BACKGROUND: High-power short-duration ablation has shown impressive efficacy and safety for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI); however, initial efficacy results with very high power short-duration ablation were discouraging. This study compared the long-term durability of PVI performed with a 90- versus 50-W power setting. METHODS: Patients were randomized 1:1 to undergo PVI with the QDOT catheter using a power setting of 90 or 50 W. Three months after the index procedure, patients underwent a repeat electrophysiology study to identify pulmonary vein reconnections...

OBJECTIVES: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly utilized for the noninvasive assessment of renal cystic lesions, using the Bosniak grading system. Bosniak 3-4 lesions require surgical referral, which allows correlation with the histopathological outcome. METHODS: In this single-center, retrospective study we evaluated renal CEUS exams conducted with SonoVue® with a diagnosis of a Bosniak 3 or 4 lesion between 2019 and 2022. A total of 49 patients and 50 lesions met the inclusion criteria, 31 lesions had available histopathological results...

OBJECTIVE: Alcohol-related seizures (ARS) are one of the most important consequences of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). However, demographic and clinical characteristics, and furthermore, the relationship of ARS with delirium tremens (DT), have not yet been evaluated in detail. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to reveal the correlates of ARS and examine the interaction of ARS with the occurrence of DT and with the severity of AWS. METHODS: In the retrospective study (Study 1) 2851 medical charts of inpatient admissions characterized by AWS and DT were listed...

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients. Pharmacological selectivity of these agents to SGLT2 over SGLT1 is highly variant, with unknown clinical relevance. Genetically reduced SGLT1-but not SGLT2-activity correlates with lower risk of heart failure and mortality, therefore additional non-selective SGLT1 inhibition might be beneficial. In this prespecified meta-analysis, we included 6 randomized, placebo-controlled cardiovascular outcome trials of SGLT2 inhibitors assessing MACE in 57,553 patients with T2DM...

DNA polymerases constitute a versatile group of enzymes that not only perform the essential task of genome duplication but also participate in various genome maintenance pathways, such as base and nucleotide excision repair, non-homologous end-joining, homologous recombination, and translesion synthesis. Polymerases catalyze DNA synthesis via the stepwise addition of deoxynucleoside monophosphates to the 3' primer end in a partially double-stranded DNA. They require divalent metal cations coordinated by active site residues of the polymerase...

BACKGROUND: Different fixation methods in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) have been associated with different revision rates, specifically in the early postoperative period. However, most previous research has either grouped together different fixation types or evaluated femoral-sided fixation or tibial-sided fixation separately. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine ACL revision rates for specific combinations of femoral and tibial fixation methods within 2 years of primary hamstring tendon autograft ACLR based on data from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry (SNKLR)...

BACKGROUND: Information transmission into the human nervous system is the basis for a variety of prosthetic applications. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems are widely available, have a well documented safety record, can be implanted minimally invasively, and are known to stimulate afferent pathways. Nonetheless, SCS devices are not yet used for computer-brain- interfacing applications. OBJECTIVE: Here we aimed to establish computer-to-brain communication via medical SCS implants in a group of 20 individuals who had been operated for the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain...

The negative cardiovascular effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) have been discussed previously; however, the sex differences between PCOS females and males are not yet known. Our aim was to investigate the effect of PCOS and VDD in the carotid artery of male and female Wistar rats. Females were treated with transdermal testosterone (Androgel) for 8 weeks, which caused PCOS. VDD and vitamin D supplementation were accomplished via diet. The carotid arteries' contraction and relaxation were examined using myography...

Soil invertebrates are among the least understood metazoans on Earth. Thus far, the lack of taxonomically broad and dense genomic resources has made it hard to thoroughly investigate their evolution and ecology. With MetaInvert we provide draft genome assemblies for 232 soil invertebrate species, representing 14 common groups and 94 families. We show that this data substantially extends the taxonomic scope of DNA- or RNA-based taxonomic identification. Moreover, we confirm that theories of genome evolution cannot be generalised across evolutionarily distinct invertebrate groups...

When Covid-19 was declared a pandemic, most people felt helpless, fearful, and demoralized while health care workers put their own lives at risk to support and heal others. The uncertainties expressed by experts and the ambiguous and protracted nature of the pandemic compounded the sense of frustration caused by the scarcity of protective equipment and effective medications. This combination of factors led to exhaustion, burnout, and moral injury. As a result, mental health practitioners worldwide realized that health care staff needed to stay motivated and resilient...

OBJECTIVES: Orofacial clefts are among the most common birth defects, with an estimated worldwide incidence of around 1.5-1.7 per 1000 live-born babies. The most frequent form of orofacial clefts is cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± CP). The role of environmental factors in the development of clefts is unclear in most patients, thus the aim of this study was to estimate possible maternal risk factors in the origin of CL ± CP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 1648 CL ± CP cases, 2654 matched controls and 57 231 population controls were evaluated from The Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance of Congenital Abnormalities...
