Background—Monitoring implantable cardiac device function and patient condition is important. The Lumos-T Safely Reduces Routine Office Device Follow-Up (TRUST) trial tested the hypothesis that remote home monitoring with automatic daily surveillance (HM) is safe and effective for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator follow-up for 1 year and enables rapid physician evaluation of significant e...

Ferritin and Hemosiderin (Hm) are the iron-storing “elements” in cells. Whereas Ferritin is a wellcharacterized soluble protein that has been extensively studied [1–5], the term Hemosiderin does not have the same clarity of meaning for the pathologist, biochemist or electron microscopist. For the pathologist [6], Hm represents iron-containing conglomerates, stainable with Perl’s stain. For the ...

Head motion (HM) is a critical confounding factor in functional MRI. Here we investigate whether HM during resting state functional MRI (RS-fMRI) is influenced by genetic factors in a sample of 462 twins (65% female; 101 MZ (monozygotic) and 130 DZ (dizygotic) twin pairs; mean age: 21 (SD = 3.16), range 16-29). Heritability estimates for three HM components-mean translation (MT), maximum transl...

Human milk (HM) contains regulatory biomolecules including miRNAs, the origin and functional significance of which are still undetermined. We used TaqMan OpenArrays to profile 681 mature miRNAs in HM cells and fat, and compared them with maternal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and plasma, and bovine and soy infant formulae. HM cells and PBMCs (292 and 345 miRNAs, respectively) had h...

OBJECTIVE Many previous reports have demonstrated significant neural anatomy changes in the brain of high myopic (HM) patients, whereas the spontaneous brain activity changes in the HM patients at rest are not well studied. Our objective was to use amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method to investigate the changes in spontaneous brain activity in HM patients and their relationships...

BACKGROUND Monitoring performance of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) generators and leads is important. Methods available are with in-person evaluations or by automatic remote home monitoring (HM). These were prospectively evaluated and compared in the TRUST trial. The HM technology tested performed daily self-checks and databasing with rapid event notifications for out-of-range (i...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the kinetics of true ileal protein digestion and digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) of a goat milk-based infant formula (GIF), a cow milk-based infant formula (CIF), and human milk (HM). METHODS The GIF, CIF, and HM were investigated in an in vitro gastrointestinal model simulating infant conditions. Digested compounds were dialy...

sis saturnus var. mrakii IFO 0895, is a strong anti-yeast protein and belongs to the K9-type killer toxin group. HM-1 consists of 88 amino acids and is stable to heat treatment and various pH conditions. The three-dimensional structure of HM-1 has been elucidated using nuclear magnetic resonance. The interactions of HM-1 with sensitive yeast are evaluated in two steps: an initial binding to cel...
