Complete heart block in women of childbearing age is rare, and incidental diagnosis during pregnancy is more uncommon. Hence, there remain no well-established guidelines on the management of patients with complete heart block presenting in labor. Here, we present a 26-year-old full-term primigravida, with no known previous cardiac history, in active labor with asymptomatic bradycardia in the 30-40s unresponsive to atropine augmentation. After multidisciplinary consultation, the decision was to proceed with delivery as planned without indication for a temporary pacemaker. The patient successfully delivered a full-term infant via operative vaginal delivery, with an ensuing cardiac workup completed postpartum.

Here, we present a protocol for conditional mutagenesis in zebrafish germ cells using Tol2 transposon and a CRISPR-Cas9-based plasmid system. We describe steps for conditional mutagenesis plasmid construction, zebrafish embryo microinjection, and screening for green fluorescence in the heart. This protocol is simple to execute, time efficient, and multifunctional, enabling the disruption of genes in zebrafish germ cells to be conducted with ease.

We sought to characterize cellular composition across the cardiovascular system of the healthy Wistar rat, an important model in preclinical cardiovascular research. We performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) in 78 samples in 10 distinct regions, including the four chambers of the heart, ventricular septum, sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, aorta, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins, which produced 505,835 nuclei. We identified 26 distinct cell types and additional subtypes, with different cellular composition across cardiac regions and tissue-specific transcription for each cell type.

Objective: Understanding the association between cannabis use and binge eating is of interest amidst growing global cannabis legalization. While preliminary research suggests a link between cannabis use and binge eating, population-based data among young adults, both female and male, are lacking. Given that depressive symptoms can act as an important precipitant of both cannabis use and binge eating, exploring the role of depressive symptoms is essential.

Background: Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) have been shown to significantly improve the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The incidence and characterization of bradyarrhythmias in this subset of patients is still unknown.
Methods: All consecutive patients who received ILRs, after an ESUS, between March 2015 and December 2022 in our Center were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed.
Association between infant feeding and ADHD development in childhood: a birth cohort study in Taiwan.

Graduate Institute of Clinical Medical Science, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan.
Background: Infant feeding plays a vital role in neurodevelopment, and a lack of breastfeeding and complementary feeding may increase the risk of developing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, empirical evidence on this relationship remains uncertain, as most studies are based on cross-sectional designs. Therefore, this study aimed to examine this temporal relationship using longitudinal data from a birth cohort.
