Heart measurements were taken using a manual 150 mm Beerendonk caliper, measured to the nearest 1/20 mm.
Cardiac function was analyzed by serial echocardiography, in vivo pressure and isolated heart measurements.
Fetal morphometric and heart measurements will occur at 34 weeks gestation.
Other heart measurements included heart weight, left and right ventricular wall thickness, valvular circumferences, presence or absence of valvular calcification and presence and volume of myocardial infarctions (MI).
Other heart measurements including heart weight, left and right ventricle mean thickness, and valve circumferences are presented in Table 4, grouped by diagnosis and gender.
Isolated perfused mouse heart measurements of intracellular calcium and energetics have been performed using other methods by other investigators [ 17, 18].
For isolated heart measurements murine hearts were taken at 6 and 12 h post-CLP, and mounted with retrograde perfusion at 100 mmHg constant pressure with modified Krebs Henseleit buffer in an isolated heart apparatus (Hugo Sachs Elektronik), as previously described [ 13, 42– 42].
For isolated heart measurements, murine hearts were explanted at baseline (6 weeks after bone marrow transplantation), and mounted with retrograde perfusion at 100 mmHg constant pressure with modified Krebs Henseleit buffer in an isolated heart apparatus (Hugo Sachs Elektronik), as previously described [ 31– 33, 46] (See Online Resource 2 for detailed information).
Companies based at Technopolis employ more than 10,000 people, but thousands more work off campus at companies like Sonera, Finland's biggest telephone company, and Polar Electro Oy, which makes electronic heart-measurement products.
This article aims to familiarize crime researchers and other interested readers with two important neurobiological measures, namely neuropsychological assessment and resting heart rate measurement, and with how these measures can play an important role in criminological research.
