Feasibility and Outcomes of Intravenous Lithotripsy as an Adjunct in Complex Transvenous Lead Extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) of old leads is associated with increased procedural complexity and risk due to the development of calcified vascular adhesions. This may necessitate additional tools to free the leads. Shockwave intravenous lithotripsy (IVL), which employs acoustic pressure waves to fracture calcified lesions, has ...

First Pediatric Application of Bachmann's Bundle Pacing and Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing for Bi‐Physiologic Conduction System Pacing

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial pacing at right atrial appendage causes nonphysiologic delays. Bachmann's bundle (BB) pacing preserves synchrony but lacks pediatric data. Case Summary We report the first pediatric combined BB and left bundle branch area pacing in a 9‐year‐old boy (23.5 kg).

Prospective Trial of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of High Dominant Frequencies After Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Non‐Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAD‐AF Trial): A Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In persistent AF, adjunctive dominant frequency‐guided ablation after pulmonary vein isolation did not significantly improve outcomes. Limited overlap between high‐frequency sites and low‐voltage areas suggests functional–structural dissociation, while right atrial low‐voltage burden predicts recurrence.

Development and Validation of a Viability RT‐qPCR Assay for Detecting Infectious Spring Viraemia of Carp Virus (SVCV)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) is a contagious pathogen associated with significant mortality and economic losses in freshwater aquaculture. Although reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) enables rapid detection, it does not distinguish between infectious and non‐infectious viral particles, which may lead to overestimation of ...

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

The potential clinical implications of slow vital capacity in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Respiratory Research
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease with a highly variable clinical course. Forced vital capacity (FVC) is widely used as a marker of disease severity and progression, yet its variability and dependence on ...

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth I: Complete myology in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and prolonged suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and accordingly demonstrate myological traits consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the elbow joint, and grip on the support.

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Association between serum vitamin C and body mass index in adolescents aged 12–19 years

BMC Public Health
Background Evidence on the association between serum vitamin C (sVC) levels and obesity is limited. This study aimed to explore the relationship between sVC and body mass index (BMI) in adolescents aged 12 to 19 years.
