Article Synopsis
- Very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) radiofrequency ablation for pulmonary vein isolation shows reduced ablation times and better patient tolerance compared to traditional methods.
- In a study of 58 patients undergoing vHPSD, results indicated significantly shorter procedural and RF times, along with reduced need for anesthetic drugs compared to a control group.
- The vHPSD method allowed for effective PV isolation under mild conscious sedation, with a notably lower pain experience reported by patients.
Evidence shows that individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 experience an altered metabolic state in multiple organs. Metabolic activities are directly involved in modulating immune responses against infectious diseases, yet our understanding of how host metabolism relates to inflammatory responses remains limited. To better elucidate the underlying biochemistry of the leukocyte response, we focused our analysis on possible relationships between SARS-CoV-2 post-infection stages and distinct metabolic pathways.

The critical and severe nature of these symptoms often makes necessary the use of psychotropic drugs. A working group composed of experts in multiple disciplines had the task of creating an agreement regarding a management plan for severe acute behavioral and emotional problems (SABEPs) in children and adolescents treated for cancer.

Methods: It includes patients with pT4N0 glottic SCC who underwent TL and unilateral or bilateral ND with or without PORT. Divided in two comparison groups: the first group underwent adjuvant RT (TL-PORT); the second group referred to clinical and radiological follow-up (TL).
