An accessible workflow for high-sensitivity proteomics using parallel accumulation-serial fragmentation (PASEF).

Deep and accurate proteome analysis is crucial for understanding cellular processes and disease mechanisms; however, it is challenging to implement in routine settings. In this protocol, we combine a robust chromatographic platform with a high-performance mass spectrometric setup to enable routine yet in-depth proteome coverage for a broad community. This entails tip-based sample preparation and pre-formed gradients (Evosep One) combined with a trapped ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometer (timsTOF, Bruker).

Repeat Procedures After Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: MANIFEST-REDO Study.

Background: Initial clinical studies of pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) indicated a >90% durability rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, these studies were largely conducted in single centers and involved a limited number of operators. The electrophysiological findings and outcomes in patients undergoing repeat ablation after an initial PF ablation for AF are incompletely understood.

DIAMACC: protocol of a prospective diagnostic accuracy study of the maximal systolic acceleration to detect peripheral arterial disease in patients with diabetes-related foot ulceration in the Netherlands.

Introduction: Foot ulcers are one of the most serious complications of diabetes, leading to significant risks on amputation and mortality. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an important factor for the development and the outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Although prompt and accurate detection of PAD is critical to reduce complications, its diagnosis can be challenging with currently used bedside tests (such as ankle-brachial index and toe pressure) due to medial arterial calcification.

A comparison of immersion-based and spray-based crate washing systems on the impact of spp. reduction.

1.During transport of broilers from farms to slaughterhouses, the interior of crates may become contaminated with faeces. When these crates are not cleaned and disinfected adequately, they pose a potential risk for the dissemination of pathogens, including spp.

The well-being of polish general practitioners during the COVID-19 pandemic-cross-sectional questionnaire-based study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused psychological distress to the population and healthcare workers. Physicians' well-being is essential and contributes significantly to overall health. This study aimed to assess the strain on Polish general practitioners from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and to ascertain the potential predictors of their distress.
