Written by Willy Frick I was reading through ECGs in the queue when I saw the following. What do you think of the rhythm? At first glance there seems to be a lot of variation happening, but by focusing on one part of the ECG at a time we can make sense of it. Ignore the first QRS complex and look at beats 2 through 5. I have labeled them below for ease of reference: We see P waves which are upright in leads I, II, and aVF, and upside down in aVR.

We report that diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) is a glial messenger mediating crosstalk between satellite glial cells (SGCs) and sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). DBI is highly expressed in SGCs of mice, rats, and humans, but not in sensory neurons or most other DRG-resident cells. Knockdown of DBI results in a robust mechanical hypersensitivity without major effects on other sensory modalities.
