remains an unsolved matter from many perspectives. Extensive experimental and computational studies have been performed to describe the sinoatrial physiology across different scales, from the molecular to clinical levels. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which a heartbeat is generated inside the sinoatrial node and propagated to the working myocardium is not fully understood at present.

Memory impairment imposes a great burden on stroke patients and can be divided into Objective Memory Problems (OMPs) and Subjective Memory Complaints (SMCs). Studies have shown that these do not always co-occur. Possibly, the gap between SMCs and OMPs can be bridged when using a more ecologically valid memory test and considering the impact of other common stroke symptoms such as sensory hypersensitivity (SHS) and fatigue.

Article Synopsis
  • Sensory hypersensitivity (SHS) is a common issue after acquired brain injury (ABI) that negatively impacts both mental and physical health.
  • The study involved 19 adults with ABI who participated in interviews to identify triggers for SHS and how they cope with it, revealing a model that connects sensory environment demands with individual coping resources.
  • This model suggests SHS arises from mismatches in the sensory environment and personal resources, creating a cycle affected by fatigue, and highlights potential coping strategies to improve outcomes for ABI patients.
