Catheter-ablation (CA) of consecutive left atrial tachycardias (LAT) can be challenging. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) yields a novel non-thermal CA technology for treatment fibrillation (AF). There is no data regarding PFA LAT. This study sought to investigate the outcome in LAT following prior AF. Consecutive patients with underwent ultra-high-density (UHDx) mapping. Subsequent identification A...

The use of depleted uranium in armor-penetrating munitions remains a source of controversy because of the numerous unanswered questions about its long-term health effects. Although there are no conclusive epidemiological data correlating depleted uranium exposure to specific health effects, studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents continue to suggest the possibility of genetic, repro...

External or internal contamination from radioactive elements during military operations or a terrorist attack is a serious threat to military and civilian populations. External radiation exposure could result from conventional military scenarios including nuclear weapons use and low-dose exposures during radiation accidents or terrorist attacks. Alternatively, internal radiation exposure could ...

There is a need to develop medical countermeasures to protect first-responders and remediation workers from the biomedical effects of ionizing radiation. Agents that can protect against ionizing radiation and that can be administered before radiation would permit rescue workers to perform needed operations. The ideal radioprotector would be nontoxic and would not degrade performance. Soy phytoe...
