Autoantibodies are produced to target an individual's own antigens (e.g. proteins). They can trigger autoimmune responses and inflammation, and thus, cause many types of diseases. Many high-throughput autoantibody profiling projects have been reported for unbiased identification of serological autoantigen-based biomarkers. However, a lack of centralized data portal for these published assays ha...

Cooperative Automatic Retransmission reQuest (C-ARQ) schemes have become a very active research topic over the last years. C-ARQ schemes constitute a practical way of executing cooperation in wireless networks with already existing equipment. C-ARQ schemes exploit feedback from the receiver, i.e. cooperation is only executed when needed, and thus are sometimes referred to as cooperation on-dema...

For patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has evolved to the standard of care. minimization reconnection, for reduction complications and improvement PVI efficiency, also in a timely manner, many catheter technologies have been developed already. A new ablation modality that regard is radiofrequency balloon-catheter (RF-BC). However evidence concernin...

Skin is in constant evolution from the embryo state, reciprocal control between epidermis and neurons different ages of life little known. Our objective was to characterize epidermal neuronal interaction juvenile or adult using a new model re-innervated epidermis. Human sensory were obtained iPS cells, their differentiation functionality validated by observation morphology, markers expression, ...

Catheter ablation, a widely performed rhythm control strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF), has variable results in the complete suppression of arrhythmia recurrence, especially obese patients. Structural remodeling left atrium (LA), evidenced by LA enlargement and fibrosis, is well-known substrate AF. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thought to be crucial factor mediating cardiovascular disease...
