Intracardiac echocardiography to guide catheter ablation of an accessory pathway in Ebstein's anomaly. A case report.

We present the case of a 17-year-old girl with Ebstein anomaly and repeated episodes of reentrant tachycardia due to a right posterior accessory pathway. Catheter ablation was performed using intracardiac echocardiography. A ViewFlex Xtra probe was inserted and showed an anormal tricuspid valve with elongated anterior leaflet and low insertion of the septal leaflet towards the apex.

Genetic diversity and structure of Rhizobium leguminosarum populations associated with clover plants are influenced by local environmental variables.

The identification and conservation of indigenous rhizobia associated with legume plants and their application as biofertilizers is becoming an agricultural worldwide priority. However, little is known about the genetic diversity and phylogeny of rhizobia in Romania. In the present study, the genetic diversity and population composition of Rhizobium leguminosarum symbiovar trifolii isolates from 12 clover plants populations located across two regions in Romania were analyzed.
