An 84-year-old woman with type B Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) with Ebstein anomaly was admitted with heart failure. She had rapid wide QRS tachycardia due to accessory pathway (AP) conduction associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Since transesophageal echocardiography before catheter ablation showed a left atrial thrombus, ablation was performed using a 3D mapping system under AF. After marking the functional tricuspid anulus with intra-cardiac echocardiography, 3D intra-cardiac electrogram visualization (ripple map) during AF enabled clear identification of location of the AP. After ablation, there was no complication of cerebral infarction, and the heart failure improved.

The initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) are intimately associated with genetic, environmental and biological factors. (DSV), a sulfate-reducing bacterium, has been found excessive growth in CRC patients, suggesting a potential role in carcinogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this association remain incompletely understood.

The annotated and predicted genomes of five archaeal strains (AS1, AS2, AS8, AS11 and AS19), isolated from Sfax solar saltern sediments (Tunisia) and affiliated with , were performed by RAST webserver (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) and NCBI prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline (PGAP). The results showed the ability of strains to use a reduced semi-phosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose degradation and an Embden-Meyerhof one for gluconeogenesis. They could use glucose, fructose, glycerol, and acetate as sole source of carbon and energy.

Diet influence on male sexual maturation through interplay between insulin signaling and juvenile hormone in insects.

In animals, sexual maturation coincides with the development of sexual behaviors and reproductive system. These developmental events are influenced by diet and governed by endocrine signals. Here, for the first time in insects, we explored functional links between nutrition and juvenile hormone (JH) in the male reproductive physiology through the insulin signaling pathway (ISP) acting as a transducer of nutritional signals.

" Accumulibacter" is a unique and pivotal genus of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms prevalent in wastewater treatment plants and plays mainstay roles in the global phosphorus cycle. However, the efforts to fully understand their genetic and metabolic characteristics are largely hindered by major limitations in existing sequence-based annotation methods. Here, we reported an integrated approach combining pangenome analysis, protein structure prediction and clustering, and meta-omic characterization, to uncover genetic and metabolic traits previously unexplored for .
