Effect of drugs O and C on APD prolongation.
<p><b>A:</b> simulated action potentials of the mouse ventricular model for the epicardial and endocardial cells. Pacing rate was 1 Hz. Relative APD prolongation normalized to the maximum prolongation with I<sub>Ktof</sub> completely blocked was determined at various drug concentrations for drug O (β) and drug C (βͺ) on <b>B:</b> endocardium and <b>C:</b> Epicardium. Pacing rate was 1 Hz.</p
Dose dependent blockade of I<sub>Ktof</sub>.
<p>The effect of various concentrations of drug on the action potential for <b>A:</b> open state block, and <b>B:</b> closed state block. The degree of block was determined by holding at β70 mV, the applying a test pulse to +50 mV for 500 ms. <b>C:</b> Open state binding of Drug O. <b>D:</b> Closed state binding of Drug C. Change in peak (βͺ), change in total current flow (β). Solid lines are Boltzmann fits to the data .</p

Example of APs recorded with different S1βS2 intervals.
<p>The first AP (control) represents the last beat of the pacing train at a cycle length of 1s (S1) on endocardial cells. APs are shown for S1βS2 intervals of 60, 100, 200, and 300 ms. Peak amplitudes are shown above the AP. APD30 is 4.89 ms, 8.17 ms, 6.11 ms, 5.58 ms, and 5.56 ms; APD75 is 18.11 ms, 22.07 ms, 18.65 ms, 17.81 ms, and 17.81 ms; and APD90 is 29.82 ms, 32.73 ms, 30.13 ms, 29.54 ms, and 29.47 ms for control, 60, 100, 200, and 300 ms S1βS2 intervals respectively.</p

Clinical trial interventions and associated costs and effects considered in HIV transmission simulation model.
<p>Uniform distributions were used for all costs and lognormal distribution for all effects in probabilistic analyses. Intervention costs were derived from India-specific sources.[<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0184179#pone.0184179.ref035" target="_blank">35</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0184179#pone.0184179.ref049" target="_blank">49</a>β<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0184179#pone.0184179.ref051" target="_blank">51</a>] Cost in 2012 USD.</p
