RETRO-MAPPING: A New Approach to Activation Mapping in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Reveals Evidence of Spatiotemporal Stability

Publisher: Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)

Date: 06-2021

DOI: 10.1161/CIRCEP.121.009602

Abstract: The mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) remain controversial. We developed Representation of Electrical Tracking or Origin-Mapping to characterize activation wavefronts by direction and uniformity, accumulating data as an orbital plot and analyzed as frequency histograms. We applied this technique to patients undergoing AF ablation to determine if AF activation is random. Patients undergoing persistent AF ablation were recruited, and an AFocusII was positioned at multiple left atrial locations and kept steady for 1 minute to collect electrograms. The AFocusII was returned to the original site and position after minutes for a repeat 1-minute data collection. Data were exported to custom Representation of Electrical Tracking or Origin-Mapping software, and 30 seconds consecutive time windows at each location were studied using frequency histograms of wavefronts. R50 (the range in degrees containing 50% of the total activation) was used as a method to enable statistical comparisons of activation patterns. Electrogram characterization into categories of complex fractionated atrial electrograms by Ensite Precision was subjected to similar analysis. Consecutive 30 seconds segments were studied at 161 locations in 18 pts. Mean overlap between frequency histograms was 79.5%±7.7 (95% CI, 78.3–80.7). Nine patients underwent delayed mapping at the same location, and mean overlap between the first 30 seconds and minute interval was 73%±11.8 and 71.9%±13.6 for consecutive 30-second segments. Stability was confirmed using R50 (Bland-Altman mean difference: 0.87° limits of agreement: −34.0 to 36.0 r =0.005 P =0.95). A greater variance in R50 was observed between different locations within a patient than the variance within the same locations (intraclass correlation=0.765 P .0001) and similarly for both complex fractionated atrial electrogram and bipolar voltage ( P .0001). A larger area containing complex fractionated atrial electrogram (80–120 ms) showed weak positive correlation with increasing R50 ( r =0.36, P .001) suggesting a relationship between activation pattern and electrogram characteristics. There appears to be preferential activation patterns during persistent AF indicating spatiotemporal stability. This has important implication to our mechanistic understanding of persistent AF.

Early contact between late farming and pastoralist societies in southeastern Europe

Abstract: Archaeogenetic studies have described two main genetic turnover events in prehistoric western Eurasia: one associated with the spread of farming and a sedentary lifestyle starting around 7000–6000 bc (refs. 1–3 ) and a second with the expansion of pastoralist groups from the Eurasian steppes starting around 3300 bc (refs. 4,5 ). The period between these events saw new economies emerging on the basis of key innovations, including metallurgy, wheel and wagon and horse domestication 6–9 . However, what happened between the demise of the Copper Age settlements around 4250 bc and the expansion of pastoralists remains poorly understood. To address this question, we analysed genome-wide data from 135 ancient in iduals from the contact zone between southeastern Europe and the northwestern Black Sea region spanning this critical time period. While we observe genetic continuity between Neolithic and Copper Age groups from major sites in the same region, from around 4500 bc on, groups from the northwestern Black Sea region carried varying amounts of mixed ancestries derived from Copper Age groups and those from the forest/steppe zones, indicating genetic and cultural contact over a period of around 1,000 years earlier than anticipated. We propose that the transfer of critical innovations between farmers and transitional foragers/herders from different ecogeographic zones during this early contact was integral to the formation, rise and expansion of pastoralist groups around 3300 bc .

DOI: 10.31219/OSF.IO/AHF8Q

Abstract: FAIMS Mobile is a native Android application supported by an Ubuntu server facilitating human-mediated field research across disciplines. It consists of `core' Java and Ruby software providing a platform for data capture, which can be deeply customised using `definition packets' consisting of XML documents (data schema and UI) and Beanshell scripts (automation). Definition packets can also be generated using an XML-based domain-specific language, making customisation easier. FAIMS Mobile includes features allowing rich and efficient data capture tailored to the needs of fieldwork. It also promotes synthetic research and improves transparency and reproducibility through the production of comprehensive datasets that can be mapped to vocabularies or ontologies as they are created.

Learning outcomes assessment and History: TEQSA, the After Standards Project and the QA/QI challenge in Australia

Publisher: SAGE Publications

Date: 10-10-2012

DOI: 10.1177/1474022212460745

Abstract: Higher education in Australia is currently in a state of flux, with the Federal Government’s Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency commencing operations in January 2012. The ‘After Standards Project’ has been working with Australian university history departments and the Australian Historical Association, educating and empowering the discipline to act as a united community and assert ownership of a standards process. This article provides a stocktake of the achievements and challenges the After Standards Project has faced in coming to terms with the new environment and resultant new demands around compliance and accountability. It discusses the After Standards Project’s work in terms of both quality assurance and quality improvement, with reference to the establishment of a set of discipline standards and the trial of an accreditation scheme.

Introducing Preregistration of Research Design to Archaeology

Publisher: Center for Open Science

DOI: 10.31235/OSF.IO/SBWCQ

Abstract: Archaeology has an issue with "just-in-time" research, where insufficient attention is paid to articulating a research design before fieldwork begins. Data collection, management, and analysis approaches are under-planned and, often, evolve during fieldwork. While reducing the amount of preparation time for busy researchers, these tendencies reduce the reliability of research by exacerbating the effects of cognitive biases and perverse professional incentives. They cost time later through the accrual of technical debt. Worse, these practices hinder research transparency and scalability by undermining the quality, consistency, and compatibility of data. Archaeologists would benefit from embracing the "preregistration revolution" sweeping other disciplines. By publicly committing to research design and methodology ahead of time, researchers can produce more robust research, generate useful and reusable datasets, and reduce the time spent correcting problems with data. Preregistration can accommodate the ersity of archaeological research, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, hypothesis-testing and hypothesis-generating research paradigms, and place-specific and generalizing aims. It is appropriate regardless of the technical approach to data collection and analysis. More broadly, it encourages a more considered, thoughtful approach to research design. Preregistration templates for the social sciences can be adopted for use by archaeologists.
