Comparative dipolar electrocardiotopographic study of ventricular activation in Macaca mulatta monkeys and man.
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrocardiographic correlates of ventricular activation sequence were studied in 22 Macaca mulatta monkeys, aged 1-18 years, and 145 human subjects, aged 11-72 years, using the corrected orthogonal lead system of McFee-Parungao and the dipolar electrocardiotopographic (DECARTO) data presentation, where the time series of instantaneous spatial vectors are converted into time series of areas of activation on a spherical image surface enveloping the heart. Macaques had shorter ventricular activation time (61+/-11 vs. 97+/-11 ms) that could not be explained exclusively by their higher heart rate. Their DECARTO image of the resultant activation front occurred 10 ms after QRS onset (septal activation) identically with humans, but it attained a more anteriorly oriented maximum earlier than in humans (20 vs. 40 ms). The time course of the extent of the resultant activation front in old macaques (15-18 years) resembled to that observed in humans. On the average, female macaques had smaller DECARTO images of activation fronts throughout the QRS complex than males. This finding is in agreement with the known smaller QRS amplitudes in women than in men.

Although several species of animals have been reported to be susceptible to staphylococcal enterotoxin, Dack (1956) stated ". . . no experimental animal has been found that will react to the small amount of enterotoxin sufficient to cause severe reactions in man." Of the few animals regularly used to determine the presence of toxin in test samples of material, the Macaca mulatta monkey fed by s...

Objective(s): Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) can effectively promote axonal regeneration,limit axonal retraction,and produce a statistically significant improvement in motor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the role in primate animals with SCI is not fully cognized. Materials and Methods:18 healthy juvenile rhesuses were divided randomly into six groups, obs...

Can monkeys (Macaca mulatta) represent invisible displacement?
Four experiments were conducted to assess whether or not rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) could represent the unperceived movements of a stimulus. Subjects were tested on 2 computerized tasks, HOLE (monkeys) and LASER (humans and monkeys), in which subjects needed to chase or shoot at, respectively, a moving target that either remained visible or became invisible for a portion of its path of mo...

The accurate recognition of individuals is a cornerstone of social exchange in primates. Current approaches to the study of individual recognition, however, are focused on human performance and only occasionally reference comparative research for support. A number of studies have suggested that humans can easily recognize thousands of individual faces and that this perceptual expertise is suppo...
