This study demonstrates an autonomic basis for CFAE formation, suggesting that graded hyperactive states of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) may induce various types of CFAE observed clinically.
GP stimulation, subthreshold for atrial excitation, converts isolated PDs into AF-inducing PDs, suggesting that autonomic tone may play a critical role in the initiation of paroxysmal AF.
Comparing well with laparoscopic gastrectomy, robot-assisted gastrectomy is a feasible and safe surgical procedure with clear operation field, precise dissection, minimal trauma, and fast recovery. Longer follow-up time and randomized, clinical trials are needed to evaluate the clinical benefits and long-term oncological outcomes of this new technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
