AIMS Although patients with syncope and bundle branch block (BBB) are at high risk of developing atrio-ventricular block, syncope may be due to other aetiologies. We performed a prospective, observational study of the clinical outcomes of patients with syncope and BBB following a systematic diagnostic approach. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with ≥1 syncope in the last 6 months, with QRS durati...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction In one third the patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DMT1) cause death is cardiac origin. The most common manifestations are arrhythmias and conduction disturbances. Purpose Due to its extreme long monitoring properties, implantable loop recorders (ILRs) highly suitable detect rare arrhythmias. To date, there onl...

A novel dynamic headspace extraction device, the capillary microextraction of volatiles (CMV) was coupled to a person-portable GC–MS for analysis ignitable liquid residues (ILR) sampled from simulated fire debris. benchtop used as benchmark performance portable GC–MS. The use paper cup in conjunction with CMV in-field sampling VOCs associated ILRs is presented first time. five-minute sampling/e...

COVID-19 pneumonia started in December 2019 and caused large casualties huge economic losses. In this study, we intended to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system based on artificial intelligence automatically identify the chest computed tomography images. We utilized transfer learning obtain image-level representation (ILR) backbone deep convolutional neural network. Then, novel neighboring...

In this study we wanted to verify the diagnostic value of tilt table test (TTT) to predict the efficacy of cardiac pacing (PM) for preventing recurrences of neurally mediated reflex syncope (NMS) in patients with cardioinhibitory activity (CI) documented by implantable loop recorder (ILR). Among patients selected by ILR in the context of severe clinical presentation of NMS, we analysed those wh...

We present an investigation of the structure of the emission line region in a sample of 12 single-peaked Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Using the high resolution Hβ and Hα line profiles observed with the Isaac Newton Telescope (La Palma) we study the substructure in the lines (such as shoulders or bumps) which can indicate a disk or disk-like emission in Broad Line Regions (BLRs). Applying Gaus...

Rotation curves and velocity dispersion profiles are presented for both the stellar and gaseous components along five different position angles (P.A.=5, 50, 95, 125, and 155) of the nearby barred spiral NGC 6221. The observed kinematics extends out to about 80 from the nucleus. Narrow and broad-band imaging is also presented. The radial profiles of the fluxes ratio [N II] (λ 6583.4 Å)/Hα reveal...
