Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the predictive utility of perioperative P-wave parameters in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) undergoing catheter ablation, and to develop a predictive model using these parameters.
Methods: A total of 213 patients with PAF undergoing catheter ablation were retrospectively analyzed. P-wave parameters were measured within 3 days preoperatively and on the day postoperatively to determine their predictive significance for postoperative PAF recurrence.

This study aims to investigate the influence of cadmium (Cd) speciation transformation on P-wave velocity under different soil moisture conditions, providing critical insights into the subsurface characteristics of contaminated soils. Taking Cd-contaminated soil as the research subject, P-wave velocity and the speciation distribution of Cd in soils with different moisture contents and Cd adsorption levels were measured. The results reveal that when the soil is contaminated by Cd, the porosity is altered and it eventually lead to change P-wave velocity.

The quest for anisotropic superconductors has been a long-standing pursuit due to their potential applications in quantum computing. In this regard, experimentally, d-wave and anisotropic s-wave superconducting order parameters are predominantly observed, while p-wave superconductors remain largely elusive. Achieving p-wave superconductivity in topological phases is highly desirable, as it is considered suitable for creating topologically protected qubits.

Background: The impact of androgens on metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and long-term mortality in the general female population remains poorly understood. This study, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seeks to elucidate the relationship between androgen levels and metabolic syndrome (MS), CVD, and mortality in adult women.
Methods: After excluding ineligible individuals, descriptive analyses were conducted on demographic characteristics, metabolic-related indicators, and disease prevalence, based on the presence of high androgenemia and androgen quartile grouping.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a vital device to examine the electrical activities of the heart. It is useful for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, which often manifest themselves through alterations in the ECG signals' characteristics. These alterations are primarily observed in the signals' key components: the Q, R, S, T, and P peaks.
