Article Synopsis
- The study examined the long-term survival of pacemaker and defibrillator leads in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease over a 30-year period, revealing overall lead survival rates of 87% at 10 years and 69% at 20 years.
- It identified factors that contributed to earlier lead failure, including male sex, younger age, significant somatic growth, lead location, and implantation technique.
- The most critical factor linked to lead failure was significant patient somatic growth of 5 cm/year or more, which affected both lead performance and the relationship between demographic characteristics and lead longevity.
Purpose: This study investigated symptoms of anxiety and depression, feelings of loneliness, and life satisfaction among low-to-middle income Peruvian adolescents during 2 years of remote schooling due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
Methods: We used a four-wave longitudinal observational approach. Data were collected in April 2020, October 2020, June 2021, and November 2021 in Perú.
A mild phenotype associated with p.V205M mediated long QT syndrome in First Nations children of Northern British Columbia: effect of additional variants and considerations for management.

Article Synopsis
- - Congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is prevalent in a Northern British Columbia First Nations community, mainly due to the p.V205M variant, but there's limited data on how it affects children compared to adults.
- - In a study examining 186 children from birth to age 18, the p.V205M variant significantly increased the corrected QT interval (QTc), with a notable increase in females, while the p.P479L variant was linked to higher odds of experiencing seizures or syncope.
- - The study concluded that the p.V205M variant leads to QTc prolongation, particularly in females, but the p.P479L variant poses a greater risk for seizures, emphasizing the need for further
Methane is a major contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Identifying large sources of methane, particularly from the oil and gas sectors, will be essential for mitigating climate change. Aircraft-based methane sensing platforms can rapidly detect and quantify methane point-source emissions across large geographic regions, and play an increasingly important role in industrial methane management and greenhouse gas inventory.

We integrate approximately one million aerial site measurements into regional emissions inventories for six regions in the USA, comprising 52% of onshore oil and 29% of gas production over 15 aerial campaigns. We construct complete emissions distributions for each, employing empirically grounded simulations to estimate small emissions.
