Left bundle branch area pacing in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: a case series.

Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis is associated with various arrhythmias, including atrioventricular block. Despite this correlation, established treatments for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis-associated arrhythmias are lacking. Left bundle branch area pacing is a promising physiological pacing technique.

Utility of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and pretreatment tooth extraction in intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy for oral cancer to prevent osteoradionecrosis of the jaw.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of inflammation-based prognostic scores (IBPS) in predicting ORN among patients undergoing superselective intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy (SSIACRT). This retrospective cohort study examined the medical records of 54 patients with advanced oral cancer (stage 3 or 4) treated with SSIACRT. The predictor variable was IBPS.

Effects of High Hydrostatic Pressure on the Distribution of Oligosaccharides, Pinitol, Soysapapogenol A, and Fatty Acids in Soybean.

The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (100-600 MPa for 10-60 min) and thermal treatment (boiling for 10-60 min) on oligosaccharides, pinitol, and soyasapogenol A as taste ingredients in soybean ( (L.) Merr.) (cv.
