Aim: To assess effect of radio frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) on heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with supraventricular tachyarrhythmias (SVT).
Methods: Spectral analysis of HRV on 5-minute ECG strips was carried out in 19 patients with SVT before and 2 days after RFCA.
Results: Both total and high frequency power significantly decreased (p<0,05) after RFCA in supine and orthostatic positions. Significant decrease of low frequency power occurred after RFCA in orthostatic position.
Conclusion: In patients with SVT RFCA alters autonomic regulation of chronotropic function of the heart. Sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on the chronotropic function of the heart are attenuated in early period after the procedure.

SbTe-based flexible thin films can be utilized in the fabrication of self-powered wearable devices due to their huge potential in thermoelectric performance. Although doping can significantly enhance the power factor value, the process of identifying suitable dopants is typically accompanied by numerous repeating experiments. Herein, we introduce Zn doping into thermally diffused p-type SbTe flexible thin films with a candidate dopant validated using the first-principles calculations.

In this study, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a terahertz on-chip topological pathway that exhibits exceptional transmission robustness, unaffected by structural curvature. The pathway is constructed using a subwavelength structure that combines the benefits of topological properties, such as broadband single-mode transmission and linear dispersion, with the field localization effects of periodic metal structures.

The photonic integrated circuit (PIC) consists of a gain section, a slotted mirror section and a Fabry-Perot (FP) section. Optical frequency combs (OFCs) are produced by gain switching the FP section via a high power radio frequency (RF) signal.

The creation of hybrid systems that can meet and largely satisfy these needs is promised by the merging of systems based on optical communication and radio frequency (RF). Smart devices may work together to cooperatively train Machine Learning (ML) models in a distributed fashion using Federated Learning (FL), all without disclosing personal information to a central server.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBroadband minimalist wireless base stations without energy-consuming electrical power amplifiers are the rosy scenario of the next-generation wireless communication systems. High-power radio-over-fiber (RoF) links, which are featured by large operation bandwidths, are regarded as the supporting technology for realizing such a vision. Nevertheless, the severe signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) deterioration induced by the second Brillouin scattering in high-power and long-distance RoF links must be first solved.
