Evidence is emerging to indicate that atrial fibrillation (AF) is independently associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). This association has been consistently observed in specific patient subgroups such as patients with myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and hypertension, and importantly, in the general population. Data from studies of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator recipients suggest that the rapid and irregular rhythm of AF and the short-long-short cycles that are highly prevalent in AF increase susceptibility to ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. An alternative explanation for the association between AF and SCD includes confounding or mediation by shared risk factors such as coronary artery disease and heart failure. Possible risk factors for SCD in patients with AF include black race, left ventricular hypertrophy, history of MI, and diabetes. Additional research is needed to confirm the inherent proarrhythmic nature of AF, identify patients’ characteristics or clinical conditions that potentiate SCD risk, and define effective SCD prevention strategies for patients with AF.

Chromatographic separation of the acetone extracts from the twigs and barks of Artocarpus lakoocha led to the isolation of the one new flavanone, lakoochanone (1), together with eleven known compounds (2–12). Lakoochanone (1) and moracin C (4) exhibited weak antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum Dd2 with IC50 values of 36.7 and 33.9 µM, respectively. Moreover, moracin C (4) and sanggenofuran B (5) showed cytotoxic activity against A2780 cell line with the respective IC50 values of 15.0 and 57.1 µM. In addition, cyclocommunin (7) displayed strong antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 12.3 µM.

The purpose of this study was to perform a detailed kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic comparison of maximal effort horizontal and vertical jumping. It was of particular interest to identify factors responsible for the control of jump direction. Eight male subjects performed maximal horizontal jumps (HJ) and vertical jumps (VJ) from a standing posture with a counter movement. Three-dimensional motion of the trunk, pelvis, and bilateral thigh, shank, and foot segments were recorded together with bilateral ground reaction forces and electromyographic (EMG) activity from seven right leg muscles. Relative to the VJ, the trunk is displaced further forward at the beginning of the HJ, through greater ankle joint dorsiflexion and knee extension. The activity of the biarticular rectus femoris and hamstrings were adapted to jump direction and helped to tune the hip and knee joint torques to the requirements of the task. The primary difference in joint torques between the two jumps was for the knee joint, with the extension moment reduced in the HJ, consistent with differences in activation levels of the biarticular rectus femoris and hamstrings. Activity of the mono-articular knee extensors was adapted to jump direction in terms of timing rather than peak amplitude. Overall results of this study suggest that jump direction is controlled by a combination of trunk orientation at the beginning of the push-off and the relative activation levels of the biarticular rectus femoris and hamstring muscles during the push-off.

Organic synthetic chemistry utilises scientific technology from various fields but compared to the great advances seen in the automation of analytical instruments over the last 20 years, the synthesis of organic compounds has been relatively slow to move from a largely manual process. Automation of synthesis is not only important for increasing efficiency, precision and safety but also decreasing labor and exploring new synthetic methodologies. In this review of automated synthesis apparatus we broadly divide them into two categories;those using robotic transfer of a reagent, reactant, product or vessel, and others that only use flow-lines for transfers between fixed reactors. These categories are then sub-divided into systems and workstations according to the extent of the operations and functions. We highlight some of the representative past and present automated synthesis apparatus and look at what the future may hold in the way of miniaturized and high-throughput automated synthesis.
