Game-Based Learning as a Vehicle to Teach First Aid Content: A Randomized Experiment
submitted by diltovit 16 minutes ago - Topic: Health
BACKGROUND Knowledge of first aid (FA), which constitutes lifesaving treatments for injuries or illnesses, is important for every individual. In this study, we have set up a group-randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a board game for learning FA. METHODS Four class groups (1...



Nurses and Teachers: Partnerships for Green Health Promotion
submitted by diltovit 16 minutes ago - Topic: Health
BACKGROUND The term green health promotion is given to health promotion underpinned by the principles of ecological health and sustainability. Green health promotion is supported philosophically by global health promotion documents such as the 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and the ecol...

Understanding Students' Perceptions of a High School Course Designed to Enhance School Connectedness
submitted by diltovit 16 minutes ago - Topic: Health
BACKGROUND This study was a part of an evaluation of a 4-year high school course to enhance students' school connectedness from freshman to senior year with primarily an Asian and Pacific Islander student body in Hawai‘i. The purpose of this study was to understand how the course may impact stu...

Changes in Weight Over the School Year and Summer Vacation: Results of a 5-Year Longitudinal Study
submitted by diltovit 16 minutes ago - Topic: Health
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that children gain more weight during the summer months compared with the school year. To examine the impact of the school and summer environment on children's weight further, we conducted a 5-year longitudinal study examining changes in standardized BMI (zBMI) of stu...

Efficacy of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Young Patients With Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia: Success Depends on Substrate
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
The effectiveness of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy for the management of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in young patients is not known. ICD discharges are not always effective and inappropriate discharges are common, both resulting in morbidity a...



Sudden Cardiac Death With Autopsy Findings of Uncertain Significance: Potential for Erroneous Interpretation
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
The sudden death of young individuals is commonly attributed to inherited cardiac disorders, and familial evaluation is advocated. The identification of pathognomonic histopathologic findings, or the absence of cardiac pathology (sudden arrhythmic death syndrome [SADS]) at postmortem, directs fam...

Electrophysiological Features Differentiating the Atypical Atrioventricular Node-Dependent Long RP Supraventricular Tachycardias
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Diagnosing atypical atrioventricular node-dependent long RP supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) can be challenging. and Results-Nineteen patients with 20 SVTs (atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia without [n=11]/with [n=3] a bystander nodofascicular [NF] accessory pathway, ortho...

Contemporary Outcomes of Supraventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Congenital Heart Disease: A Single-Center Experience in 116 Patients
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Remote magnetic navigation–guided ablation with 3-dimensional (3D)-image integration could provide maximum benefit in patients with complex anatomy. We reviewed supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation in adult patients with congenital heart disease to assess the contribution of these te...

Inhibition of Late Sodium Current by Mexiletine: A Novel Pharmotherapeutical Approach in Timothy Syndrome
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Timothy syndrome (TS) is a rare long-QT syndrome caused by CACNA1C mutations G406R in exon 8A (TS1) and G402S/G406R in exon 8 (TS2). Management of TS is a challenge and prognosis is poor. This study aimed to explore the inheritance pattern and mechanism of an INa blocker, mexiletine, to improve c...

Mitochondria Oxidative Stress, Connexin43 Remodeling, and Sudden Arrhythmic Death
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Previously, we showed that a mouse model (ACE8/8) of cardiac renin–angiotensin system activation has a high rate of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death secondary to a reduction in connexin43 level. Angiotensin-II activation increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) pr...

Characterization of the Left Atrial Neural Network and its Impact on Autonomic Modification Procedures
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Left atrial (LA) ganglionated plexi (GP) are part of the intrinsic cardiac autonomic nervous system and implicated in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation. High frequency stimulation is used to identify GP sites in humans. The effect of ablation on neural pathways connecting GPs in humans is u...

Nonpharmacologic Control of Postoperative Supraventricular Arrhythmias Using AV Nodal Fat Pad Stimulation in a Young Animal Open Heart Surgical Model
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Supraventricular arrhythmias (junctional ectopic tachycardia [JET] and atrial tachyarrhythmias) frequently complicate recovery from open heart surgery in children and can be difficult to manage. Medical treatment of JET can result in significant morbidity. Our goal was to develop a nonpharmacolog...

Outcome of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Patients With Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy: The Impact of Noninducibility
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Ablation failure and recurrence rates after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in nonischemic cardiomyopathy are high and the optimal procedural end point is not well defined. This study assessed the outcome after ablation, the impact of noninducibility, and other potential predictors of VT re...

Isolated Conduction Within the Left His-Purkenje System During Sinus Rhythm and Idiopathic Left Ventricle Tachycardia: Findings From Mapping the Whole Conduction System
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Functionally, left His-Purkenje system (HPS) is insulated from the adjacent myocardium and exhibits isolated conduction during sinus rhythm (SR), but in vivo human study is rare. Meanwhile, whether the isolated conduction also exists during idiopathic left ventricle tachycardia (ILVT) is not clea...

Three-Dimensional Architecture of Scar and Conducting Channels Based on High Resolution ce-CMR: Insights for Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation
submitted by cmontico 23 minutes ago - Topic: Health
Conducting channels are the target for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Conducting channels could be identified with contrast enhanced–cardiac magnetic resonance (ce-CMR) as border zone (BZ) corridors. A 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the ce-CMR could allow visualization of the ...
