Background This study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting the 1-year volume reduction ratio (VRR) of the ablated area after thermal ablation of benign thyroid nodules (BTN) based on preoperative clinical, ultrasou...

The optimal management of tributary varicose veins during Endovenous Thermal Ablation (EVTA) of the saphenous trunk for Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) remains an area of ongoing clinical debate. This study compares the “...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an alternative for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in treating multiple pulmonary nodules. MethodsA retr...

BackgroundKinesiophobia is a significant psychological factor that affects early ambulation in postoperative patients. It is particularly common after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Nonetheless, few stu...

A ablação endometrial por via histeroscópica é uma técnica utilizada em casos de sangramento uterino anormal com resposta desfavorável ao tratamento clínico. Mesmo com destruição ou ressecção das camadas funci...

Abstract Left atrial appendage (LAA) aneurysm is a rare structural abnormality that can predispose to significant complications, including systemic embolism and complex supraventricular arrhythmias. Here, we report a 44-...

Abstract Background Acute rhythm restoration after cryoballoon ablation may reflect underlying atrial substrate; however, its independent prognostic value for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence remains uncertain. Object...

Abstract Background Some studies regarding patients complaining of residual pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) showed pain scores improvement using genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA). This prompted the...

BackgroundComplete disappearance after thermal ablation for benign thyroid nodules is a time-dependent process with substantial inter-individual variability. Whether baseline systemic inflammatory–immune status contrib...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with a rising global incidence. Advances in ablation techniques have led to same‐day discharge (SDD) protocols, reducing hospital res...

Laser ablation in liquid is a scalable nanoparticle production method with applications in areas like catalysis and biomedicine. Due to laser-liquid interactions, different energy dissipation channels such as absorption ...

We report a novel nanosecond laser ablation synthesis for spherical gold nanoparticles as small as 4 nm in only 5 s (532 nm, 0.66 J/cm 2), where the desired protecting agent can be selected in a protocol that avoids repe...

This case describes the application of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in the management of a solitary breast metastatic lesion in a 59-year-old female with a history of lung adenocarcinoma. Over a 36-month fo...

Perovskite solar cells (PSC) offer a promising solution for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) due to its high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE). However, increasing the transparency of their functional la...

Abstract Background Myocardial sleeves of the caudal vena cava are the predilection site for atrial tachycardia (AT) in horses. Caudal vena cava isolation guided by the ablation index, a lesion quality marker incorporati...

In the context of this work, a prototype hybrid photoacoustic (PA) and optical system for the on-line monitoring of laser cleaning procedures is presented. The developed apparatus has enabled the detection of MHz frequen...

Abstract Background Cytoscopic‐guided laser ablation (CLA) is a technique that can be used to correct intramural ectopic ureters (EUs) in dogs. Hypothesis/Objectives To describe clinicopathologic, imaging, and cystosco...

Copper metal nanoparticles (Nps) have received increasing interest during the last years due to their potential applications in several fields of science and technology. Their optical properties depend on the characteris...

ObjectiveThe impact of Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence and cardiac function in patients with AF and heart failure (HF) undergoing catheter ablation ...

Abstract A 15‐year‐old Miniature Horse mare with persistently increased plasma calcium (total and ionized) and serum parathyroid hormone concentrations was presented for suspected primary hyperparathyroidism. Ultraso...

Background Development of hypocalcemia after treatment of hyperparathyroidism results in increased costs and risk of poorer outcomes. Previous studies have shown conflicting data about predictors of hypocalcemia after th...

BackgroundLeft ventricular (LV) geometric remodeling is a key pathophysiological feature in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), yet its prognostic implications among patients with concomitant atrial f...

One of the main figures of merit in laser-ablative propulsion is the specific impulse, Isp, defined as the impulse per unit weight of fuel, and it is related to the exhaust velocity, ve, by the acceleration of gravity, I...
