Introduction: Mapping of the antegrade fast pathway (A-FP) exact sites and antegrade slow pathway (A-SP) input locations has not been well described.
Methods: In 56 patients with slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (SF-AVNRT), pacing during sinus rhythm and entrainment pacing during SF-AVNRT were performed at various sites in the triangle of Koch and coronary sinus (CS) to identify the A-FP and A-SP inputs. User-defined three-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping of the stimulus-His potential (St-H) interval and anatomical location was performed. The A-FP input was defined as the site of the shortest St-H interval, and A-SP input as the site of the shortest St-H interval and with a postpacing-interval equal to the tachycardia cycle length. The locations of the A-FP and A-SP inputs were mapped as a ratio of the distance between the His bundle (HB) and CS orifice (CSO), and the HB-CSO axis was divided into three zones: superior-, mid-, and inferior septum. The distance between the A-SP and A-FP inputs was calculated using the distance from each input to the HB and HB-CSO axis.
Results: Only 30 patients were included in this study because the A-SP mapping failed in 26. The A-SP input was distributed to the superior septum in four, mid- or inferior septum in 25, and CS in one. An A-SP input which was located less than 10 mm from the A-FP input was observed in one of four patients with a superior septum A-SP.
Conclusions: An A-SP input at the superior septum seemed to be a potential risk for atrioventricular nodal injury during ablation.

A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation of Yb-doped cladding-pumped, mJ-level, excitation-balanced fiber pulse amplifiers (EBFAs) is presented. In EBFAs, two pumps, one above (anti-Stokes pump, or ASP) and one below (Stokes pump, or SP) the signal wavelength, are utilized to reduce the net thermal energy generated due to the quantum defect. From the results of the FDTD simulation, detailed analyses on the fiber length optimization, excited Yb population evolution, pump and signal power evolution, optical-to-optical (o-o) conversion efficiency, wall plug efficiency, as well as thermal energy generation are performed.

Introduction: Simulated patients (SPs) are individuals who have learned to realistically portray patient roles in health professional education. Program recommendations are increasing for simulation programs, and as key stakeholders, SPs' perspectives seem underrepresented. The aim of the study was to explore the experiences, perspectives, and practices of SPs to gain insights on topics of importance to SPs and inform program recommendations.

Development and exploration of an organic contaminant fate model using poly-parameter linear free energy relationships.

Octanol-based partitioning relationships, referred to as single-parameter linear free energy relationships (SP-LFERS), are often criticized for their limited applicability to polar organic substances. Therefore, SP-LFERS describing environmental phase partitioning in CoZMo-POP2, a dynamic multimedia chemical fate model, are replaced with poly-parameter linear free energy relationships (PP-LFERS) which describe temperature-dependent partitioning as the linear sum of various specific and nonspecific molecular interactions. A data set of chemicals with available solute descriptors, which quantify these molecular interactions, is compiled from the literature and, together with a data set of hypothetical chemicals, used to investigate the differences in the predictions of SP-LFER- and PP-LFER-based model in relative and absolute terms for three different emission scenarios.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of-and to estimate the absorbed dose to-tumor cells from radioimmunotherapy (RIT) in an ovarian cancer model using the alpha-particle-emitting nuclide (211)At labeled to monoclonal antibody (mAb) MX35. Previous studies on mAb MOv18 did not allow for dosimetry because of antigen shedding in vitro.
Methods: Five-week-old female nude BALB/c nu/nu mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with 1 x 10(7) cells of the human tumor cell line OVCAR-3.
