Focal atrial tachycardia-the localization differences between men and women: A study of 487 consecutive patients

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2020
Objective: The preferential sites for focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) are mainly in the right atrium in both sexes. However, a limited number of studies have indicated that sex differences in the localization of FAT.

Near-field ablation threshold of cellular samples at mid-IR wavelengths

, 2012
We report the near-field ablation of material from cellulose acetate coverslips in water and my- oblast cell samples in growth media, with a spot size as small as 1.5 {\mu}m under 3 {\mu}m wavelength radiation.

Electronic 1-year follow-up response rates of patients from the national registry for Ablation and Electrophysiology in Norway (AblaNor)

Critical Public Health
High response rates at follow-up (FUs) are essential for monitoring clinically relevant outcomes via quality registries. Traditional methods such as paper forms or telephone FU are resource intensive.

Impact of open de-ionized water thin film laminar immersion on the liquid immersed ablation threshold and ablation rate of features machined by KrF excimer laser ablation of bisphenol A polycarbonate [PDF]

, 2009
Debris control and surface quality are potential major benefits of sample liquid immersion when laser micromachining; however, the use of an immersion technique potentially modifies the ablation mechanism when compared to an ambient air interaction.

R-wave synchronised atrial pacing in pediatric patients with postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia: the atrioventricular interval investigated by computational analysis and clinical evaluation

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2017
Background R-wave synchronised atrial pacing is an effective temporary pacing therapy in infants with postoperative junctional ectopic tachycardia. In the technique currently used, adverse short or long intervals between atrial pacing and ventricular ...

Momentum Transfer by Laser Ablation of Irregularly Shaped Space Debris [PDF]

, 2010
Proposals for ground-based laser remediation of space debris rely on the creation of appropriately directed ablation-driven impulses to either divert the fragment or drive it into an orbit with a perigee allowing atmospheric capture.
