Balloon-based catheter ablation including visually guided laser balloon (VGLB) has been adopted a first line therapeutic strategy for the patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, the roof area ablation beyond pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon has been described as an effective therapy for the patients with persistent AF. However, the roof area ablation performed with a VGLB remains unknown. In this case, we report the case of roof area ablation for the patient with persistent AF using a VGLB.

This work presents the mathematical definition and programming considerations of an efficient geometric algorithm used to add roofs to polyhedral 3D building models obtained from OpenStreetMap. The algorithm covers numerous roof shapes, including some well-defined shapes that lack an explicit reconstruction theory. These shapes include gabled, hipped, pyramidal, skillion, half-hipped, gambrel, and mansard.

Water is one of the most important influences on slope stability in open pit mines. In order to solve the problem of slope stability analysis in multi-aquifer open pit mines, the open pit mine in Block I of Thar Coalfield in Pakistan with multiple aquifers was taken as the research background. The groundwater flow field at different excavation phases was analyzed by numerical simulation method.

Concrete box subgrades constructed from reinforced concrete serve as alternatives to conventional fill subgrades, effectively addressing the scarcity of high-quality fill materials. A hybrid simulation approach that merges coupled dynamics with finite element modelling was adopted for both single-line and double-line ballastless track-box subgrade systems, enabling a comparative analysis of dynamic stress, displacement, and acceleration. The results reveal that, when the two traffic conditions are compared, the dynamic response of the concrete box subgrade under double-line opposing operation shows a marked increase, particularly when the dynamic displacement increases by 80%.

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.

Unlabelled: Pulmonary vein (PV) antrum isolation (PVAI) that involves electrically isolating PV foci is a useful treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, non-PV triggers during/after the PVAI are observed in approximately 30 % of AF cases, contributing to AF recurrence. We present the case of an 84-year-old woman who underwent ablation of recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal AF in our hospital.
