Catheter Ablation of Tachyarrhythmias in Small Children [PDF]
An estimated 80,000-100,000 radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures are performed in the United States each year.1 Approximately 1% of these are performed on pediatric patients at centers that contribute data to the Pediatric Radiofrequency Registry.2 ...

Novel Electroactive Therapeutic Platforms for Cardiac Arrhythmia Management
Electroactive platforms offer promising applications in cardiac arrhythmia. Based on their energy sources and mechanisms, electroactive platforms are categorized into i) direct electrical stimulation, ii) self‐powered electroactive systems, iii) physical stimuli‐mediated electroactive systems, and iv) conductive systems, and their applications in ...

The multifunctional bimetallic Ca/Zn nanoagonist (PZH/Zn@CaNA) significantly downregulated the JAK2‐STAT3 signaling pathway, which effectively inhibited the proliferation and growth of HCC with incomplete microwave ablation. Furthermore, the released bimetallic ions (Ca2⁺ and Zn2⁺) synergistically enhanced oxidative stress‐mediated cytotoxicity ...

A totally laparoscopic associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy assisted with radiofrequency (radiofrequency assisted liver partition with portal vein ligation) for staged liver resection [PDF]
In order to induce liver hypertrophy to enable liver resection in patients with a small future liver remnant, various methods have been proposed in addition to portal vein embolisation.
