Published: July 1991

The final stage of a system for automatic monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias is the diagnosis of the rhythm or arrhythmia present in the patient during the monitoring process. In this paper we approach the detection process by means of the analysis of the electrocardiographic signal (ECG) on a surface lead produced by those arrhythmias which can be recognized by identifying specific beat sequences and taking into account contextual information, mainly rhythm information. We have developed a diagnosis process for arrhythmias which uses a fuzzy classification of beats according to their etiology or focus of origin. The process we describe permits a more adequate consideration by the user of the arrhythmias diagnosed by the system, mainly in those cases in which the information derived from ECG analysis is not determinant.

Humans have the spontaneous capacity to track the beat of music. Yet some individuals show marked difficulties. To investigate the neural correlates of this condition known as beat deafness, the cortical electric activity of ten beat-deaf adults, the largest cohort studied so far, as well as of 14 matched controls (Experiment 2), and 16 university students (Experiment 1) were examined.

We developed Del-read, an algorithm targeting medium-sized deletions (6-100 bp) in short-reads, which are challenging for current variant callers relying on alignment. Our focus was on Micro-Homolog mediated End Joining deletions (MMEJ-dels), prevalent in myeloid malignancies. MMEJ-dels follow a distinct pattern, occurring between two homologies, allowing us to generate a comprehensive list of MMEJ-dels in the exome.

Article Synopsis
  • Bacteriophages have developed various strategies to avoid detection by CRISPR-Cas defense systems.
  • The origin of these anti-CRISPR mechanisms is not well understood.
  • Recent research by Katz et al. suggests that some anti-CRISPRs may have evolved from CRISPR-Cas system genes.

Objective: To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of a child with Triadin knockout syndrome (TKOS), and to review the relevant literature of TKOS patients due to variants of TRDN gene.

Methods: A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University on March 19, 2023 due to sudden cardiac arrest 3 days earlier was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples (2 to 3 mL) were collected from the child and her parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and whole exome sequencing (WES).
