Characterization of the aerosol produced by infrared femtosecond laser ablation of polyacrylamide gels for the sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry detection of selenoproteins [PDF]
A 2D high repetition rate femtosecondlaserablation strategy (2-mm wide lane) previously developed for the detection of selenoproteins in gel electrophoresis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was found to increase signal sensitivity by a ...

Electrical gaps in recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias after Maze surgery: regional patterns and clinical significance [PDF]
The Maze procedure is a well-established technique for treating atrial fibrillation; however, atrial tachyarrhythmias can recur postoperatively. This study analyzed the mechanisms of recurrence in patients who underwent electrophysiological studies and ...
