Collapse in the elderly: rivastigmine-induced heart block and a literature review of the pharmacology of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors used in Alzheimer's disease.
We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the heart block with electron compensation (HBE) technique, based on three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in left-sided breast cancer patients with underlying cardiac or pulmonary disease.

To examine fetal characteristics which might influence autoantibody-mediated diseases acquired in utero, such as heart block in neonatal lupus, the tissue expression of MCP was studied.

Our findings indicate that a novel heterozygous missense mutation c.G1725T of the CLCA2 gene may be associated with heart block disease and the mutation in this gene may lead to sinus node lesions and conduction blocking.
The overproduction of IP-10 by PnMECs leads to the focal breakdown of the BNB and may help to mediate the transfer of pathogenic T cells across the BNB, thereby resulting in the appearance of conduction block in electrophysiological studies of patients with MADSAM and MMN.
Desmin myopathy is a familial or sporadic disorder characterized by the presence of desmin mutations that cause skeletal muscle weakness associated with cardiac conduction block, arrhythmia and heart failure.
These studies describe a unique animal model of CMT, whereby weakness is due to conduction block or neuromuscular junction failure rather than secondary axon loss and demonstrate that the Egr2-Nab complex is critical for proper peripheral nerve myelination.
Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EMD or EDMD) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder, characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness, contractures, and cardiomyopathy, manifesting as heart block.
Here we report that photostimulation of VLPO<sup>GAL</sup> neurons in mice promotes sleep with low frequency stimulation (1-4 Hz), but causes conduction block and waking at frequencies above 8 Hz.
Because NF186 and gliomedin play a crucial role for salutatory conduction, the autoantibodies may contribute to produce motor nerve conduction block and muscle weakness in MMN.
Our data suggest that anti-contactin-1 IgG3 induces an acute conduction block that is most probably mediated by autoantibody binding and subsequent complement deposition and may account for acute onset of disease in these patients.
A missense mutation in the exon 8 of lamin A/C gene in a Japanese case of autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and cardiac conduction block.
