Background: Standard therapy of atypical atrial flutter (AFL) aims at deploying ablation lines between two non-conducting anatomical structures, thereby creating a line of block within the re-entry circuit.We have developed an ablation strategy, where we incorporate voltage information as a surrogate for atrial fibrosis from the electro-anatomical
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Wall Shelf Set (3/CN) are suggested to have an altered intestinal microenvironment.We therefore aimed to determine the intestinal microenvironment profile, based on faecal microbiota and metabolites, and the potential link to symptoms in IBS patients.The faecal microbiota was evaluated by the GA-mapTM dy
BackgroundApproximately 2% of patients in primary care practice and up to 25% of hospital patients are registered as being allergic to an antibiotic.However, up to 90% of these registrations are incorrect, leading to unnecessary prescription of 2nd choice antibiotics with the attendant loss of efficacy, increased toxicity and antibiotic resistance.
Background At present, the discovery of new biomarkers is of great significance for the early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis assessment of ovarian cancer.Previous findings indicated that aberrant G-protein-coupled receptor 176 (GPR176) expression might contribute to tumorigenesis and subsequent progression.However, the expression of GPR176 and
Anthrax is a notorious disease of public health importance caused by Bacillus anthracis.The causative agent can also be used as a biological weapon.Spores of these bacteria can sustain extreme environmental conditions and remain viable in soil for decades.Domestic and wild ruminants are highly susceptible to this pathogen, which usually presents as
