BACKGROUND:Short atrial fibrillation cycle lengths (AFCL) and regular activation patterns are associated with drivers of atrial fibrillation (AF), though the relation with underlying patterns of activation is incompletely understood. Previous studies used automated assessment of electrograms to determine fast and regular fibrillatory rates.
OBJECTIVE:We investigated the relation between AFCL, temporal variation in AFCL and the occurrence of driver-like patterns of activation using high-density local activation time mapping.
METHODS:High-density epicardial mapping of the right atrium and left atrial ventricular groove including Bachmann's bundle was performed in 71 patients admitted for elective cardiac surgery. Recording sites with the shortest median AFCL (mAFCL) or the smallest standard deviation of AFCL (SD) were identified. Patterns of activation included focal or rotational activation, smooth propagation, propagation with conduction block (CB), collision and remnant activity.
RESULTS:There was a higher number of fibrillation waves with CB (81[76-85]% versus 74[68-76]%, p<0.001) and fractionated potentials (22[12-37]% vs 12[9-15]%, p<0.001) at mAFCL than at other recording sites. SD sites harbored more smoothly propagating waves (33[24-54]% vs 17[11-25]%, p<0.001) and a higher proportion of single potentials (76[60-89]% vs 59[54-65]%, p<0.001). Both highly regular and fastest reactivated sites did not correspond to the origin of (repetitive) focal fibrillation waves.
CONCLUSIONS:During extensive mapping, the fastest or most regularly activated areas are characterized by CB and smoothly propagating fibrillation waves instead of repetitive occurrence of focal or rotational activation patterns.

In recent years, Diffusion LMS algorithm has been thoroughly researched. This powerful approach enables distributed problem optimization over sensor networks to be solved. The best parameter vectors for all agents is likely not to be the same in such implementations. In addition, agents typically share information through noisy links. Here, we compared the average performance of some major distributed network-based combination policies: Static Combination Policy (metropolis policy and relative variance combination policy) and adaptive Combination Policy. The diffusion of information gathered from neighbors is an important problem in creating adaptive networks in as much as the network mean-square performance is dependent on the preference for combined weights. The aspect of the best selection of the combination weights is considered. We showed the adaptive combination policy outperformed the two analyzed static combination policy over noisy links. Also note that because we considered linearly complex algorithms in a single-task LMS diffusion, we analyzed the theoretical performance within a collaborative target tracking problem.

Short peptides derived from Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins are critically important because they appear to exert their protective functions through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in vivo. Excitingly, confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed that green fluorescent protein (GFP) exhibited a heterogeneous intracellular distribution in Escherichia coli cells co-expressing LEA peptides. Guided by this observation, we conducted in vitro LLPS assays and found that the LEA-II and LEA-K peptides attenuated segregative LLPS while enhancing solution stability in the associative LLPS mode. These data support our hypothesis that LEA peptides function as molecular shields that suppress protein aggregation, thereby improving heterologous protein expression.
