JET (junctional ectopic tachycardia) is a complicated and rare form of supraventricular tachycardia that is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Pharmaceutical management can be insufficient, and cryoablation has been described for congenital JET management. We describe cryoablation for congenital JET in an prior 32-week gestational aged, 18-month-old (corrected 16-month-old) with no JET post-ablation with normal Holter and follow-up within 6 months following cryoablation. This report demonstrates the safety and feasibility of cryoablation in patients as young as 18 months old.

Introduction: Despite of numerous studies of the placenta, some molecular and cellular characteristics, particularly the relationship among different cell types, have not been well understood. We aim to investigate the basic and intricate details of cellular and molecular elements in early and late phase placentas to gain better understanding of the immune regulation of human reproductive process.

Methods: A novel combination of techniques of spatial transcriptomics(ST), multiple immunohistochemistry, and a dual labeling combining immunohistochemistry and (fluorescence in situ hybridization) FISH on normal and ectopic pregnancy and animal models was employed to investigate the placenta at tissue, cell, protein and molecular levels and to trace the fetal and maternal origin of every cell in early and late placentas.

Background: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is very common in daily clinical practice, especially in the emergency department, with rapid onset and urgent management. The review highlights the recent genetic predispositions and mechanisms in SVT.

Methods: Through analysis of epidemiology, familial clustering, and gene mutations of the relevant literature,the review elucidates the genetic properties and potential pathophysiology of SVT.

Introduction: Portal hypertension is a common complication of liver cirrhosis. Varices are dilated collaterals that develop as a result of portal hypertension at the level of the porto-systemic connections and can cause a shift in the blood flow from high to low pressure. Common locations for porto-systemic shunts are the lower oesophagus and the gastric fundus.

Marked first-degree atrioventricular block with a PR interval ≥500 ms is rare, leading to unusual P-wave placement. In this case, the P waves immediately after the QRS waves complicated rhythm interpretation. Close attention to P-wave morphology and fused premature ventricular complexes can be important for a proper diagnosis.
