BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE |
To investigate the long-term follow-up after right atrial compartmentalization using radiofrequency catheter ablation to treat recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. |
PATIENTS AND METHODS |
33 patients (eight women / 25 men, mean age 56.1+/-9.9 years) with highly symptomatic recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and mostly unresponsive to antiarrhythmic drugs were enrolled in this prospective study. All patients underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation, including right atrial compartmentalization and... |
RESULTS |
During a mean follow-up of 2.1 years 21 % of patients were free of a relapse under continued antiarrhythmic medication, 79 % suffered at least from one period of atrial fibrillation. According to the underlying heart disease patients classified as "lone atrial fibrillation" (40 % without a relapse) showed improvement p... |
CONCLUSION |
Despite of the high rate of clinical relapse, patients can profit due to an improved responsiveness to antiarrhythmic drugs after ablation. Right atrial compartmentalization should not be understood as a causal therapy but as an approach to a symptomatic form of hybrid therapy.Paraganglioma Of Oral Cavity - A Rare Occu... |
Paragangliomas are described as the neoplasms arise from paraganglia irrespective of their anatomical location. 1 Occasionally they found outside the adrenal gland are called as extra – adrenal paragangliomas. 2 The incidence of paragangliomas of head and neck have found to be associated with carotid body, the ganglion... |
4744 Background: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men with a predilection to metastasize to the bone. There is a requirement for a chemotherapeutic agent capable of preventing or slowing down the growth of bone metastases. AZD3409 is a novel oral prenyl transferase inhibitor with anticancer potential. |
METHODS |
The effect of escalating doses of AZD3409 on proliferation of the malignant PC-3 and LNCaP, and non-malignant PNT2-C2 prostate epithelial cell lines was determined by CASY TT cell counter. PC-3 and PNT2-C2 colony formation was studied in co-culture using long-term human bone marrow stroma harvested from individuals wit... |
RESULTS |
AZD3409 displayed marked anti-proliferative properties on non-malignant (PNT2-C2) and malignant (PC-3 and LNCaP) prostate epithelial cells, with a concentration of 10 nM resulting in a 50% inhibition of growth after 5 days. AZD3409 inhibits invasion through bone marrow endothelium towards bone marrow stroma, with a con... |
CONCLUSIONS |
AZD3409 is a potent inhibitor of prostate epithelial cell proliferation and its anti-colony formation in bone marrow stroma co-culture suggests potential as an anti-metastatic agent. This hypothesis is strengthened by the fact that AZD3409 shows significant inhibition of prostate cancer cell invasion through human bone... |
