Nonpharmacologic rate control of postoperative atrial fibrillation in the canine sterile pericarditis model.

Introduction: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common following open heart surgery, and is associated with significant morbidity. Medications used for ventricular rate control of POAF may not be effective in controlling rapid ventricular rates during the postoperative period because of increased sympathetic tone. The purpose of this study was to develop nonpharmacologic rate control of POAF by atrioventricular node (AVN) fat pad stimulation using clinically available temporary pacing wires in the canine sterile pericarditis model.

Understanding Phantom Shocks in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Recipients.

Phantom shocks in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) recipients create a complex nexus between cardiac treatment and psychological distress. These sensations, mimicking therapeutic shocks without device activation, deeply affect patients' functionality and well-being. Heightened anxiety, depression, and hopelessness predispose individuals to these occurrences, posing significant challenges.

Effect of Yttrium doping on antibacterial and antioxidant property of LaTiO.

The advancement of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains and their adverse effects is one of the most significant global health issues. The perovskite nanomaterial with combined antioxidant and antibacterial activities in one molecule has the potential for improved therapeutic solutions. In this work, Yttrium-doped Lanthanum Titanate (LaTiYO, where x = 0, 0.

Influence of Te-Incorporated LaCoO on Structural, Morphology and Magnetic Properties for Multifunctional Device Applications.

A high perovskite activity is sought for use in magnetic applications. In this paper, we present the simple synthesis of (2.5% and 5%) Tellurium-impregnated-LaCoO (Te-LCO), Te and LaCoO (LCO) by using a ball mill, chemical reduction, and hydrothermal synthesis, respectively.

Influence of Ni and Sn Perovskite NiSn(OH) Nanoparticles on Energy Storage Applications.

New NiSn(OH) hexahydroxide nanoparticles were synthesised through a co-precipitation method using various concentrations of Ni and Sn ions (e.g., 1:0, 0:1, 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1; namely, N, S, NS-3, NS-2, and NS-1) with an ammonia solution.
