In this study, a novel tunnel structure vanadate NaVO (NaVO) cathode for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) is facilely fabricated by thermal decomposition of polyoxovanadate containing NH ions. The NaVO cathode is characterized by abundant oxygen vacancies and nanometer dimensions. These attributes can offer extra reaction sites and suppress structural collapse during circulation.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors represent a cutting-edge class of oral antidiabetic therapeutics that operate through selective inhibition of glucose reabsorption in proximal renal tubules, consequently augmenting urinary glucose excretion and attenuating blood glucose levels. Extensive clinical investigations have demonstrated their profound cardiovascular efficacy. Parallel basic science research has elucidated the mechanistic pathways through which diverse SGLT-2 inhibitors beneficially modulate pulmonary vascular cells and arterial remodeling.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the adverse drug events (ADEs) associated with tolvaptan in the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System database from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2024.

Methods: After standardizing the data, various signal detection techniques, including Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR), Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network, and Multi-Item Gamma Poisson Shrinker, were employed for analysis.

Results: Among the 7,486 ADE reports where tolvaptan was the primary suspected drug, a total of 196 preferred terms were identified, spanning 24 different system organ classes.

Purpose: Pacemaker-related infections are serious complications of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). This case report aims to describe the occurrence of pacemaker pocket infection and recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) in a Chinese amateur violinist with sick sinus syndrome (SSS), and to explore the possible connection between occupational habits and the infection, as well as VT.

Methods: A 76-year-old male violinist with a Biotronik Evia DR dual-chamber pacemaker presented with syncope and signs of a pacemaker pocket infection three years after implantation.
