Nonuniform responses of transmembrane potential during electric field stimulation of single cardiac cells.
The response of cellular transmembrane potentials ( V m) to applied electric fields is a critical factor during electrical pacing, cardioversion, and defibrillation, yet the coupling relationship of the cellular response to field intensity and polarity is not well documented. Isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes were stained with a voltage-sensitive fluorescent dye, di-8-ANEPPS (10 μM). A g...
متن کاملMechanisms of make and break excitation revisited: paradoxical break excitation during diastolic stimulation.
Onset and termination of electric stimulation may result in "make" and "break" excitation of the heart tissue. Wikswo et al. (30) explained both types of stimulations by virtual electrode polarization. Make excitation propagates from depolarized regions (virtual cathodes). Break excitation propagates from hyperpolarized regions (virtual anodes). However, these studies were limited to strong sti...
متن کاملConcentrated high intensity electric field ( CHIEF ) pasteurization of milk
Concentrated high intensity electric field (CHIEF) is non-thermal pasteurization technology that uses microsecond pulses of electricity to inactivate bacteria without causing undesirable changes in flavor or quality of a product. This technology was explored as an alternative to current milk pasteurization processes, and was examined for its effects on microbial stability, sensory, quality and ...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of Tissue Conductivity during High-frequency and Low-voltage Irreversible Electroporation
Introduction: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a process in which the membrane of the cancer cells are irreversibly damaged with the use of high-intensity electric pulses, which in turn leads to cell death. The IRE is a non-thermal way to ablate the cancer cells. This process relies on the distribution of the electric field, which affects the pulse amplitude, width, and electrical conducti...
متن کاملDeterminants of the electric field during transcranial direct current stimulation
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) causes a complex spatial distribution of the electric current flow in the head which hampers the accurate localization of the stimulated brain areas. In this study we show how various anatomical features systematically shape the electric field distribution in the brain during tDCS. We constructed anatomically realistic finite element (FEM) models o...
