Pulsed field ablation uses irreversible electroporation to interrupt cellular membranes and induce myocyte apoptosis. Reversible electroporation has been used in other specialties, but its utility in cardiac ablation is unknown. Here, a 69-year-old woman undergoing repeat ablation for atypical atrial flutter presented with extensive scar after cardiac surgery (including MAZE) and previous ablation, leading to a macro re-entry circuit. To minimize superfluous lesions and further arrhythmia, we used a single pulse confirming the isthmus location, with cessation of the arrhythmia. As a conclusion, reversible electroporation may be used to test areas of interest prior to irreversible lesion creation.

This paper reports on the effect of the micro-morphological characteristics of stainless steel electrodes on vacuum breakdown properties under the action of a strong electric field generated by high-power electric pulses. Using chemical passivation modification and atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, alumina composite films were prepared on the surface of the stainless steel electrodes to reshape the surface microstructure of the electrodes. The surface morphology features of the electrodes were characterized in detail.

The vascular system is primarily responsible for orchestrating the underlying healing processes to achieve tissue regeneration, thus the promotion of angiogenic events could be a useful strategy to repair injured tissues. Among several approaches to stimulate tissue regeneration, non-invasive devices are currently widely diffused. Complex Magnetic Fields (CMFs) are innovative pulsed multifrequency electromagnetic fields used for their promising results in clinical applications, such as diabetic foot treatment or edema resorption.

Preclinical studies have shown that the blood from female mice exposed weekly to magnetic fields inhibited breast cancer growth. This double-blind randomized controlled trial investigated whether analogous magnetic therapy could produce similar anticancer sera from human subjects. Twenty-six healthy adult females (ages 30-45) were assigned to either a magnetic therapy group, receiving twice weekly 1 mT magnetic exposures (10 min/session) for 4 weeks, or a control group, who underwent identical sham exposure.

Novel low-dispersion ablation cell designs and highly efficient aerosol transport systems have enabled fast elemental mapping using laser ablation-ICP-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) at high spatial resolution and its application in various research fields. Nowadays, the fastest low-dispersion setups enable narrow single pulse responses (SPR, duration of the transient signal observed upon a single laser shot), which enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and boost the pixel acquisition rate attainable in elemental mapping applications. In this work, the analytical performance of a nanosecond 193 nm ArF* excimer-based kHz laser in combination with a low-dispersion tube-type ablation cell, coupled to an ICP-mass spectrometer equipped with a time-of-flight (ToF) analyzer, was evaluated.
