Introduction: As climate change advances, the looming threat of dengue fever, intricately tied to rising temperatures, intensifies, posing a substantial and enduring public health challenge in the Philippines. This study aims to investigate the historical and projected excess dengue disease burden attributable to temperature to help inform climate change policies, and guide resource allocation for strategic climate change and dengue disease interventions.
Methods: The study utilized established temperature-dengue risk functions to estimate the historical dengue burden attributable to increased temperatures.
Background: Patients undergoing first-time atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can benefit from targeting non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers. Preprocedural identification of high-risk individuals can guide planning of ablation strategy. This study aimed to create a preprocedural screening tool to identify patients at risk of non-PV triggers during first-time AF ablation.

Despite its importance, the mechanisms underlying this interaction have remained elusive. Here, we provide biochemical, structural, cellular, and proteomic analyses of the SNX17-Retriever interaction.
