Pulmonary vein isolation by cryoablation on patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Aim: Atrial fibrillation is just one of many arrhythmias that affects the cardiac rhythm and the heart as a pump which consequently increases the chance of an embolic insult.

Maintenance of low inflammation level by the ZFHX3 SNP rs2106261 minor allele contributes to reduced atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 INTRODUCTION:The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2106261 in the transcription factor gene ZFHX3 (16q22), a major regulator of inflammation, has been reported linking to atrial fibrillation (AF) by genome-wide association studies.

Efficient Uncertainty Quantification in a Multiscale Model of Pulmonary Arterial and Venous Hemodynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Computational hemodynamics models are becoming increasingly useful in the management and prognosis of complex, multiscale pathologies, including those attributed to the development of pulmonary vascular disease. However, diseases like pulmonary hypertension are heterogeneous, and affect both the proximal arteries and veins as well as the ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

Pulmonary veins isolation to retard pacemaker implantation [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, 2018 Key Clinical MessageSick sinus syndrome is uncommon in children, and syndromic forms are rare. Some forms of sick sinus syndrome like the bradycardia‐tachycardia type could be managed by a radiofrequency ablation, even in young children, and could be helpful to delay the implantation of a pacemaker.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...
