Article Abstract

Background: Diagnosing myocarditis in children presenting with complete AV block (CAVB) is challenging. Temporary permanent pacing support using standard transvenous active fixation lead can be inserted percutaneously until recovery. However, access to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging may be limited due to safety concerns.

Cases: We report three cases where CMR was performed using temporary permanent pacemaker in situ. We evaluated the effect of device artefacts on image quality and examined any instances of device malfunction.

Conclusion: In children with CAVB and myocarditis, a temporary permanent pacemaker can provide reliable pacing until recovery, and CMR can be safely performed with the implanted pacemaker without compromising image quality.

Background: The Wenckebach phenomenon of atrioventricular conduction is deemed a physiological response of the atrioventricular node to a high atrial rate. However, the reverse Wenckebach phenomenon is under-recognized.

Case Summary: We report an instance of reverse Wenckebach phenomenon developing into complete heart block in a 33-year-old man who experienced syncope after surgical repair of prolapsed bicuspid aortic valves.

Resorbable implants are increasingly used in orbital wall fracture reconstruction because of their ability to provide temporary structural support without the long-term complications associated with permanent materials. However, the long-term effects of implant resorption on orbital morphology are unclear. This retrospective study evaluated volumetric changes over time following reconstruction using 2 types of resorbable plates: uncalcined hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactic acid (u-HA/PLLA) and poly-L-lactic acid/polyglycolic acid (PLLA/PGA).

Introduction: Work-life balance (WLB) is critical to nurse retention and job satisfaction in healthcare. Traditional shift scheduling, characterised by inflexible hours and limited employee control, often leads to stress and perceptions of unfairness, contributing to high turnover rates. AI-based scheduling systems are promoted as a promising solution by enabling fairer and more transparent shift distribution.
