[Radiofrequency transcatheter ablation of the left lateral Kent bundle in a premature newborn after 28 weeks of pregnancy with prenatal diagnosis of incessant tachycardia: 28-year follow-up].

A case of incessant tachycardia diagnosed at the seventh month of pregnancy conditioning hydrops fetalis is described. Delivery was induced by caesarean section. Atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia was due to the involvement of a left lateral accessory pathway refractory to multiple antiarrhythmic drugs and was often associated with ipsilateral left bundle branch block at a slower rate.

Severe COVID-19 ARDS Treated by Bronchoalveolar Lavage with Diluted Exogenous Pulmonary Surfactant as Salvage Therapy: In Pursuit of the Holy Grail?

Background: Severe pneumonia caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is characterized by inflammatory lung injury, progressive parenchymal stiffening and consolidation, alveolar and airway collapse, altered vascular permeability, diffuse alveolar damage, and surfactant deficiency. COVID-19 causes both pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (COVID-19 ARDS). COVID-19 ARDS is characterized by severe refractory hypoxemia and high mortality.

Beyond false belief: theory of mind in young, young-old, and old-old adults.

Theory of mind (ToM) refers to humans' ability to recognize the existence of mental states, such as beliefs, emotions, and desires. The literature on ToM in aging and on the relationship between ToM and other cognitive functions, like executive functions, is not homogenous. The aim of the present study was to explore the course of ToM and to investigate the role of working memory, inhibition, and language on the possible age differences in ToM.

Improving Parkinson's disease identification through evolutionary-based feature selection.

Parkinson's disease (PD) automatic identification has been actively pursued over several works in the literature. In this paper, we deal with this problem by applying evolutionary-based techniques in order to find the subset of features that maximize the accuracy of the Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier. The reason for the choice of this classifier relies on its fast training phase, given that each possible solution to be optimized is guided by the OPF accuracy.

Longitudinal effects of theory of mind on later peer relations: the role of prosocial behavior.

Children's peer relations represent a key aspect of school adjustment. However, little is known about their social-cognitive precursors. To address this gap, the authors followed 70 children across the transition to primary school.
