Atrial Topology for a Unified Understanding of Typical and Atypical Flutter.

Article Synopsis
- Macroreentry is the main cause of typical and atypical flutter, but many questions about it remain unanswered, prompting a study that uses topology to investigate atrial tachycardia activation patterns.
- Researchers utilized a computational model resembling a closed sphere with holes to analyze cases of tachycardia, focusing on activation maps and ablation responses in 131 clinical cases.
- The study's findings suggest that reentrant activity on closed surfaces consistently shows paired rotation, and through mathematical principles, they established a framework to better understand flutter and its treatment outcomes.
COVID-19 is associated with heterogeneous outcome. Early identification of a severe progression of the disease is essential to properly manage the patients and improve their outcome. Biomarkers reflecting an increased inflammatory response, as well as individual features including advanced age, male gender, and pre-existing comorbidities, are risk factors of severe COVID-19.

Methods: Chest computed tomography (CT) performed prior to, and ≥12 months after initiation of ETI were visually reviewed for possible reversal of bronchial dilatations. AwCF with and without reversal of bronchial dilatation (the latter served as controls with 3 controls per case) were selected.
Objective: To describe clinical and early shoulder-girdle MR imaging findings in severe COVID-19-related intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) after ICU discharge.
Methods: A single-center prospective cohort study of all consecutive patients with COVID-19-related ICU-AW from November 2020 to June 2021. All patients underwent similar clinical evaluations and shoulder-girdle MRI within the first month and then 3 months (± 1 month) after ICU discharge.
