Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

600
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Conduction System of the Heart01:19

Conduction System of the Heart

13.6K
Autorhythmicity is a term that refers to the heart's inherent ability to generate electrical signals and instigate muscle contractions. This self-regulating conduction system within the heart consists of two key components: the pacemaker cells and specialized conducting cells.
The pacemaker cells are located in two primary nodes: the sinoatrial (SA) node and the atrioventricular (AV) node. The SA node pacemaker cells can autonomously depolarize, triggering an action potential that leads to the...

Conduction System of the Heart

4.0K
The cardiac conduction system produces and transmits electrical impulses that prompt myocardial contraction, ensuring efficient heart function. This intricate system ensures that the heart beats in a coordinated and efficient manner, beginning with the atria and then the ventricles. The conduction system optimizes cardiac output by maintaining this precise sequence, which is crucial for adequate blood circulation.
This system relies on the unique properties of nodal and Purkinje cells:...

Electrical Conductivity01:13

Electrical Conductivity

1.8K
In perfect conductors, the electric field inside is always zero due to the abundance of free electrons, which nullify any field by flowing. As a result, any residual charge resides on the surface.
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices
  • Vascular Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate lumen vessel sizing is crucial for successful interventional outcomes in vascular disease treatment.
  • Current methods often require saline injections, adding complexity and potential complications.

  • To develop an injection-less method for determining lumen diameter using multiple electrical frequencies.
  • To eliminate the need for saline injections in vascular measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized electrical conductance devices and a mathematical electrical model.
  • Performed in vitro experiments with varying lumen diameters using 5-5-5 (peripheral) and 2-2-2 (coronary) spacing conductance guidewires.
  • Validated a two-frequency model for lumen area and diameter estimation.

Main Results:

  • The developed two-frequency model reasonably predicted lumen diameter in in vitro setups.
  • The majority of 11 vessel data points fell within one standard deviation of the predicted values.
  • All data points were within two standard deviations, indicating good accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The injection-less, two-frequency electrical conductance method shows promise for accurate lumen diameter assessment.
  • This approach has the potential for in vivo application, enabling detailed lumen area profiling.
  • Successful translation to in vivo use could significantly enhance interventional vascular procedures.
