Prognostic Value of an Early Response to Tolvaptan and Its Clinical Implications in Patients With Cirrhosis and Hepatic Edema: A Nationwide Multicenter Cohort Study

open access: yesHepatology Research, EarlyView.
In a nationwide multicenter cohort, an early response to tolvaptan (≥ 1.5‐kg weight loss within 7 days) was independently associated with improved long‐term survival in patients with cirrhosis and hepatic edema. Early initiation before renal impairment or hyponatremia may optimize treatment response and prognosis. ABSTRACT Aim Hepatic edema indicates a

Bachmann's Bundle‐Related Atrial Tachycardias Following Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial tachycardias (AT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may utilize Bachmann's bundle (BB). Due to their epicardial location, these ATs remain poorly understood. Objective To describe the electrophysiologic and anatomic basis of BB‐related ATs.

Averaged Impedance Drop Estimates Conduction Gap During Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background EnSite X provides a module to filter oscillated generator impedance signals due to cardiac beating/respiration (averaged impedance drop, AID). TactiFlex ablation catheter Sensor Enabled (TFSE) is the latest product to incorporate a contact‐force sensor with a flexible tip but without lesion‐estimating parameters.

Aspects of the Histopathology of Clarias gariepinus Infected With the Camallanid Parasite Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Histopathological studies of infections with the nematode Procamallanus (Procamallanus) pseudolaeviconchus Moravec and Van As, 2015, an intestinal parasite of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), are scarce. The current study describes histopathological changes in the stomach of C. gariepinus infected with P.

Effects of gastric acid on surface roughness, microhardness, fracture strength, and color change of dental ceramics: A systematic review of in vitro studies

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This systematic review evaluated the effects of simulated gastric acid (SGA) on surface and mechanical properties of dental ceramics to answer the research question: Does immersion in SGA alter the surface roughness, microhardness, fracture strength, and color of dental ceramics?
