Background: A novel size-adjustable cryoballoon can deliver cryotherapy with a 28- or 31-mm balloon size. However, data on antral lesion size with the 31-mm balloon size are scarce.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antral lesion size of cryoablation with the 31-mm balloon size.

Background: POLARx FIT is a size-adjustable cryoballoon, but its effect on isolation area and phrenic nerve injury (PNI) is not fully understood. This study aimed to compare the effects of 28 and 31 mm cryoballoon on the left atrium (LA), superior vena cava (SVC), and PNI incidence.

Methods And Results: Thirty-one cases of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treated with POLARx FIT were analyzed.

Bacterial cell division is orchestrated by proteins that assemble in dynamic complexes collectively known as the divisome. Essential monofunctional enzymes with glycosyltransferase or transpeptidase (TPase) activities, FtsW and FtsI respectively, engage in the synthesis of septal peptidoglycan (sPG). Enigmatically, Salmonella has two TPases that can promote cell division independently: FtsI (PBP3) and the pathogen-specific paralogue PBP3.

July 2024

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, Fujian, China.

Objective: To observe the effect of the lung-protective ventilation strategy, static lung expansion, during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on pulmonary function and tracheal intubation time following cardiac surgery in children.

Methods: A total of 48 child patients (aged 1-3) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) were enrolled, and all underwent CPB cardiac surgery for the first time. The patients were divided into two groups using the random number table method: the experimental group (Group A,  = 30) and the control group (Group B,  = 18).
