Article Synopsis
- Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a new heart treatment that is different from traditional methods, and this study compared PFA to another method called high-power short-duration radiofrequency (HPSD-RF) for success in treating heart rhythm problems.
- The study involved 410 patients, and it found that the PFA method took less time and had fewer complications compared to HPSD-RF.
- Both methods were effective, with similar success rates at keeping the heart rhythm normal after one year, but the chance of problems coming back after treatment was about the same for both methods.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety of noncarbapenem antibiotics compared to carbapenem antibiotics for treating adults with infections from ceftriaxone-resistant bacteria outside of the urinary tract.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 130 adult patients treated between 2018 and 2021, focusing on treatment failures, readmissions, and health outcomes.
- Results showed no significant difference in treatment failure rates between the two antibiotic types, but the noncarbapenem group had shorter hospital stays and a higher 30-day mortality rate, suggesting that noncarbapenem therapy could be effective for certain patients with these infections.
Bronchial Safety After Pulsed Field Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.
Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol
April 2023
Background: Thermal left atrial ablation can cause bronchial damage. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, nonthermal ablation modality for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. We report on bronchial effects after pulmonary vein isolation using PFA for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

The Southeastern Research Group Endeavor (SERGE-45) identified antimicrobial stewardship-related, peer-reviewed literature that detailed an "actionable" intervention among hospitalized populations during 2021. The top 13 publications were selected using a modified Delphi technique.
