Males of four new species of caddisflies, Polyplectropus hofmaierae n. sp. (Polycentropodidae), Eoneureclipsis chinachotiae n. sp. (Psychomyiidae), Hydropsyche khaonanensis n. sp. (Hydropsychidae), and Lannapsyche tairomyenensis n. sp. (Odontoceridae) are described and illustrated. Polyplectropus hofmaierae n. sp. is distinguished from other species by the shape of the apical end of its inferior appendages and its sharp intermediate appendages. The posterior edges of their inferior appendages run slanting to the ventrodistal point and are densely covered by short and stiff bristles. Eoneureclipsis chinachotiae n. sp. is differentiated by characters of its phallus, as the first two thirds of its length are slender and slightly curved. The distal part has a dorsal hump with a very slender thread on its caudal edge and is slightly bent downward and dilated. Hydropsyche khaonanensis n. sp. can be differentiated from the other species by its phallus, in which the two apicolateral lobes in ventral view have rounded outer edges. Lannapsyche tairomyenensis n. sp. can be separated from the others by characteristics of the dorsal view of segment IX and the harpago of its inferior appendages. Segment IX is triangular with distinctly convex preanal appendages along the posterior edge of this segment, and the harpago and subapical lobes are relatively similar in shape and length.

Background: Fractionated atrial potential (FAP) during sinus rhythm (SR) may be a new target for ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the effects of the direction of activation and premature atrial contraction (PAC) on FAP is unknown. Therefore, we examined the impact of anisotropic conduction and PAC on the distribution and areas of FAP.

Two new species of Metrichia from Roraima State, Brazil, are described and illustrated, representing additional records of Metrichia from the Brazilian Amazon biome. The male of Metrichia iracema sp nov. is characterized by inferior appendages each elongate, with an acute apical projection and a deep C-shaped notch, tergum X apex slightly incised, and dorsal hook with a longer dorsal branch extending anterad.

Background: Radiofrequency balloon (RFB) ablation (HELIOSTAR™, Biosense Webster) has been developed to improve pulmonary vein ablation efficiency over traditional point-by-point RF ablation approaches. We aimed to find effective parameters for RFB ablation that result in chronic scar verified by late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR).
Methods: A chronic canine model (n = 8) was used to ablate in the superior vena cava (SVC), the right superior and the left inferior pulmonary vein (RSPV and LIPV), and the left atrial appendage (LAA) with a circumferential ablation approach (RF energy was delivered to all electrodes simultaneously) for 20 s or 60 s.

Primary simple conjunctival cysts are congenital, non-neoplastic, fluid-filled lesions lined by non-keratinizing squamous epithelium without dermal appendages. They are usually located in the anterior superonasal or superotemporal orbit and are typically managed with complete surgical excision. A 69-year-old woman presented with a 10-month history of diplopia and a 2-week history of right lower eyelid swelling.
