An 80-year-old male with a history of atrial fibrillation and a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker presented to the hospital for an elective colonoscopy. He experienced a transient episode of unresponsiveness with seizure-like activity before the procedure. This prompted him to get an EKG showing deep T-wave inversions (TWIs) in the precordial leads on a background of paced beats. Such findings were concerning for an acute and potentially life-threatening process such as myocardial infarction (MI) or intracranial insult. After ruling out any severe conditions, the EKG findings were attributed to cardiac memory, an underdiagnosed cause of deep TWIs in patients with a pacemaker.

Tartrazine finds widespread application in the realms of alimentation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic formulations, and textile manufacturing. Tartrazine has a negative effect on human health such as hyperactivity, allergies and asthma in children. Substances such as tartrazine might effect the embryo in a kind of aspects, containing physical or mental disorders, and a decrease in the child's intellectual memory.

Purpose: The study aims to identify determinants of implementation behavior among physical therapists frequently promoting physical activity (PA) in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey incorporating the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) and anchored by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was sent to physical therapists working in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation practices in Australia and Singapore. All items on the DIBQ were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree.

Peptide ion mobility adds an extra dimension of separation to mass spectrometry-based proteomics. The ability to accurately predict peptide ion mobility would be useful to expedite assay development and to discriminate true answers in a database search. There are methods to accurately predict peptide ion mobility through drift tube devices, but methods to predict mobility through high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility (FAIMS) are underexplored.

Background: Protein abundance levels, sensitive to both physiological changes and external interventions, are useful for assessing the Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and treatment efficacy. However, identifying proteomic prognostic markers for AD is challenging by their high dimensionality and inherent correlations.
Methods: Our study analyzed 1128 plasma proteins, measured by the SOMAscan platform, from 858 participants 55 years and older (mean age 63 years, 52.

Myocardial infarction can lead to the loss of billions of cardiomyocytes, and while cell-based therapies are an option, immature nature of in vitro-generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iCMs) is a roadblock to their development. Existing iPSC differentiation protocols don't go beyond producing fetal iCMs. Recently, adult extracellular matrix (ECM) was shown to retain tissue memory and have some success driving tissue-specific differentiation in unspecified cells in various organ systems.
