Rare Presentation of Isolated Scar Site Recurrence in a Case of Carcinoma Cervix.

Published: December 2019

Scar site recurrence is a rare phenomenon and is even rarer in squamous cell carcinoma. We present a special case of isolated scar site recurrence in a patient with carcinoma cervix detected on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography, 2 years after hysterectomy and radiotherapy.

Objective: This study aims to compare the postoperative thoracic deformity and scar aesthetic outcomes of auricular reconstruction between the conventional large-incision technique and small-incision technique with perichondrium preservation for costal cartilage harvesting.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 134 patients who underwent auricular reconstruction using tissue expanders and autologous costal cartilage harvested from the right chest wall between January 2021 and September 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to the harvesting technique: the traditional large-incision group (n = 64) and the small-incision group with perichondrium preservation (n = 70).

Background: Atypical atrial tachycardia (AT) is a commonly encountered rhythm disorder especially in patients with underlying atrial scar. Peak frequency (PF) annotation of bipolar electrograms is a novel method, which mainly aims to discriminate near-field and far-field signals.

Objective: To evaluate the association between PF annotation of low-voltage zones (LVZ) and deceleration zones (DZ) during sinus / paced rhythm and their role to predict the critical isthmus (CI) and termination sites of atypical ATs.

Functional recovery following spinal cord injury will require the regeneration and repair of damaged neuronal pathways. It is well known that the tissue response to injury involves inflammation and the formation of a glial scar at the lesion site, which significantly impairs the capacity for neuronal regeneration and functional recovery. There are initial attempts by both supraspinal and intraspinal neurons to regenerate damaged axons, often influenced by the neighboring tissue pathology.

Background: Programmed electrical stimulation (PES) is an essential part of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures, but VT is not always inducible, usually for reasons that are not clear.

Objectives: This study sought to review pacing site-specific failure of PES to induce scar-related VT and to provide a potential mechanistic explanation of the phenomena using a computer simulation.

Methods: Six patients in whom aggressive PES from traditional RV pacing sites failed to induce VT, but VT was easily inducible from a nontraditional site, were reviewed.

The Accuracy of Cardiac Surface Conduction Velocity Measurements.

JACC Clin Electrophysiol

December 2024

The Hull Family Cardiac Fibrillation Management Laboratory, Toronto General Hospital, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Background: Conduction velocity (CV) is a measure of the health of myocardial tissue. It can be measured by taking differences in local activation times from intracardiac electrodes. Several factors introduce error into the measurement, among which ignoring the 3-dimensional aspect is a major detriment.
