Introduction: For preterm infants, the first two weeks after birth are a time when nutrition and protein intake is variable and often falls below recommended intakes. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between protein intake, including source of protein, during the first two weeks after birth and fat-free mass (FFM) accretion in a group of very preterm infants.
Methods: In this observational cohort study, body composition was assessed using air displacement plethysmography in eligible infants <32 weeks gestational age at two weeks after birth and prior to discharge.
Article Synopsis
- Atrial flutter (AFL) is a common issue that can arise after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation, especially in patients who have undergone atrial septal defect (ASD) occlusion, creating specific challenges for treatment.
- A case study of a 46-year-old woman with a history of ASD occlusion showed that she developed symptomatic AFL after RFA, but was successfully treated with pulsed field ablation (PFA) guided by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), leading to the termination of AFL without complications.
- Pulsed field ablation could be a safer alternative to traditional methods for this patient population, as it allows for effective treatment while reducing risks near the ASD oc
Article Synopsis
- - Tuberculosis (TB) poses a major global health issue, particularly in Indonesia, where it has high prevalence rates, especially in East Java and Surabaya, which reported around 4,628 cases in 2021, highlighting the urgent need for effective transmission prevention strategies among patients.
- - The study employed a cross-sectional design involving 144 TB patients from community health centers in Surabaya, utilizing questionnaires to analyze factors such as knowledge, supportive behavior, and medication adherence, with statistical methods used for data analysis.
- - Findings indicated that higher levels of knowledge, supportive behavior, and medication adherence significantly influenced the transmission prevention behavior of TB patients, suggesting the necessity of targeted programs to improve these factors and enhance TB control efforts. *
Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) has been subject to increasing interest over the last few years due to its capacity for physiological conduction and its advantages compared to His bundle pacing. His bundle pacing has certain limitations, such as a small pacing area for the His bundle, a high threshold that leads to battery depletion, a low R-wave amplitude that may result in atrial or His oversensing, and ventricular signal undersensing. In this case series, four patients (two female and two male) aged 62.
