PRESS RELEASE Annual Course Explores New Developments in Clinical Pacing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators and Heart Failure Devices

, professor, Mayo
Medical School and chair of Cardiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minnesota, will direct a course designed for cardiac nurses and
technicians, commonly referred to as allied professionals.
The course will cover:

-- Interpretation of paced electrocardiograms through lectures, case
studies and workshops
-- A comprehensive follow-up of the patient with a permanent pacemaker,
ICDs and CRT devices
-- The potential effect of environmental electrical interference (EMI) on
implantable devices
-- An approach to patient education on implantable cardiac devices and
identifying available tools

Nurses, cardiac technicians or other professionals contemplating a career
in this field should attend this course.

Results of the Phase II research are expected to provide additional
insights into the:

* characteristics of fRNA genes

* potential for this tool in relation to fRNA target discovery

* commercial application via RNA therapeutics in humans and other
organisms

* mechanisms of translational expression by RNAs

"As the number of experimentally verified siRNAs, stRNAs, and microRNAs
continues to increase, the rate at which we verify these elements is largely
dependent on the prediction of interesting regions followed by laboratory
analysis.

This Phase II effort will focus on the refinement of evolved
neural networks for ten key eukaryotes capable of discriminating fRNA coding
from noncoding sequence information and experimental validation of predicted
fRNA coding regions in humans and mice," said Dr.
