Very high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation in patients with typical atrial flutter: rationale and design of the FASD-HP randomized trial.

Background: The aim of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent flutter ablation is the bidirectional conduction block of the CTI. Very-high-power short-duration (vHPSD) radiofrequency ablation aims to minimize conductive heating and increase resistive heating to create shallower but wider lesions in a very short time, while reducing the risk of collateral tissue damage. Experimental studies have shown that it produces effective transmural lesions with an equal or better safety profile compared to conventional parameters.

Human Dermal Decellularized ECM Hydrogels as Scaffolds for 3D In Vitro Skin Aging Models.

Biomaterials play an important role in the development of advancing three dimensional (3D) in vitro skin models, providing valuable insights for drug testing and tissue-specific modeling. Commercial materials, such as collagen, fibrin or alginate, have been widely used in skin modeling. However, they do not adequately represent the molecular complexity of skin components.

100 Years since Robert Barany's visit to the Zaragoza medical faculty.

In December 1923, a twelve-day course took place at the University of Zaragoza, specifically at the Faculty of Medicine, given by Professor Róbert Bárány, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1914 for his discoveries on the vestibular apparatus. Professor Robert Bárány came to the faculty at the invitation of Professor Victor Fairén through the University Exchange programme. This course consisted of four lectures and twelve lessons a day in which he presented his knowledge of the physiopathology of the vestibule and cerebellum, as well as practical demonstrations of the physical examination of nystagmus and cerebellar pathology.

Association of the superior semicircular canal and tegmen tympani dehiscences and its relationship with the pneumatisation of the temporal bone.

Purpose: To analyse the degree of pneumatisation of the temporal bone when there is an association between dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal and dehiscence of the tegmen tympani.

Materials And Methods: We analysed a retrospective CT study of 124 selected cases. A single inclusion criterion was applied: the presence of a dehiscence of the tegmen tympani.

End-To-End Procedure For IORT in Brain Metastases and Film Dosimetry.

Purpose: The study is intended to perform an end-to-end test of the entire intraoperative process using cadaver heads. A simulation of tumor removal was performed, followed by irradiation of the bed and measurement of absorbed doses with radiochromic films.

Materials And Methods: Low-energy X-ray intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) was used for irradiation.
