Objective: Since evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of acute supraventricular tachyarrhythmia (SVT) in pregnancy are not available, our objective was to document published reports and immediate outcomes in this patient population.
Data Sources: A search of the literature was performed using Medline, Embase, CINAHL, American College of Physicians Journal Club, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, and Cochrance Central Register of Controlled Trials, using key word searching and citations in the English language literature from January 1950 to March 2010, on the subject of SVT.
Study Selection/data Extraction: We reviewed 38 studies (case-controlled cohort studies, case series, and case reports) using the key words "supraventricular tachycardia," "paroxysmal tachycardia," and "atrial tachycardia," combined with "pregnancy" or "pregnancy complications."
Conclusion: No randomized controlled trials have addressed the acute treatment of SVT in pregnancy. If non-invasive manoeuvres fail, adenosine should be the first-line agent for treatment if needed during the second and third trimester. There is a paucity of data on management of SVT in the first trimester.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to the daily challenges that HF poses, acute exacerbations can lead to costly hospitalizations and increased mortality. High health care costs and the burden of HF have led to the emerging application of new technologies to support people living with HF to stay well while living in the community.

: The acute effects of static stretching (SS) on dynamic balance, a key fitness component that contributes to injury prevention, has been a subject of significant debate. This study aimed to investigate the acute effect of short-duration SS exercises on dynamic balance following different recovery durations in youth female volleyball players. : Thirteen volunteers U-14 female players were included.

However, ATO administration requires daily infusions over several months, representing an onerous burden for hospitals and patients. We evaluated the bioavailability of a novel encapsulated oral ATO formulation in APL patients in first complete remission during standard-of-care consolidation.

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity in lipid signaling underlies variations in response and recurrence for many cancers, including leukemias. A highly parallel, miniaturized thin-layer chromatographic platform capable of assaying single cells was developed. Ultrasmall volumes (50 pL) of standard fluorescent lipids were separated with excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and limits of detection.
