Article Synopsis
- The study explores the management and diagnosis of Wolf-Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) and asymptomatic pre-excitation in Africa, highlighting a lack of data in the region.
- Conducted in 20 centers across 17 African countries, the research involved 541 participants and focused on symptomatology, treatment approaches, and the impact of local health dynamics on care.
- Results indicated that a vast majority were diagnosed with WPW, with significant regional differences in treatment options and effectiveness, showing that Northern and Southern Africa have more advanced practices compared to other areas.

Article Synopsis
- The review analyzed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effectiveness of topical sesame oil (SO) in preventing and managing infusion-related phlebitis (IRP), revealing inconsistent results in prior studies.
- Eight studies, covering various patients with chemotherapy and amiodarone-induced phlebitis, showed that combining standard care with SO significantly reduced IRP symptoms compared to control treatments.
- While the findings suggest that SO may positively impact IRP management, the quality of the evidence was moderate and highlighted the need for better study design and safety verification of sesame oil.

Objectives The study evaluated the efficacy of antiarrhythmic pharmacotherapies in managing tachyarrhythmia episodes in pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases post-tricuspid valve repair, assessing reductions in haemodynamic parameters and symptomatic variables, and observing side effects. Methods From January 2020 to January 2024, this study reviewed data from 300 patients, aged up to 18 years, who experienced arrhythmia following cardiac surgery and received treatment with amiodarone, propranolol, or both. The information included demographic and anthropometric measures, haemodynamic parameters, and antiarrhythmic drugs used to treat arrhythmias before and after tricuspid valve repair.

Right bundle branch block can occasionally occur when a guide wire or catheter is inserted into the heart. An 83-year-old woman with preexisting left bundle branch block (LBBB) was diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and severe mitral regurgitation (MR). The patient was started on amiodarone (100 mg/day) and bisoprolol (1.
