Intensive care unit patients often experience memory disturbances, including missing or delusional memories. These memory distortions can contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In addition, distorted memories may adversely affect long-term quality of life.

Objectives: To clarify the Japanese real-world latest periprocedural anticoagulation management during AF ablation.
Methods: This multicenter observational study included 6232 consecutive AF patients (68.
Background: Pediatric lumbar spondylolysis (LS) is common in junior and senior high school athletes. Lower LS (L4-L5 level) is more common in children, and upper LS (L1-L3 level) is relatively rare; therefore, the pathogenesis of upper LS remains unclear.
Purpose: To elucidate the mechanisms of upper LS by identifying and comparing characteristics between upper and lower LS cases.
Background/objectives: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is diagnosed when hepatic steatosis is proven by imaging and one of the five cardiometabolic criteria is present. The relationship between MASLD and body composition components has recently received increased research attention. However, the five cardiometabolic criteria do not include components of body composition.

- This study examines factors influencing the failure of left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) isolation during cryoballoon (CB) procedure, even when complete occlusion is achieved.
- Researchers analyzed 300 patients undergoing ablation, identifying two groups based on their LSPV isolation results: those needing additional freezing (Group A) and those only needing complete occlusion (Group B).
- Key findings show that Group A had larger LSPV diameters, higher left atrial volumes, and different freezing conditions, suggesting the importance of balloon positioning for effective isolation in challenging cases.
