Background: Among patients with structural heart disease with ventricular tachycardia (VT) refractory to medical therapy and catheter ablation, cardiac stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a paradigm-changing treatment option.
Aims: To assess the efficacy of cardiac SBRT in refractory VT by comparing the rates of VT episodes, anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapies, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks post-SBRT with pre-SBRT.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature search and included all clinical studies reporting outcomes on cardiac SBRT for VT.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Robotic-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty (RATHA) versus Conventional Total Hip Arthroplasty (CTHA) on perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion requirements in patients with hip arthritis.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study, conducted at a high-volume tertiary care center from January 2021 to January 2023. Two hundred patients undergoing primary THA, were equally divided between RATHA (using the MAKO SmartRobotics system) and CTHA cohorts.
Objective: To assess whether there is any difference in the genetic association between Class II division 1 (div. 1) and division 2 (div. 2) malocclusions using PAX9 (rs8004560) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).
