Captan dislodgeable foliar residues (DFRs) were determined by following the applications of this fungicide in an apple orchard. The study comprised an investigation of the variability of captan DFR values and 14 days of DFR monitoring to assess kinetic modeling. A method combining solid-phase microextraction (SPME) gas chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-QTOF-MS) was developed for the quantification of captan residues from DFR aqueous extracts.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates epicardial unipolar mapping in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) and compares it to patients with cardiomyopathy to identify unique characteristics.
  • Findings reveal that patients with BrS have significantly higher J-wave amplitudes and a greater repolarization time dispersion index, which can be indicative of the syndrome with high sensitivity and specificity.
  • The research highlights that the steep repolarization gradients observed in BrS patients may contribute to arrhythmias, suggesting a unique electrical profile that differentiates it from cardiomyopathy.

Most forms of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) are caused by re-entry, resulting from altered myocardial conduction and refractoriness secondary to underlying structural heart disease. In contrast, VT caused by triggered activity (TA) is unrelated to an abnormal structural substrate and is often caused by molecular defects affecting ion channel function or regulation of intracellular calcium cycling. This review summarizes the cellular and molecular bases underlying TA and exemplifies their clinical relevance with selective representative scenarios.
