13. Role of transient ischaemia and perioperative myocardial infarction in the genesis of new septal wall motion abnormalities after coronary bypass surgery.
To evaluate the role of ischaemia in the genesis of new septal wall motion abnormalities after coronary artery bypass surgery 45 patients were studied by cross sectional echocardiography before and 8-10 days after operation. Regional left ventricular wall motion was classified as normal, hypokinetic, akinetic, or dyskinetic. Septal wall motion abnormalities

14. Contraction Transients of Skinned Muscle Fibers
The contraction kinetics of calcium-activated skinned muscle fibers were studied after step decreases in load by means of a quickly responding recording system. The steady velocity at a given relative load was close to that found in electrically stimulated, intact muscle fibers. The presteady motion had the same shape as that of intact fibers, but the time s

15. Oligosaccharide motion in erythrocyte membranes investigated by picosecond fluorescence polarization and microsecond dichroism of an optical probe.
Oligosaccharide chains on the surfce of human erythrocytes were labeled with the probe eosin 5-thiosemicarbazide. The probe was conjugated to aldehydes produced by oxidation of sialic acid and galactose residues. The probe is associated mostly with glycophorin A after sialic acid labeling, whereas multiple components, including band 3 and lipids, are labeled

16. Microrheometry of semiflexible actin networks through enforced single-filament reptation: Frictional coupling and heterogeneities in entangled networks
Magnetic tweezers are applied to study the enforced motion of single actin filaments in entangled actin networks to gain insight into friction-mediated entanglement in semiflexible macromolecular networks. Magnetic beads are coupled to one chain end of test filaments, which are pulled by 5 to 20 pN force pulses through entangled solutions of nonlabeled actin

17. Detection of temporary lateral confinement of membrane proteins using single-particle tracking analysis.
Techniques such as single-particle tracking allow the characterization of the movements of single or very few molecules. Features of the molecular trajectories, such as confined diffusion or directed transport, can reveal interesting biological interactions, but they can also arise from simple Brownian motion. Careful analysis of the data, therefore, is nece

18. Atrial and ventricular function after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE--Previous studies on atrial recovery after cardioversion of atrial fibrillation have not taken into account new knowledge about the pathophysiology of transmitral and transtricuspid flow velocity patterns. It is possible to shed further light on this problem if atrioventricular inflow velocity, venous filling pattern, and atrioventricular annulus m

19. Analysis of red blood cell motion through cylindrical micropores: effects of cell properties.
Filtration through micropores is frequently used to assess red blood cell deformability, but the dependence of pore transit time on cell properties is not well understood. A theoretical model is used to simulate red cell motion through cylindrical micropores with diameters of 3.6, 5, and 6.3 microns, and 11-microns length, at driving pressures of 100-1000 dy

20. Light chain-dependent myosin structural dynamics in solution investigated by transient electrical birefringence.
The technique of transient electrical birefringence was used to compare some of the electric and structural dynamic properties of myosin subfragment 1 (S1(elc, rlc)), which has both the essential and regulatory light chains bound, to S1(elc), which has only an essential light chain. The rates of rotational Brownian motion indicate that S1(elc, rlc) is larger

21. Nonrandom structures in the locomotor behavior of Halobacterium: a bifurcation route to chaos?
Halobacteria spontaneously reverse their swimming direction about every 10-15 s. They respond to light stimuli by a transient perturbation of this rhythm. During periodic stimulation the system shows features that are known from nonlinear oscillators. Increasing stimulation frequencies cause the following phenomena: (i) the frequency of reversals follows the

22. Large-scale flow generation in turbulent convection
In a horizontal layer of fluid heated from below and cooled from above, cellular convection with horizontal length scale comparable to the layer depth occurs for small enough values of the Rayleigh number. As the Rayleigh number is increased, cellular flow disappears and is replaced by a random array of transient plumes. Upon further increase, these plumes d

23. Mechanisms of excitation-contraction coupling failure during metabolic inhibition in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes.
1. The effects of complete metabolic inhibition on excitation-contraction coupling in heart were studied by exposing patch-clamped guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, loaded via the patch pipette with the Ca2+ indicator Fura-2 (0.1 mM), to carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP, 1 microM) and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG, 10 mM) while simultaneously r

24. Pursuit of intermittently illuminated moving targets in the human.
1. Experiments have been conducted in order to establish the changes in oculomotor activity which take place when the human subject attempts to pursue an intermittently illuminated moving target. 2. In an initial experiment, target motion in the horizontal plane was composed of one or two sinusoids at frequencies between 0.11 and 0.2 Hz. The target was illum
