Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Multisystem Mucosal Morbidity in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Inversa

Pediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa inversa (RDEB‐I) is a rare subtype of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EB) characterized by intertriginous cutaneous involvement and frequent mucosal disease. Although mucosal involvement is recognized in RDEB‐I, its cumulative clinical burden remains poorly defined.

Phase I/II Prospective Study on Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy as Primary Drainage for Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Various drainage methods have been used for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO). However, controlling cholangitis and obstructive jaundice is still challenging. We performed a phase I/II study of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) as primary drainage for MHBO.
