Background: Nowadays, we observe a growing interest in conduction system pacing (CSP). Therefore, we expect the number of patients with CSP to increase significantly in the coming years. However, there is a lack of large data on transvenous lead extraction (TLE) procedures of CSP leads, particularly His bundle pacing (HBP) leads in the adult population.
Aims: This study aimed to present the experience of performing TLE procedures in patients with CSP leads using a non-stylet-driven Medtronic 3830 lead in two tertiary lead extraction centers in Poland.
Methods: A prospective analysis of the records involved of all patients with HBP leads who underwent TLE from October 2011 to November 2023.
Results: The study involved 38 patients, at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of 69.7 (65.6-76.0) years, 8 of whom were female (21.1%). The median (IQR) lead dwell time was 15.5 (8.7-19.8) months. Thirty leads were removed using simple traction, while 8 leads required mechanical extraction tools. All leads with lead dwell time over 42 months required mechanical extraction tools. The median (IQR) fluoroscopy time was 1.03 (0.07-11.5) min. There were no intra-procedural major or minor complications. Radiological and clinical success was achieved in 100% of targeted CSP leads.
Conclusion: TLE from the His bundle and left bundle branch region is a safe and effective procedure, with no lasting damage to the His-Purkinje system. Successful re-implantation of the lead in the His-Purkinje conduction system is possible in most cases.

Background: Opioids are still being prescribed to manage acute postsurgical pain. Unnecessary opioid prescriptions can lead to addiction and death, as unused tablets are easily diverted.
Methods: To determine whether combination nonopioid analgesics are at least as good as opioid analgesics, a multisite, double-blind, randomized, stratified, noninferiority comparative effectiveness trial was conducted, which examined patient-centered outcomes after impacted mandibular third-molar extraction surgery.

Cognitive load stimulates neural activity, essential for understanding the brain's response to stress-inducing stimuli or mental strain. This study examines the feasibility of evaluating cognitive load by extracting, selection, and classifying features from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We employed robust local mean decomposition (R-LMD) to decompose EEG data from each channel, recorded over a four-second period, into five modes.

The cultivation of edible mushrooms plays a significant role in revitalizing numerous rural regions in China. However, this process generates a large amount of spent mushroom substrate (SMS). Traditional methods for handling SMS, such as random stacking and incineration, lead to resource waste and environmental pollution.

The genus Chrysanthemum has been widely used as both folk medicine and food in East Asia for thousands of years, serving as a significant source of nutritional and pharmacological value. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it clears heat and toxic materials and regulates liver function. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that polysaccharides from the genus Chrysanthemum, especially Chrysanthemum morifolium, Chrysanthemum indicum, and Coreopsis tinctoria, are vital representative macromolecules with diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antitumor, and antiviral properties as well as the ability to regulate the gut microbiota.
