Left bundle branch area pacing is currently the most common form of physiological pacing prior to His bundle pacing. It is intended to prevent or correct the development of pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy and is being used more and more frequently. In order to be able to perform this successfully, knowledge regarding the specific anatomy and radiological anatomy as well as the ECG criteria for left bundle branch pacing is required in addition to knowledge of the tools.

- - The emergency plan at University Hospital Würzburg is crucial for managing mass casualty incidents and is legally required, involving regular drills to train staff and evaluate procedures.
- - A recent large-scale disaster drill tested various aspects of the emergency plan, including management structure, triage, and communication, using an anonymous questionnaire for evaluation.
- - While the UKW emergency plan generally performed well, improvements are necessary in communication, staff roles, and awareness of resources, highlighting the need for regular training to ensure effective responses in real emergencies.
Article Synopsis
- Plant-specialized metabolism is a rich source of bioactive compounds, like monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs), known for their health benefits including anticancer and neuroactive properties.
- The types of MIAs, particularly pachysiphine derivatives, have promising medical applications but are found in very low quantities in certain plant species, and there is a lack of genomic data needed to enhance their production.
- This study presents the genome sequence of the toad tree (Tabernaemontana elegans) and identifies genes that can synthesize pachysiphine, leading to engineered MIAs in yeast, thus paving the way for better production of these valuable compounds for pharmaceutical use.
Zebrafish is a natural host of various species and a surrogate model organism for tuberculosis research. is evolutionarily one of the closest non-tuberculous species related to and shares the majority of virulence genes. Although zebrafish is not a natural host of the human pathogen, we have previously demonstrated successful robotic infection of zebrafish embryos with and performed drug treatment of the infected larvae.
