Blood pressure-independent increase in the cortical cerebral blood flow induced by manual acupuncture of the auricular region in rats
We aimed to determine whether acupuncture to the auricular region increases cortical regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). The rCBF was measured using laser speckle contrast imaging in urethane-anesthetized rat...

Persistence of an iatrogenic atrial septal defect after a second-generation cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation
Persistent iatrogenic atrial septal defects (iASDs) can be observed after intervention requiring a left atria (LA) access, including pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) of atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated ...

Optimal slow pathway ablation site for slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with 2:1 atrioventricular conduction
The exact circuit responsible for the atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is still unknown. We evaluated the optimal slow pathway ablation area in patients with and without 2:1 AV conduct...

Shift in the earliest retrograde atrial activation site during the fast–slow form of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia after the radiofrequency modification of the atrioventricular node: is the atrium a necessary link?
Whether or not the perinodal atrium forms an upper link in the tachycardia circuit of the atypical form of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is controversial. We report a case with the fast–slow form of A...

Lasing action of active-particles dispersed in microdroplets and its enhanced characteristics by highly scattering intralipid-10% mixture
The first laser action of active-particles of 1–2 μm in diameter, red fluorescent-powder (FP), dispersed in nonactive (nonlasing) ∼100 μm-sized liquid microdroplets is reported. Lasing characteristics of FP-co...
