Influence of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation on Platelet Aggregation [PDF]

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2007
the objective of this article was to find out how radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) influences platelet aggregation (PA), and the dependence on the total energy (TE) of RFA used and the cause of arrhythmia. We investigated 97 patients. PA was analyzed before, after, and in 24 hours after RFA. ADP- and epinephrine-induced PA significantly decreased

Own the turf or lose it: Ultrasound‐guided procedures and the future of shoulder repair

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract To highlight why the current arthroscopy‐centred paradigm may be insufficient for rotator cuff disease and to propose a surgeon‐led transition towards office‐based, ultrasound‐guided ‘micro’ interventions. The central question is whether earlier, less invasive image‐guided procedures can preserve tissue biology and improve value while ...

Ischaemia modified albumin in radiofrequency catheter ablation [PDF]

EP Europace, 2007
Aim Ischaemia modified albumin (IMA) is considered a marker of myocardial ischaemia, in contrast to the biomarkers of myocardial injury [creatine kinase (CK), the MB isoenzyme of CK, and cardiac troponin I (Tn-I)] that are released when cardiac necrosis occurs.

Endoscopic small bowel therapies for type 2 diabetes

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Type 2 diabetes is a global epidemic despite current medical treatments. Many patients are not responsive to medications, and patients with obesity are hesitant about bariatric surgery. Studies investigating the metabolic effects of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass have increasingly demonstrated that the duodenum plays a key role in the ...
