Selecting repetitive focal and rotational activation patterns with the highest probability of being a source of atrial fibrillation.

Introduction: Repetitive focal and rotational activation patterns are currently used as additional ablation targets for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there is no evidence that all these detected targets are actual sources of AF. In this paper, we present an approach that detects and ranks AF activation patterns not only based on the degree of pattern repetitiveness but also on the extent to which they are able to entrain their vicinity.

A novel sequential endocardial mapping strategy for locating atrial fibrillation sources based on repetitive conduction patterns: An in-silico study.

Background: In persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), localized extra-pulmonary vein sources may contribute to arrhythmia recurrences after pulmonary vein isolation. This in-silico study proposes a high-density sequential mapping strategy to localize such sources.

Method: Catheter repositioning was guided by repetitive conduction patterns, moving against the prevailing conduction direction (upstream) toward the sources.

Resolution of hypogammaglobulinemia-associated recurrent bacteraemia after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

The clinical application of in vivo dosimetry for gynaecological brachytherapy: A scoping review.

Brachytherapy is a key treatment for gynaecological malignancies, delivering high doses to the tumour volume whilst sparing nearby normal tissues due to its steep dose gradient. Accuracy is imperative as small shifts can lead to clinically significant under- or over-dosing of the target volume or organs at risk (OARs), respectively. Independent verification of dose delivered during brachytherapy is not routinely performed but it is important to identify gross errors and define action thresholds to guide inter-fraction treatment decisions.

Weakly supervised pathological differentiation of primary central nervous system lymphoma and glioblastoma on multi-site whole slide images.

Purpose: Differentiating primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and glioblastoma (GBM) is crucial because their prognosis and treatment differ substantially. Manual examination of their histological characteristics is considered the golden standard in clinical diagnosis. However, this process is tedious and time-consuming and might lead to misdiagnosis caused by morphological similarity between their histology and tumor heterogeneity.

Maternal and neonatal complications of pregnant women with bipolar disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Confidence in pregnancy outcome data for women with bipolar disorder is compromised by small cohort sizes. However, comprehensive national data have been published over the last decade, but no quantitative synthesis has been established to determine the factors associated with complications in these women. Our goal is to summarise the evidence of population-based data on obstetric complications and neonatal outcomes in women with bipolar disorder compared to women without bipolar disorder.

Identifying biomarker-driven subphenotypes of cardiogenic shock: analysis of prospective cohorts and randomized controlled trials.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome, making it challenging to predict patient trajectory and response to treatment. This study aims to identify biological/molecular CS subphenotypes, evaluate their association with outcome, and explore their impact on heterogeneity of treatment effect (ShockCO-OP, NCT06376318).

Methods: We used unsupervised clustering to integrate plasma biomarker data from two prospective cohorts of CS patients: CardShock (N = 205 [2010-2012, NCT01374867]) and the French and European Outcome reGistry in Intensive Care Units (FROG-ICU) (N = 228 [2011-2013, NCT01367093]) to determine the optimal number of classes.
