Laser ablation allows for continuous line measurements or small spot analysis (ca. 30 micron diameter) of solid samples. Up to 40 elements can be determined nearly simultaneously, with at least one of those used as an internal standard to correct for differences in ablated mass. This study ...
Restoration of sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation (AF) by radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is associated with a transient stunning of left atrial (LA) function. However, the long-term effects of different ablation strategies on LA function remain undetermined. We performed randomized controlled...
The treatment strategies for uterine leiomyomas encompass medication, interventional embolization, HIFI ultrasound ablation, and surgical interventions. Among these, myomectomy is the preferred treatment option for patients desiring to preserve fertility. To adhere to the principles of postoperative rapid ...
(though only accumulation and ablation/evaporation/melting are included; glacial flow and spreading are not), and storm climatology. Future features will include support for multiple celestial light sources (e.g. for a habitable moon orbiting a Jovian planet, or circumbinary planets), coupling with...

Even minor traumas to the heart, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), pacemaker insertion, or radiofrequency ablation, can result in PCIS [131,132,133,134]. While the risk of PCIS can be as high as 90% in post-pericardiotomy syndrome, it is as low as 1–5% in the imp...
The aims of this study were to assess the effects of the biological characteristics of different types of uterine fibroids, as assessed with T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), on ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) ablation. Thirty-five patients with 39 symptomati...

The plasma concentrations of PITX2 and BMP10 could predict the risk of recurrent AF after ablation30. The hepcidin gene (HAMP) is involved in the regulation of iron homeostasis, and mutation of HAMP causes cardiomyopathy and heart failure31. Although there is no direct clinical evidence to ...
Different types of manufacturing defects can significantly change the mechanical behavior of the components. As different defects and anomalies might be occurred during 3D printing process (e.g., overlap, missing extrudates, and offset), the specimens are visually investigated prior to the tensile ...
