Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Premature Ageing of the Female Reproductive Function.

Curr Aging Sci

December 2017

Laboratory of Biochemistry, D.O. Ott Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductology; 3, Mendeleyev Line, St. Petersburg, 199034, Russian Federation.

Industrial xenobitics, as well as endogenous damaging factors, such as L-homocysteine, are a well-known source of reactive oxygen species that disrupt biological processes. Among many others, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone synthesis and secretion mediated by a variety of neurotransmitters, which are under control of the hypothalamus and pineal gland, may be put in peril by reactive oxygen species. Their formation can be one of the reasons for the reproductive function shutdown in ageing as the generic response to the damaging factors independent of their nature.

Device-Detected Atrial Fibrillation-Perils and Pitfalls: An Update.

Cardiol Clin

May 2016

Sparrow Thoracic and Cardiovascular Institute, Michigan State University, Lansing, MI, USA. Electronic address:

Stroke and thromboembolism are catastrophic complications of atrial fibrillation (AF). Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) with an atrial lead can reliably detect atrial high-rate events (AHRE). However, this correlation may be imperfect because of oversensing and undersensing of atrial signals and spurious arrhythmias.

Failure of communication and capture: The perils of temporary unipolar pacing system.

J Arrhythm

June 2015

Department of Cardiology, Baptist Medical Center South, United States ; Department of Internal Medicine, UAB Montgomery, United States.

We present a case of a patient with pacemaker dependence secondary to complete heart block who developed loss of capture of her temporary pacemaker. Patient developed torsades de pointes then ventricular fibrillation, requiring CPR and external cardioversion. After patient was stabilized, it was noticed that loss of capture of pacemaker corresponded with nursing care, when the pulse generator was lifted off patient׳s chest wall, and that patient׳s temporary pacing system had been programmed to unipolar mode without knowledge of attending cardiologist.
