Relationship of Structural Abnormalities of Papillary Muscles to the Site of Origin of Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Background: Arrhythmias originating from papillary muscles (PAPs) can be challenging when targeted with catheter ablation. The prevalence and impact of structural abnormalities on PAPs in patients with focal PAP arrhythmias is unknown.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze, in a consecutive patient series with focal PAP arrhythmias, the impact of structural abnormalities detected by multimodality imaging.

Effect of In Ovo Supplementation of Slab51 Probiotic Mixture, Associated with Marek's Disease Vaccine, on Growth Performance, Intestinal Morphology and spp. Infection in Broiler Chickens.

The interest for in ovo feeding has grown in the last decades mainly concerning probiotics, live microorganisms that can actively interact with the embryo. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a multi-strain probiotic diluted in Marek's disease vaccine (MDV) on zootechnical performances, intestinal morphology and spp. infection.

Outcomes After Duodenoduodenostomy for Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome.

Background: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) is a very rare disease that causes starvation and malnutrition secondary to a mechanical obstruction of the 3 portion of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Long-term outcomes following surgery for SMAS by current methods have a high failure rate of 21%-67%. We report the 3-year outcomes of a novel operation for SMAS described as the duodenoduodenostomy (DD).
