How to assess fitness to drive in patients with cardiac rhythm disturbances through an applicable decision support system.

Disturbances in cardiac rhythm affect a significant fraction of the population; they can have an ample range of repercussions on one person's quality of life, from negligible to lethal. As an implication, arrhythmias concern many private, commercial and public-passenger-vehicle driving licence holders. In their practice, medical professionals can be asked to assess an arrhythmia patient's fitness to drive effectively.

Cervical ultrasound for endotracheal intubation confirmation in dogs by veterinary students: a cadaveric study.

Although endotracheal intubation is usually a simple and fast procedure in dogs, some situations can be challenging and lead to the risk of tube misplacement in the esophagus-a life-threatening complication. Hence, confirming intubation is a cornerstone whenever this procedure is performed. Methods such as direct visualization or capnography present limitations insofar as they may be unreliable or unavailable under some circumstances.

Twenty-year experience of atrial fibrillation ablation: a single-centre cohort study.

Aims: While several studies in the literature have reported results of catheter ablation of AF, few is known regarding outcome for more than 10 years.

Methods And Results: The complete population of patients who underwent AF ablation in the years 2002-2021 in the department of cardiology of the hospital of Reggio Emilia has been analysed. The last follow-up was made in the second half of 2022.

STereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation (STAR): the Standardized Treatment and Outcome Platform for Stereotactic Therapy Of Re-entrant tachycardia by a Multidisciplinary consortium (STOPSTORM.eu) and review of current patterns of STAR practice in Europe.

The EU Horizon 2020 Framework-funded Standardized Treatment and Outcome Platform for Stereotactic Therapy Of Re-entrant tachycardia by a Multidisciplinary (STOPSTORM) consortium has been established as a large research network for investigating STereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation (STAR) for ventricular tachycardia (VT). The aim is to provide a pooled treatment database to evaluate patterns of practice and outcomes of STAR and finally to harmonize STAR within Europe. The consortium comprises 31 clinical and research institutions.
