Background: The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effectiveness of intravenous magnesium (IV Mg) in rate and rhythm control of rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) when administered in addition to standard-of-care for non-post-operative patients. Previous meta-analyses on this topic have demonstrated the efficacy of IV Mg in achieving rate control, but not rhythm control.

Methods: Six randomized controlled trials comparing IV Mg to placebo in the treatment of rapid AF were obtained from electronic databases totaling 745 patients.

Background: Tumor proliferation often occurs from pathologic receptor upregulation. These receptors provide unique targets for near-infrared (NIR) probes that have fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) applications. We demonstrate the use of three smart-targeted probes in a model of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Article Synopsis
  • The notochord is an important embryonic structure in vertebrate development, with its remnants found in the nucleus pulposus of adult intervertebral discs.
  • Pathological remnants can lead to chordomas, which are slow-growing tumors derived from the notochord.
  • Clinicians involved in imaging or treating notochord-related conditions need to understand its anatomy, embryology, and associated pathologies.
