Impacts of Hemodynamic Support on Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 1711-1722, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Data on the efficacy of hemodynamic support (HS) for protecting ventricular arrhythmia (VA) ablation in high‐risk heart failure (HF) patients with an impaired left ventricular function and its impact on mortality is limited. Objectives This study aimed to assess procedural efficacy, related complications, VA‐free survival, and ...

Comparison of Spatio‐Temporal Dispersion Electrogram Ablation and Low Voltage Zone Ablation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 1837-1845, August 2026.
This study compared STDE‐guided versus LVZ‐guided ablation beyond PVI in 107 persistent AF patients. At 24 months, the AF‐free survival rate was significantly higher in the STDE group (76.3% vs. 58.4%, p=0.027). STDE ablation independently reduced recurrence risk (HR: 0.29, p=0.004), providing superior clinical efficacy over LVZ ablation.

Cytoarchitecture and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 233-246, August 2026.
This article describes the cyto‐ and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex. It outlines a six‐layered cortical organization, with variations in cellular types and densities. The potential location of the primary auditory cortex is indicated by parvalbumin immunostaining.

UniPolar Radiofrequency for Treatment of Facial Aging Signs and Skin Laxity

open access: yesJournal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Radiofrequency (RF) technologies are widely used for noninvasive skin rejuvenation. Unlike other RF technologies, unipolar RF emits an electromagnetic field that produces controlled heat within the adjacent area, promoting collagen remodeling and improving the visible signs of skin aging.

Multipoint Pacing Versus Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 1074-1085, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Multipoint pacing (MPP) delivers sequential stimuli from multiple left‐ventricular electrodes, potentially improving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response versus conventional biventricular pacing (BiV). We performed an updated systematic review and meta‐analysis to synthesize contemporary evidence.

The Evolution of UAE's Africa Foreign Policy: Motivations, Strategies and Challenges

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies on the foreign policies of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries attribute their increasing involvement in Africa to security and economic considerations. However, only a few studies have investigated the foreign policies of the individual GCC countries in more detail for confirmation. Hence, using a neorealist perspective on

Analysis of the Charge Structure and Lightning Activity During a Severe Beijing Thunderstorm via an Innovative Balloon‐Borne 3D Electric Field Observation System

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We developed an innovative balloon‐borne observation system based on China's BeiDou sounding platform that integrates a three‐axis electric field sensor for in‐cloud measurements of thunderstorm electrification. On 13 May 2025, this system was deployed during a severe convective storm over Beijing. In combination with multisource observations,

Increasing of Q Factor of Quasi‐Bound States in the Continuum With Increased Asymmetry Parameter in a Silicon Metasurface Array

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
Quasi‐bound states in the continuum (qBICs) can support resonances with high quality (Q) factor. Traditionally, maintaining a high Q factor requires a small α, which brings significant challenges for nanofabrication. In contrast, our study finds an increase in the Q factor with increasing of α in a metasurface array composed of Si blocks with circular ...

Robust Bound States in the Continuum in Mirror‐Symmetric Terahertz Metasurfaces

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
An ideal BIC, supported by local inversion symmetry in a mirror‐symmetric metasurface, transforms into a QBIC by introducing an asymmetry parameter α. This transition yields a finite Q‐factor following Q ∝ α−1.95, whereas the singular polarization state splits into two distinct circularly polarized points. This framework ensures robust BIC formation at
