Fluoroscopy-free cardioneuroablation for functional bradycardia: a single-center experience.
J Interv Card Electrophysiol

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a fluoroless Cardioneuroablation (CNA) approach in treating cardiac issues like syncope and AV block among 22 young patients (average age 21).
- The procedure successfully eliminated or reduced the vagal response in all patients, with an average operation time of 251 minutes and fluoroscopy avoided in 91% of cases.
- At follow-up (around 11.4 months later), 77% of patients were symptom-free, with 90% of those needing pacemakers not requiring further pacing, indicating a promising outcome without complications.
Article Synopsis
- Birds in tropical environments have varied life cycle timings due to consistent daylight hours, which have been under-researched in phenology studies.
- A study in Nigeria and Cameroon focused on common bulbuls, tracking their breeding and moult over a year while also examining local fruit and arthropod populations.
- Findings revealed that moult and breeding patterns differed significantly between the two sites, highlighting the influence of environmental factors like precipitation and resource availability on bird life cycles, which is crucial for conservation efforts.
Objectives: The objective was to study the effect of serial night shifts on the cognitive, psychomotor, and moral performance of emergency medicine residents of an academic Emergency Medicine Department.
Methods: This prospective case-crossover study compared emergency medicine residents' sleep time, subjective sleepiness, cognitive function, moral judgment, and psychomotor skills after 5 consecutive days versus night shifts using sleep diaries, activity monitors, and multiple performance tests. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze data based on normality.
In the current study, thirty bacterial strains isolated from the rhizosphere of Clerodendrum infortunatum L. were evaluated for the properties related to the plant growth promotion and disease resistance. Here, all the selected strains were screened for its antagonistic effect towards the phytopathogen Sclerotium rolfsii and also for the production of bioactive compounds known to promote the plant growth.

Currently, the primary focus of cyanobacterial research lies in gaining a more detailed understanding of these well-established ecosystem functions. However, their involvement and impact on other crucial biogeochemical cycles remain understudied.
