Whither art thou, SCN10A, and what art thou doing?

Since its initial cloning in 1992, SCN5A (Nav1.5) has become known as “the” cardiac sodium channel.1 SCN5A encodes a tetrodotoxin (TTX)-resistant channel that is responsible for the inward sodium current (INa), which initiates the cardiac action potential. Its RNA and protein expression dominate the sodium channel landscape in the ventricle, atrium, and specialized conduction system. Mice heter...

Whither goest the right ventricle in obstructive sleep apnea?

5 and control of hemorrhage technically much easier. Those who are unfamiliar with the instrumentation will find themselves lost; those who are overly enthusiastic will find themselves in trouble; and those who lose sight of their priorities will do harm to their patients. Video thoracoscopy rationally practiced by qualified, responsible physicians offers a great deal to our patients. With cont...

I, thou, and we: a dialogical approach to couples therapy.

This paper examines the relational view of the person in Martin Buber's philosophy of dialogue. Shifts toward the relational are considered in the context of human development, gender studies, psychotherapy, and family therapy. A dialogical approach to couples therapy is presented, in which partners are encouraged to move toward a more collaborative, empathic relationship--a relationship of "I ...

Radiopharmaceutical therapy for palliation of bone pain from osseous metastases.

Bone metastasis occurs as a result of a complex pathophysiologic process between host and tumor cells leading to cellular invasion, migration adhesion, and stimulation of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity. The process is mediated by parathyroid hormones, cytokines, and tumor-derived factors. Several sequelae occur as a result of osseous metastases and resulting bone pain can lead to signif...
