Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze changes in treatment approaches for clinical stage I seminoma (CSIS) between 2000 and 2008, focusing on the use of surveillance and adjuvant chemotherapy compared to adjuvant radiotherapy (ART).
- The analysis revealed that while ART was initially the dominant treatment, there was a significant shift towards increased use of surveillance and adjuvant chemotherapy over the years, especially after 2004, across both academic and community practices.
- The researchers predict that maintaining current practices could lead to a notable number of secondary malignancies linked to ART, with fewer cases expected from increased surveillance strategies.

Methods: Seven days of preoperative continuous outpatient home electrocardiographic monitoring was performed on 50 patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation.
Background: Autonomic ganglionic plexi (GPs) have been implicated as triggers in lone atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to describe the technique and results of epicardial electrophysiologic mapping and the early effects of GP isolation.
Methods: Intraoperative epicardial electrophysiologic mapping was performed on 41 consecutive patients during a stand-alone minimally invasive operation for AF.
