Design and modelling of a tubular dielectric elastomer actuator with constrained radial displacement as a cardiac assist device

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne, Armando Matthieu Walter

In this paper, we propose an improvement of a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) based augmented aorta. The actuator is a multi-layered tubular DEA subject to the internal pressure of the blood. When activated in synchronisation with the heart, the DEA su ...

Ultrasound Stimulations Induce Prolonged Depolarization and Fast Action Potentials in Leech Neurons

Silvestro Micera, Théo Lemaire

Objective: Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced generation of action ...

Intracellular recording of cardiomyocyte action potentials with nanopatterned volcano-shaped microelectrodes

Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles

Micro-nanotechnology based multielectrode arrays have led to remarkable progress in the field of transmembrane voltage recordings of excitable cells. However, electrode geometries alone have failed to produce a cell-electrode interface that is sufficiently ...

Heart Rate Variability Triangular Index as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter

Background Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased mortality in sinus rhythm. However, HRV has not been systematically assessed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that parameters of HRV may be predictive o ...

Severe and uniform bi-atrial remodeling measured by dominant frequency analysis in persistent atrial fibrillation unresponsive to ablation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Andréa Buttu, Adrian Luca

Background High values of ECG and intracardiac dominant frequency (DF) are indicative of significant atrial remodeling in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF). We hypothesized that patients with peAF unresponsive to ablation display higher ECG and intraca ...

Intracellular Recording of Cardiomyocyte Action Potentials with Nanopatterned Volcano-Shaped Microelectrode Arrays

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Benoît Xavier Emmanuel Desbiolles

Micronanotechnology-based multielectrode ar- rays have led to remarkable progress in the field of transmembrane voltage recording of excitable cells. However, providing long-term optoporation- or electroporation-free intracellular access remains a consider ...

A Kinetic Map of the Homomeric Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel (Kv) Family

Henry Markram, Rajnish Ranjan, Emmanuelle Logette, Enrico Scantamburlo, Michela Marani, Valérie Buchillier, Mirjia Herzog

The voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels, encoded by 40 genes, repolarize all electrically excitable cells, including plant, cardiac, and neuronal cells. Although these genes were fully sequenced decades ago, a comprehensive kinetic characterization of al ...

Damage of eukaryotic cells by the pore-forming toxin sticholysin II: Consequences of the potassium efflux

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Sylvia Ho

Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) form holes in membranes causing one of the most catastrophic damages to a target cell. Target organisms have evolved a regulated response against PFTs damage including cell membrane repair. This ability of cells strongly depends ...

Analytical approach to an integrate-and-fire model with spike-triggered adaptation

Tilo Schwalger

The calculation of the steady-state probability density for multidimensional stochastic systems that do not obey detailed balance is a difficult problem. Here we present the analytical derivation of the stationary joint and various marginal probability den ...

Assessment of Pseudo-Bilayer Structures in the Heterogate Germanium Electron-Hole Bilayer Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Cem Alper, José Luis Padilla de la Torre

We investigate the effect of pseudo-bilayer configurations at low operating voltages (

Mathematical modelling of active contraction in isolated cardiomyocytes

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Simone Rossi, Aymen Laadhari

We investigate the interaction of intracellular calcium spatio-temporal variations with the self-sustained contractions in cardiac myocytes. A consistent mathematical model is presented considering a hyperelastic description of the passive mechanical prope ...

High Bandwidth Synaptic Communication and Frequency Tracking in Human Neocortex

Michele Giugliano

Neuronal firing, synaptic transmission, and its plasticity form the building blocks for processing and storage of information in the brain. It is unknown whether adult human synapses are more efficient in transferring information between neurons than roden ...

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans in a Free-Behaving Ovine Model

Jean-Marc Vesin, Etienne Pruvot, Florian Jousset

Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. Introduction: Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to ...

Synaptic Mechanisms Underlying Sparse Coding of Active Touch

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Yves Emile Alfred Kremer

Sensory information is actively gathered by animals, but the synaptic mechanisms driving neuronal circuit function during active sensory processing are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the synaptically driven membrane potential dynamics during acti ...

Ensuring stability in models of atrial kinetics

Vincent Jacquemet

The membrane kinetics of human atrial myocytes as formulated by Courtemance, Ramierz and Nattel has been studied while focusing on its progression toward stationary solutions during long term repetitive stimulation. An algorithm is presented for finding th ...
