High Frequency Oscillations (HFOs) have emerged as presurgical biomarkers for the identification of the epileptogenic zone in pediatric patients with medically refractory epilepsy. A methodology for the noninvasive recording, detection, and localization of HFOs with simultaneous scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) is presented.

A scanner for imaging magnetic particles in planar samples was developed using the planar frequency mixing magnetic detection technique. The magnetic intermodulation product response from the nonlinear nonhysteretic magnetization of the particles is recorded upon a two-frequency excitation. It can be used to take 2D images of thin biological samples.

Wild-Type Blocking PCR to Detect Low-Frequency Somatic Mutations

This video describes wild-type blocking polymerase chain reaction, or WTB-PCR, which detects somatic mutations. The PCR-based technique uses a locked nucleic acid, or LNA, an oligonucleotide that binds to its complementary wild-type allele and blocks its elongation. The blocking selectively allows the amplification of low-level mutant alleles over their wild-type variants in the sample.

FAQs
The analysis separates the pacing artifact, which marks electrical delivery, from the subsequent cardiac depolarization seen on the electrocardiogram. Examining their temporal relationship shows whether each stimulus is followed by a corresponding cardiac electrical response. This distinction prevents the measured pacing rate from being confused with the heart rate or with the depolarization event itself.
The interval, or cycle length, provides the timing needed to determine how frequently stimuli are delivered. Shorter intervals indicate a higher pacing frequency, while longer intervals indicate a lower frequency. Repeated interval measurements can therefore reveal whether pacing occurs at the intended rate or shows changes that warrant closer evaluation of device behavior.
Uneven spacing between pacing artifacts may indicate irregular stimulation, while absent expected artifacts may suggest missed stimuli. These findings do not by themselves establish the cause, but they identify pacing behavior that differs from the expected pattern. Relating the artifacts to cardiac depolarizations helps characterize whether the electrical response remains temporally associated with delivered stimuli.
First, identify the pacing artifacts on the electrocardiogram and distinguish them from the resulting depolarization signals. Next, measure the interval between successive stimuli and convert that cycle length into frequency. Finally, relate each stimulus to the cardiac depolarization that follows. This sequence provides a structured assessment of pacing rate and stimulus-response timing.
When measured timing differs from the intended pacing pattern, or when stimuli appear missed or irregular, the finding can prompt further device interrogation. The electrocardiographic assessment does not replace that evaluation; it identifies a change in pacing behavior that may require additional review or clinical management. Stable timing and consistent stimulus-response relationships provide complementary information about therapy delivery.
Pacing frequency detection connects programmed or delivered electrical stimulation with the heart’s observed electrical response. In medical assessment, that connection helps determine whether therapy is operating at the intended rate and whether pacing abnormalities are present. It can also document changes over time, supporting decisions about device assessment and management when the recorded pattern no longer matches expectations.
