The implementation of portable record based on laser card technology is discussed in terms of data structures for quick access and software tools to reinforce security and confidentiality as required by medical data. Experimental results from a field test with a laser card technology are reviewed with regard to implementation in a large-scale and public information system. An efficient data structure is described for storage purposes, and some proposals are put forward to secure stored data.

An 85-year-old woman presented with bacteremia complicated by infective endocarditis with vegetations on the prosthetic mitral valve and right ventricular (RV) lead. The patient had a single-chamber permanent pacemaker with two RV leads, one of which was previously trapped or "jailed" after a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement. Complete transvenous lead extraction including the chronically retained jailed RV lead was achieved via laser extraction assisted by concomitant traction from a superior left subclavian and inferior right femoral venous approach.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIodoform (CHI) has garnered significant attention for its unique ability to induce photo-cyclopropanation of olefins by releasing an iodine radical through C-I bond cleavage. However, the detailed mechanism underlying CHI photodissociation is still not fully understood. Here, we elucidate the ultrafast structural dynamics of CHI upon photoexcitation using femtosecond time-resolved X-ray liquidography (fs-TRXL) at an X-ray free-electron laser facility.

With increasing volume of cardiac implantable electronic devices in the last decade, the indications for device extraction have increased. Multidisciplinary collaboration between cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists, and cardiac electrophysiologists has been recognized as an essential pre-requisite in pre-procedural planning to limit complications from this inherently risky procedure. Fortunately, the tools and techniques have continued to evolve to make extraction safer and more effective.
