Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a catheter-based procedure that utilizes short high voltage and short-duration electrical field pulses to induce tissue injury. The last decade has yielded significant scientific progress and quickened interest in PFA as an energy modality leading to the emergence of the clinical use of PFA technologies for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. It is generally agreed that more research is needed to improve our biophysical understanding of PFA for clinical cardiac applications as well as its potential as a potential alternative energy source to thermal ablation modalities for the treatment of other arrhythmias.

Objectives: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an intervention for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction who exhibit specific electrocardiographic indicators of electrical dyssynchrony. However, electrical dyssynchrony does not universally correspond to left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD). Gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion allows for the assessment of LVMD, yet its role in the CRT selection process remains debated.

Reconstructing the volcanic history of the Kikai caldera, a large active volcano that produced a ~ 160 km eruption at 7.3 ka off the southern coast of Kyushu Island (southwest Japan), is crucial to assess potential future volcanic hazards at both regional and global scales. However, revealing its volcanic history before the 7.

Limiting animal experiments is essential for ethical issues and also because scientific evidence highlights the discrepancies between human and animal metabolism. This review aims to provide a critical discussion of the strengths and limitations of the most appropriate intestine model to answer complex research questions in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. This review describes the components contributing to the definition of the gut barrier structure, from the outer mucus layer to the inner part of lamina propria, including endothelial and neuronal networks.
