Background: Off-label under- and overdosing of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is not uncommon in real-world practice.
Objective: This study aimed to identify efficacy and safety of off-label DOACs dose after AF ablation.
Methods: The RYOUMA registry was a prospective multicenter study of Japanese patients who underwent AF ablation between 2017 and 2018.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of different anesthetics on two types of motor evoked potentials: transcranial (TcMEPs) and transesophageal (TeMEPs).
- The experiment involved anesthetizing pigs and measuring the responses of TcMEPs and TeMEPs at varying concentrations of desflurane and doses of propofol.
- The results showed that TeMEPs had significantly larger amplitudes than TcMEPs, indicating that TeMEPs are more resistant to anesthetic effects, making them a potentially better option for monitoring during surgery.
Background: Exercise training based on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) improves outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while nutritional status is also crucial. This study evaluated CPET implementation and the impacts of clinical parameters, including CPET and nutritional status, on 2-year outcomes in ACS patients.
Methods And Results: Data from 2,621 ACS patients enrolled in the Mie ACS registry were analyzed.
A newly discovered sandstone-dwelling species of the rock gecko, genus Cnemaspis, is described from Santubong National Park, 25 km north of Kuching, southwestern Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Molecular phylogenetic analysis confirmed that Cnemaspis puterisantubongae sp. nov.

In this review article, the rational design of cyclic peptide primary structures and their significant influence on self-assembly processes and functional capabilities are comprehensively reviewed. We emphasize how strategically modifying amino acid sequences and ring sizes critically dictate the formation and properties of peptide nanotubes (PNTs) and complex assemblies, such as rotaxanes.
