Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes With Ventricular Arrhythmias in Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Recipients: A Multicenter Analysis.

Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are common in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), but their prognostic impact remains uncertain. Prior studies have yielded conflicting results regarding their association with mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the incidence and clinical outcomes associated with VAs in a large, multicenter LVAD cohort.

Periprocedural Risk Factors for Early Incident Acute Heart Failure After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: Findings From the CLAPHAF Study.

Introduction: Catheter ablation is an increasingly utilized procedure to manage symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, early incident acute heart failure (HF) can lead to increased resource utilization postablation.

Methods: In the Multicenter prospective Cohort study examining Left Atrial Pressure and the risk of early incident Heart failure after catheter ablation of Atrial Fibrillation (CLAPHAF) study, we examined risk factors for HF after AF ablation.

Biofilms and oral health: nanotechnology for biofilm control.

Dental biofilms are complex microbial communities enclosed by a self-produced extracellular matrix, leading to dental caries, periodontitis, and other oral diseases. These biofilms are often resistant to conventional antibiotics and result in persistent infections that negatively impact oral health. Recent advances in nanotechnology have demonstrated nanoparticles as a promising therapeutic alternative for controlling dental biofilms.

Influence of Mg incorporation into the La-site of combustion synthesized LaMnOperovskite nanoparticles on the magnetic properties.

This study focuses on the analysis of variation in the magnetic properties as a function ofin LaMgMnO(= 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.

Understanding engagement with digital health interventions designed for adults with hearing loss and tinnitus: a mixed-method systematic review.

Background: Hearing loss and tinnitus are pervasive disabilities globally, which significantly impact individuals' quality of life. Integrating Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) with traditional audiological management has proven beneficial for hearing loss and tinnitus management. Although it is established that DHI engagement is important for the real-world effectiveness of DHIs, there is a lack of systematic evidence aiming to understand engagement with DHIs in audiology.
