The effects of the Cox maze procedure on atrial function [PDF]

, 2008
ObjectiveThe effects of the Cox maze procedure on atrial function remain poorly defined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a modified Cox maze procedure on left and right atrial function in a porcine model.MethodsAfter cardiac ...

The multi–purse string maze procedure: A new surgical technique to perform the full maze procedure without atriotomies [PDF]

, 2007
ObjectiveThe maze procedure is the most effective surgical procedure for atrial fibrillation. In recent years, a number of different surgical ablation devices were introduced and gradually replaced the need for the procedure to be performed by using the ...

Amaze: a double-blind, multicentre randomised controlled trial to investigate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of adding an ablation device-based maze procedure as an adjunct to routine cardiac surgery for patients with pre-existing atrial fibrillation

Health Technology Assessment, 2018
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be treated using a maze procedure during planned cardiac surgery, but the effect on clinical patient outcomes, and the cost-effectiveness compared with surgery alone, are uncertain.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Treatment with KCL‐286, a first‐in‐class retinoic acid receptor‐β (RARβ) agonist, ameliorates neuronal DNA damage and inflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Repair of neuronal DNA damage in Alzheimer's disease by KCL‐286. (A) Amyloid‐β oligomers and plaques impair neuronal DNA repair pathways, leading to DNA double‐strand breaks and glial activation. (B) KCL‐286 activates RARβ/RXR signalling via retinoic acid response elements (RAREs), associated with increased BRCA1 expression, enhanced DNA repair and ...

Stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Thoracoscopic left atrial appendage closure with or without surgical ablationCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques
Objectives: Totally thoracoscopic left atrial appendage closure (TT-LAAC) with or without the MAZE procedure is an LAA management technique that prevents cardioembolic events by closing the LAA in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

The use of signs to facilitate maze learning in dairy cows (Bos taurus). [PDF]

, 2009
Little is known about whether or not cows can learn to use a visual cue to navigate complex paths. Experiment 1 investigated discrimination learning of dairy cows where the discrimination problems involved selecting a signalled one-way pair of gates in ...

The Cox maze IV procedure: Predictors of late recurrence [PDF]

, 2011
ObjectivesThe Cox maze III procedure achieved high cure rates and became the surgical gold standard for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Because of its invasiveness, a more simplified ablation-assisted procedure, the Cox maze IV procedure, has been ...

Posterior Cortical Atrophy in the Asia‐Pacific: A Report From the PCA Asian Workgroup

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) is a distinct dementia syndrome primarily affecting spatial abilities and visual processing. It is associated with degeneration in the posterior part of the brain. PCA is subclassified into PCA‐pure and PCA‐plus syndromes based on consensus criteria.
