In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007, the first joint expert consensus document was issued, guiding healthcare professionals involved in catheter or surgical AF ablation. Mounting research evidence and technological advances have resulted in a rapidly changing landscape in the field of catheter and surgical AF ablation, thus stressing the need for regularly updated versions of this partnership which were issued in 2012 and 2017...

Does a sense of having less or more than what one needs affect one's generosity? The question of how resource access influences prosocial behavior has received much attention in studies with adults but has produced conflicting findings. To better understand this relationship, we tested whether resource access affects generosity in the developing mind. In our preregistered investigation, we used a narrative recall method to explore how temporary, experimentally evoked states of resource abundance or scarcity affect children's sharing...

Linezolid is a drug with proven human antitubercular activity whose use is limited to highly drug-resistant patients because of its toxicity. This toxicity is related to its mechanism of action─linezolid inhibits protein synthesis in both bacteria and eukaryotic mitochondria. A highly selective and potent series of oxazolidinones, bearing a 5-aminomethyl moiety (in place of the typical 5-acetamidomethyl moiety of linezolid), was identified. Linezolid-resistant mutants were cross-resistant to these molecules but not vice versa...

Purpose: Reproductive health (RH) is a critical issue among cancer survivors worldwide. However, in developing countries where RH services for patients with cancer are often lacking, reproductive concerns among adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors remain uncertain. In this study, we assessed the reproductive concerns of AYA cancer survivors in a resource-limited context of Uganda. Methods: We collected data from AYA cancer survivors at two facilities in Uganda using an interviewer-administered questionnaire...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients require central venous catheters to maintain adequate hydration, nutritional status, and delivery of life-saving medications in the pediatric intensive care unit. Although central venous catheters provide critical medical therapies, their use increases the risk of severe infection, morbidity, and mortality. Adopting an evidence-based central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) bundle to guide nursing practice can decrease and sustain low CLABSI rates, but reliable and consistent implementation is challenging...

Monogenic cerebral vasculopathy is a rare but progressively recognizable cause of pediatric cerebral vasculopathy manifesting as early as fetal life. These monogenic cerebral vasculopathies can be silent or manifest variably as fetal or neonatal distress, neurologic deficit, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, seizures, or stroke. The radiologic findings can be nonspecific, but the presence of disease-specific cerebral and extracerebral imaging features can point to a diagnosis and guide genetic testing, allowing targeted treatment...

INTRODUCTION: Online child sexual abuse (OCSA) affects considerable numbers of children globally and is associated with a variety of mental health problems. Existing practitioner studies suggest that young people are infrequently asked about online abuse and practitioners have a fragmented understanding of the problems experienced or how they might approach them. There are very few evidence-based interventions that guide clinical assessment or practice. Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) have the potential to be an effective option where children and young people's services are challenged, including accessibility and anonymity...

INTRODUCTION: Annual cognitive screening in older adults is essential for early detection of cognitive impairment, yet primary care settings face time constraints that present barriers to routine screening. A remote cognitive screener completed on a patient's personal smartphone before a visit has the potential to save primary care clinics time, encourage broader screening practices and increase early detection of cognitive decline. MyCog Mobile is a promising new remote smartphone-based cognitive screening app for primary care settings...

Human infections caused by viral pathogens trigger a complex gamut of host responses that limit disease, resolve infection, generate immunity, and contribute to severe disease or death. Here, we present experimental methods and multi-omics data capture approaches representing the global host response to infection generated from 45 individual experiments involving human viruses from the Orthomyxoviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, and Coronaviridae families. Analogous experimental designs were implemented across human or mouse host model systems, longitudinal samples were collected over defined time courses, and global multi-omics data (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics) were acquired by microarray, RNA sequencing, or mass spectrometry analyses...

In juvenile idiopathic arthritis we have seen remarkable progress in the number of available licensed biological and small molecule treatments in the past two decades, leading to improved outcomes for patients. Designing clinical trials for these therapeutics is fraught with ethical, legislative, and practical challenges. However, many aspects of current clinical trial design in juvenile idiopathic arthritis do not meet the needs of patients and clinicians. Commonly used withdrawal trial designs raise substantial ethical concerns for patients and families who believe that they do not enable evidence-based and patient-centred decisions around medication choices...

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that Technology Assisted Sexual Abuse (TASA) represents a serious problem for large numbers of children. To date, there are very few evidence-based interventions available to young people (YP) after they have been exposed to this form of abuse, and access to support services remains a challenge. Digital tools such as smartphones have the potential to increase access to mental health support and may provide an opportunity for YP to both manage their distress and reduce the possibility of further victimization...

Sexual minority individuals have a markedly elevated risk of depression compared to heterosexuals. We examined early threats to social safety and chronically elevated inflammation as mechanisms contributing to this disparity in depression symptoms, and compared the relative strength of the co-occurrence between chronic inflammation and depression symptoms for sexual minorities versus heterosexuals. To do so, we analyzed data from a prospective cohort of sexual minority and heterosexual young adults (n = 595), recruited from a nationally representative sample, that included assessments of early threats to social safety in the form of adverse childhood interpersonal events, three biomarkers of inflammation (i...

BACKGROUND: Among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW), the dynamics of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections at different anatomical sites are not well understood. Information on HPV concordance between anatomic sites can inform the extent of autoinoculation, and susceptibility of different anatomic areas to HPV infection. We described and assessed correlates of HPV concordance across anal, oral, and genital samples. METHODS: We enrolled 1876 MSM and TGW aged 18 to 26 years in 3 US cities...
