Heart Rhythm

Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Spontaneously occurring life threatening reentrant arrhythmias result when a propagating premature beat encounters a region with significant dispersion of refractoriness. Although localized structural tissue heterogeneities and prescribed cell functional gradients have been incorporated into computational electrophysiological models, a quantitative framework for the evolution from normal to abnormal behavior that occurs via disease is lacking.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a probabilistic modeling framework that represents the complex interplay of cell function and tissue structure in health and disease which predicts the emergence of premature beats and the initiation of reentry.
Alzheimers Dement

Background: When treatments against neurodegenerative diseases eventuate, the most successful time point to administer therapies will be the early stages, most likely before symptoms begin to show. Previous studies have found alpha‐synuclein pathology (Lewy‐related pathology; LRP) in asymptomatic individuals aged 62 years and above, with ranges from 8 to 17%.
Method: We performed immunohistochemical staining with the 5G4 antibody against alpha‐synuclein on brain tissue samples from the Tampere Sudden Death Study – a collection of forensic autopsies on individuals that lived outside hospital institutions in Tampere and the surrounding regions, Finland.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA
Background: Amylin is a systemic hormone that is co‐secreted with insulin from pancreatic β‐cells. Amylin co‐aggregates with brain parenchymal and vascular β‐amyloid in persons with Alzheimer’s dementia. The present pilot study sought to assess the safety and side effects during and after the treatment period of passive amylin immunotherapy in the APP/PS1 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

Background: Cardiac fibrosis plays a critical role in the progression of various forms of heart disease, significantly increasing the risk of sudden cardiac death. However, currently, there are no therapeutic strategies available to prevent the onset of cardiac fibrosis.
Methods And Results: Here, biomimetic ATP-responsive nanozymes based on genetically engineered cell membranes are adapted to specifically recognize activated cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.

The present study aimed to investigate the episodes of per-acute mortality due to peste des petits ruminants (PPR) that resulted in the death of 30 animals of different species of cervids, namely, barking deer, four-horned antelope, hog deer, thamin, and mouse deer in the State Zoo of Assam, a northeastern state of India. The affected animals showed no to limited clinical signs. However, the necropsy and histopathological findings were highly suggestive of PPR virus (PPRV) infection observed in domestic small ruminants.
