Electromagnetic Interference in Implantable Rhythm Devices - The Indian Scenario
No full textImplantable rhythm device (IRD) is the generic name for the group of implantable devices used for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Devices in this category include cardiac pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators and implantable loop recorders. Since these devices have complex microelectronic circuitry and use electromagnetic waves for communication, they are susceptible to interference from extraneous sources of electromagnetic radiation and magnetic energy. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is generally not a major problem outside of the hospital environment. The most important interactions occur when a patient is subjected to medical procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electrocautery and radiation therapy. Two articles in this issue of the journal discusses various aspects of EMI on IRD1,2 . Together these articles provide a good review of the various sources of EMI and their interaction with IRD for the treating physician
One Christian's plea : the life, ministry, and controversies of Francis Johnson.
No full textFrancis Johnson (1562-1618) served as pastor of the English Separatist congregation that became known as the "Ancient Church" from 1592 until his death in 1618. The congregation was first gathered in London under the guidance of Henry Barrow and John Greenwood before its members fled to Amsterdam in 1593 under Johnson's leadership to escape persecution by English civil and ecclesiastical authorities. Johnson joined his flock in 1597 after being released from prison. His ministry was filled with strife and conflict as he sought to implement the Separatist ecclesiological ideal of a congregational polity. Despite the turbulence of his early years in Amsterdam, Johnson's Ancient Church finally enjoyed a period of relative peace and growth from 1604-1608. Johnson caused a split within his own congregation in 1610. This fissure was created by his determination to pursue a more congregational rather than presbyterian polity in response to external conflicts with his former Cambridge pupil, John Smyth. After a self-imposed period of exile from 1613-1617 at Emden, East Friesland, Johnson returned to Amsterdam in 1617 to publish his final polemical work. He died at Amsterdam in 1618. In this research project, the author explored the evolving theological views, career, social context, polemical exhanges, controversies, and writings of Francis Johnson with two primary objectives. The first of these objectives was to analyze the course of Francis Johnson's ecclesiological views as he transitioned from an early presbyterian position to congregationalism and back to presbyterianism before he finally came to moderate his original hard-line Separatism. The second major objective of this project was to assess Johnson's contributions to the religious and social context of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Even though Johnson held such an important place in the development of English Separatism and Nonconformity, there has not been a major study of his ministry. Assessments of Johnson's career have been scattered throughout various general studies of English Separatism that have contributed much to our knowledge of Francis Johnson, but have not focused primarily on him. The purpose of this research project is to fill that unfortunate lacuna with a comprehensive treatment of Johnson's life, influence and theology
Atrial Fibrillation and Hyperthyroidism
No full textAtrial fibrillation occurs in 10 – 15% of patients with hyperthyroidism. Low serum thyrotropin concentration is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation. Thyroid hormone contributes to arrythmogenic activity by altering the electrophysiological characteristics of atrial myocytes by shortening the action potential duration, enhancing automaticity and triggered activity in the pulmonary vein cardio myocytes. Hyperthyroidism results in excess mortality from increased incidence of circulatory diseases and dysrhythmias. Incidence of cerebral embolism is more in hyperthyroid patients with atrial fibrillation, especially in the elderly and anti-coagulation is indicated in them. Treatment of hyperthyroidism results in conversion to sinus rhythm in up to two-third of patients. Beta-blockers reduce left ventricular hypertrophy and atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with hyperthyroidism. Treatment of sub clinical hyperthyroidism is controversial. Optimizing dose of thyroxine treatment in those with replacement therapy and beta-blockers is useful in exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism
Role of Adenosine/ATP Test in Supraventricular Tachycardia
No full textThe successful treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia with adenosine 5` triphosphate (ATP) was initially reported by Somlo1 in 1955. Sharma et al2 noted the value of intravenous ATP in the diagnosis and management of wide QRS complex tachycardia. ATP in incremental doses has been used for the non-invasive diagnosis of concealed accessory pathways3.
Non-invasive diagnosis of dual AV node physiology (DAVNP) in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia by administration of ATP or adenosine has been reported by different authors4,5. Though many of the studies were using incremental dosage, single dose tests with ATP6 and adenosine7 have also been useful in the diagnosis of DAVNP. The test is useful in sinus rhythm to establish the presence of DAVNP. DAVNP is considered to be present when at least one of the following events occur following ATP injection: 1) PR interval increases or decreases by >50 ms in 2 consecutive sinus beats; 2) an AV nodal echo beat is observed; 3) AVNRT develops. In this issue of the Journal, Belhassen et al8 report that DAVNP is present in a relatively high proportion (36.5%) of patients following termination of AVNRT with ATP but is much less frequent (5.5%) in control patients. In addition, they show that the occurrence of DAVNP following the administration of ATP in sinus rhythm is a good predictor of its occurrence after termination of AVNRT with ATP. Thus, findings at termination of tachycardia by ATP may be useful in the noninvasive diagnosis of the mechanism of a paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
Finding Aid for the Francis Johnson Jr. Papers
Get PDFThe Francis Johnson Jr. Papers is composed of handwritten scientific and mathematical calculations, handwritten notes, memorandums, technical reports, internal NASA notes, and miscellaneous papers, authored, created, or kept by Francis Johnson Jr. between 1962 and 1970 while working at NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas. He would work during this period as an aerospace engineer in trajectory analysis in the Mission Analysis Branch (MAB) during the Apollo Program, where he calculated trajectories to and from the Moon for space travel. The collection includes a large number of published internal Manned Spacecraft Center notes authored or co-authored by Johnson, featuring his technical calculations and review of project work for the Apollo Program. There are original copies of memos written by or to Johnson, mainly dealing with lunar trajectory calculations. There are also Johnson’s handwritten research papers and calculation notes that he originally stored in binders, containing mathematical workings, graphed trajectory calculations, scientific equation workings, and other notes, used to calculate lunar trajectories for the Apollo Program missions. The collection is significant for demonstrating the process by which engineers worked through the problem of space travel and lunar trajectories for spacecraft at NASA during the 1960s
