Ablation of solids by femtosecond lasers: ablation mechanism and ablation thresholds for metals and dielectrics [PDF]
The mechanism of ablation of solids by intense femtosecond laser pulses is described in an explicit analytical form. It is shown that at high intensities when the ionization of the target material is complete before the end of the pulse, the ablation ...

Case Report: An Unusual Case of Fasciculoventricular Pathway
A 30-year-old man with an ECG demonstrating ventricular preexcitation with a normal PR interval and a QR pattern in lead V1 was evaluated. Electrophysiology studies showed a normal AH interval and a shortened HV interval at sinus rhythm; while the degree

Transient complete heart block following catheter ablation of a left lateral accessory pathway. [PDF]
A 16-year-old female with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome underwent catheter ablation of a left-sided lateral accessory pathway. The accessory pathway was eliminated with the first ablation lesion; however, the patient immediately ...

Osteopontin ablation ameliorates muscular dystrophy by shifting macrophages to a pro-regenerative phenotype. [PDF]
In the degenerative disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy, inflammatory cells enter muscles in response to repetitive muscle damage. Immune factors are required for muscle regeneration, but chronic inflammation creates a profibrotic milieu that exacerbates

Controlled Irradiative Formation of Penitentes
Spike-shaped structures are produced by light-driven ablation in very different contexts. Penitentes 1-4 m high are common on Andean glaciers, where their formation changes glacier dynamics and hydrology.

Sub-debris melt rates on southern Inylchek Glacier, central Tian Shan [PDF]
Melt rates of glacier surfaces are strongly influenced by the existence of a debris cover. Dependent on thickness and other physical parameters the debris layer can enhance or reduce ablation as compared to bare ice conditions.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Cardioneuroablation to Treat Second-Degree Block After Slow Pathway Ablation
We present the long-term follow-up of a 31-year-old woman who underwent cardioneuroablation (for atrioventricular (AV) block. Slow pathway ablation was performed in September 2017 with normal follow-up until April 2018, when the patient started noticing ...
