High‐Performance Recyclable Polyester Elastomers Through Transient Strain‐Stiffening

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transient strain‐crystallization simultaneously strengthens and toughens block polyester elastomers while conserving recyclability. Using controlled polymerization catalysis and commercial monomers, block polyester elastomers outperform current commercial elastomers, entering a new region of tensile mechanical property space.

Efficacy and safety of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in congenital heart disease – A systematic review and meta-analysis

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019
Background: Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is on the rise. Anti-arrhythmic drugs are usually the first line of treatment in CHD, however, it is often ineffective and poorly tolerated.
