A 53-year-old male presented to our emergency department with a sudden onset of ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block and right axis deviation. After the tachyarrhythmia converting to sinus rhythm, the ECG displayed sinus rhythm with a typical epsilon wave in leads V1 and V2. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) was suspected. The epsilon wave is the most specific hallmark for the diagnosis of ARVD/C, although it is insensitive. For the management of these patients, antiarrhythmic medications appear to be effective. However, implantable cardioverter defibrillators are the only reliable treatment to prevent sudden cardiac death.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how wetting speed, polymer mechanical properties, and deformation characteristics are related in graft copolymers made from acrylic monomers and macromonomers.
- It found that the mechanical properties of the polymer films could be changed without significantly affecting their water contact angles by adjusting the macromonomer composition.
- The research concluded that there is a direct correlation between the height of ridge structures formed during wetting and the wetting speed, which can help in designing materials with specific wetting properties relevant for various applications.

Substitutional nitrogen impurities within the diamond lattice, known as P1 centers, have unpaired electrons that can mediate microwave driven dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). In this paper we explore DNP of the bulk C spins in micrometer-sized P1 diamond particles and demonstrate a 550-fold DNP enhancement of the bulk C spins at room temperature in a 9 T magnetic field or 250 GHz for ≈ 2 electrons. We study the DNP mechanisms, exploring their dependence on sample spinning frequency and microwave irradiation frequency using both continuous wave and frequency swept microwave irradiation, and discuss the results alongside recent DNP studies in the literature.
