Background
Esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is a serious drawback of available energy sources for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, especially on the posterior left atrial (LA) wall. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel non-thermal energy source with promising safety advantages over existing methods due to its unique myocardial tissue specificity sparing the esophagus.
Objective
To evaluate esophageal temperature changes during very wide antral pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using the PFA system.
Methods
Thirteen consecutive AF patients (62% with paroxysmal AF; age: 61 years; 70% male) underwent first-time PFA under deep sedation. Eight pulse trains (2kV/2.5 sec, bipolar, biphasic, 4x basket/flower configuration each) were delivered to each pulmonary vein (PV). Extra pulse trains in the flower configuration were added for very wide antral circumferential ablation (vWACA). Continuous intraluminal esophageal temperature (TESO) was monitored with an S-shaped esophageal temperature probe.
Results
A median of 32 (IQR 32;32) and 8 (IQR 8;9) pulse trains for PVI and vWACA with a procedural time and catheter dwell time of 67 min (IQR 61-69) and 17 min (IQR 16-18) were applied. PFA with vWACA resulted in consecutive posterior LA wall isolation in 11/13 patients. Fluoroscopically, the esophagus coursed near the right PVs in 2/13, left PVs in 8/13 and mid-posterior wall position in 3/13 patients. Maximum TESO increase from baseline was 0.8 ±0.9 °C. However, no clinically relevant TESO changes occurred (Table 1). On short-term, all patients remained asymptomatic for sore throat, cough, or other symptoms potentially related to ETI. No esophago-duodenoscopy was necessary.
Conclusion
PFA of the PVs and lesion extension to the posterior LA wall demonstrated clinically non-significant TESO changes and has the potential to eliminate the risk of a thermal damage to the esophagus.

Background
Catheter ablation for typical right atrial flutter (AFL) provides an effective treatment associated with encouraging clinical outcome. The novel micro-electrode ablation catheter allows very high-power short-duration (vHP-SD, 90 W/4 sec) ablation and potentially offers the ability to perform a safe, effective and faster cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation.
Aims
We evaluated feasibility and efficacy of a vHP-SD (90 W/4 sec) temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) CTI ablation for AFL using a novel contact force (CF) sensing ablation catheter with micro-electrodes.
Methods
Fifteen consecutive patients (median age 75 years (interquartile range, IQR: 67, 79), 67 % male) with documented typical AFL were prospectively enrolled and underwent vHP-SD based CTI ablation (90 W/4 sec). Durability of CTI block was proven by pacing maneuvers from both sides of the ablation line.
Results
Complete CTI block using vHP-SD ablation was achieved in all patients (Figure 1). At median 23 (IQR 20; 39) RF applications over a median RF ablation time of 92 (IQR 78, 154) seconds were applied. It was not necessary to switch to the standard temperature-controlled mode to achieve durable CTI block. No periprocedural complications, no charring and no steam pops were observed.
Conclusions
Very high-power short-duration (90 W/4 sec) CTI ablation for the treatment of typical AFL is feasible and efficient. Effective CTI block can be achieved in about 1.5 minutes of RF time.

Abstract

Background
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the gold standard for first-time atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. Wide antral circumferential ablation (WACA) in comparison to ostial PVI has been attributed to an improved rhythm outcome after AF ablation. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel energy source with promising safety and efficacy advantages over existing ablation methods due to its unique myocardial tissue specificity. Feasibility of PFA for very WACA has not been investigated so far.
Objective
To evaluate procedural characteristics and lesion formation during wide antral circumferential PVI in comparison to ostial PVI using a PFA system.
Methods
Thirty-seven consecutive AF patients underwent first-time PFA under deep sedation. Patients eighter received ostial (ostial group; N = 15: 66 % paroxysmal AF; age: 69 years; 66 % male) or very wide antral (vWACA group; N = 22: 59 % paroxysmal AF; age: 62 years; 73 % male) PFA. Pre and post ablation LA voltage maps were acquired using a 20-pole spiral catheter together with a 3-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system (voltage cutoff ≤0.5 mV). On post ablation maps, lesion size by encircling the ablated area was measured. In all patients, 8 pulse trains (2kV/2.5 sec, bipolar, biphasic, 4x basket/flower configuration each) were delivered to each pulmonary vein (PV). In the vWACA-group, extra pulse trains in flower configuration were added to each PV in a wide antral position continuous intraluminal esophageal temperatures (TESO) were monitored with an S-shaped esophageal temperature probe.
Results
A median of 8 [IQR 8;8] and 10 [IQR 10;11] pulse trains per PV for ostial and vWACA PVI were applied. vWACA PFA resulted in significant larger lesion formation (47.3 cm2 [IQR 39.1; 52.0]) in comparison to ostial PFA (35.5 cm2 [IQR 30.3; 38.1], p=0.013) with consecutive posterior LA wall isolation in 19/22 (86 %) patients (Figure 1). In the vWACA group, median TESO increased by 0.7 °C (TESOmax 36.5 °C [IQR 36.0;36.9]). However, the vWACA approach was not associated with a significant increase in procedure time, sedation dosage or exposure to radiation.
Conclusion
Very wide antral circumferential PFA of the PVs is feasible and was associated with significant larger lesion formation in comparison to conventional ostial PFA. Concomitant posterior LA wall isolation occurred in the majority of patient and did not result in a clinically significant increase of intraluminal esophageal temperatures, procedure time, sedation and radiation dosage.

Abstract

Type of funding sources: None.
Background
The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) has become an alternative to transvenous ICDs (tv-ICD), especially in young patients without a need for pacing. One of the current limitations of the S-ICD is the relatively large size of the generator compared to tv-ICDs. There is little evidence whether the size of the current S-ICD generator is associated with an elevated risk of device-related complications in patients with a low body mass index (BMI).
Purpose
To compare the device-related complications and long-term outcomes in a large real world cohort of S-ICD recipients in patients with a BMI <18 kg/m2 compared to patients with a BMI >18 kg/m2.
Methods
The iSuSI registry is a European, multi-center, open-label, independent, and physician-initiated observational registry. A total of twenty-two Public and Private Healthcare Institutions from 4 different countries in Europe were involved in the registry. All consecutive patients meeting current guideline indications for ICD implantation and undergoing implantation of a S-ICD device (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA) at 21 European institutions enrolled in the registry were used for the current analysis. Patients were classified into two cohorts, depending on the BMI at the time of device implantations: BMI < 18 kg/m2 versus > 18 kg/m2.
Results
Out of a total of 1497 pts, 58 pts (3.9%) had a BMI < 18 kg/m2. Patients with BMI <18 kg/m2 were younger (44.6±2.4 vs 50.8±0.4; p=0.004) and more frequently female (58.6% vs 22.3%, p<0.001). No differences in any of the other baseline characteristic were observed. Implantation techniques resulted comparable between the groups (Rates of 2-incision technique: 87.8% vs 91.9%; p=0.256; inter-muscular placement: 89.7% vs 83.3%; p=0.198). Of note, the mean PRAETORIAN score at implantation of patients with BMI <18 kg/m2 was significantly lower (33.8±9.1 vs 54.1±47.3; p=0.035), although the vast majority of pts in both cohorts qualify as at low risk of conversion failure (100% vs 91.4%; p=0.436).
Over a median follow up time of 22.4 [11.6–36.8] months, both overall device-related complications (5.2% vs 7.4%) and rates of inappropriate shocks (12.0% vs 8.8%) resulted comparable between the two groups (p =0.517 and p=0.385, respectively). Figure1 reports Kaplan-Meier curves reporting the combined incidence of device-related complications and inappropriate shocks in the two groups (log-rank p = 0.576).
Conclusion
No difference in device-related complications and long-term outcomes after S-ICD implantation were observed in patients with BMI <18 kg/m2 compared to the remaining recipients from a large, multi-centered S-ICD registry.

Background
Data on patients with heart failure (HF) and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) are very scarce and limited to a single prospective analysis from the UNTOUCHED trial.
Purpose
Aim of this study was to assess clinical outcomes of the S-ICD in HF patients, comparing them with a no-HF population, in a real-world analysis from the largest European retrospective S-ICD registry (ELISIR registry).
Methods
All consecutive patients undergoing S-ICD implantation at 20 European institutions enrolled in the ELISIR registry were used for the current analysis. According to European Guidelines, the registry population was classified into two groups: the HF cohort (further classified as HF with reduced and mid-range ejection fraction – HFrEF and HFmrEF) vs the no-HF group. The primary outcome of the study was the inappropriate shock (IS) rate across the two cohorts. As secondary outcomes, appropriate shocks, cardiovascular mortality and device-related complications during follow-up were assessed.
Results
A total of 1409 patients from the ELISIR registry were included in this analysis; HF patients represented 57.3% of the entire cohort (n=701, 86.9% HFrEF; n=106,13.1% HFmrEF). As expected, the HF cohort showed significantly higher rates of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities when compared to the no-HF cohort. Over a median follow-up of approximately 2 years, a total of 133 inappropriate shocks were observed in the entire cohort, without significant differences among the two groups (9.2% vs 9.8%, p=0.689). 133 complex ventricular arrhythmias were adequately recognized and treated in the overall cohort, showing similar rates of appropriate shocks (9.2% vs 9.8%, p=0.689). Inappropriate and effective shocks-free survival has been represented in Figure 1, showing Kaplan-Meier estimates comparing HF vs no-HF patients, also stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The impact of baseline and procedural characteristics on the primary outcome was tested through univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis in HF patients; at multivariate analysis, only age (HR=0.974 [0.955–0.992], p=0.005), LVEF (HR=0.954 [0.926-0.984], p=0.003), ARVC (HR=3.364 [1.206-9.384], p=0.020) and smart pass algorithm "on" (HR=0.321 [0.184-0.560], p<0.001) remained associated with inappropriate shocks (Figure 2). A low number of patients (n=76) experienced device-related complications, more frequently in the HF cohort (6.2% vs 3.8%, p=0.031) with no significant differences regarding any specific outcome of interest: lead infection (1.1% vs 0.7%, p=0.381), pocket infection (1.9% vs 0.8%, p=0.107), pocket hematoma (3.2% vs 2.8%, p=0.668).
Conclusion
The rate of inappropriate shocks seems to be comparable in both HF and non-HF patients implanted with S-ICD. However, the rate of device-related complications was slightly more frequent in HF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S–ICD) has become an alternative to transvenous ICDs (TV–ICD) in patients who do not need pacing. To date, there is little evidence directly comparing the rates of inappropriate shocks (IAS) in young vs old S–ICD recipients.
Purpose
Aim of our study was to assess differences in device–related complications and inappropriate shocks (IS) between teenagers/young adults and adult recipients of a subcutabeous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S–ICD) device.
Methods
Two propensity–matched cohorts of teenagers + young adults (≤ 30–year–old) and adults (> 30–year–old) were retrieved from the ELISIR registry. The primary outcome was the comparison of the inappropriate shock (IAS) rate; complications, freedom from sustained ventricular arrhythmic events, overall and cardiovascular mortality were deemed secondary outcomes.
Results
A total of 1491 patients were extracted from the ELISIR project. Teenagers + young adults represented 11.0% of the entire cohort. Two propensity–matched groups of 161 patients each were used for the analysis (Figure 1); median follow–up was 23.1 [13.2–40.5] months. 15.2% patients experienced inappropriate S–ICD shocks and 9.3% device related complications were observed with no age–related differences in IAS (16.1% vs 14.3%; p = 0.642) and complication rates (9.9% vs 8.7%; p = 0.701); Figure 2 shows a survival analysis from inappropriate shocks in the teen–ager/young adult cohort (red) and in the adult cohort (blue). At univariate analysis, young age was not associated with increased rates of IAS (HR 1.204 [0.675–2.148]: p = 0.529). At multivariate analysis (Figure 3), the use of SMART pass algorithm was associated to a strong reduction in IAS (aHR 0.292 [0.161–0.525]; p < 0.001), while ARVC was associated with higher rates of IAS (aHR 2.380 [1.205–4.697]; p = 0.012).
Conclusion
In a large multicentered European registry of patients with S–ICD, 11.0% of all recipients were teenagers or young adults. The use of S–ICD in teenagers/young adults resulted safe and effective, and the rates of complications and IAS between teenagers/young adults and adults were not significantly different. The only predictor of increased IAS was a diagnosis of ARVC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Data on patients with heart failure (HF) with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S–ICD) are scarce.
Objective
Aim of this study was to assess clinical outcomes of the S–ICD in HF patients in a real–world analysis from the largest European retrospective S–ICD registry (ELISIR).
Methods
All consecutive patients undergoing S–ICD implantation at several European institutions were used for the current analysis. The population was classified into two groups: the HF (classified as HF with reduced and mid–range ejection fraction – HFrEF and HFmrEF) vs the no–HF cohort. The primary outcome of the study was the inappropriate shock (IS) rate across the two cohorts. As secondary outcomes, appropriate shocks, cardiovascular mortality and device–related complications during follow–up were assessed
Results
A total of 1409 patients from the ELISIR registry were included; HF patients represented 57.3% of the entire cohort (n = 701, 86.9% HFrEF; n = 106,13.1% HFmrEF). Over a median follow–up of approximately 2 years, a total of 133 inappropriate shocks were observed in the entire cohort, without significant differences among the two groups (9.2% vs 9.8%, p = 0.689). 133 complex ventricular arrhythmias were adequately recognized and treated, with similar rates of appropriate shocks (9.2% vs 9.8%, p = 0.689). Inappropriate and effective shocks–free survival has been represented in Figure 1 (Kaplan–Meier estimates). At multivariate analysis (Figure 2), age (HR = 0.974 [0.955–0.992], p = 0.005), LVEF (HR = 0.954 [0.926–0.984], p = 0.003), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy – ARVC (HR = 3.364 [1.206–9.384], p = 0.020) and smart pass + (HR = 0.321 [0.184–0.560], p < 0.001) remained associated with inappropriate shocks. Moreover, a low number of patients (n = 76) experienced device–related complications, more frequently in the HF cohort (6.2% vs 3.8%, p = 0.031) with no significant differences regarding any specific outcome of interest: lead infection (1.1% vs 0.7%, p = 0.381), pocket infection (1.9% vs 0.8%, p = 0.107), pocket hematoma (3.2% vs 2.8%, p = 0.668).
Conclusion
The use of S–ICD in HF patients did not result in a higher rate of inappropriate shocks when compared to no–HF patients, even when stratifying for LVEF. Only age, LVEF, ARVC e Smart Pass algorithm were predictors of the primary outcome at multivariate analysis. Despite a lower overall rate of complications in the entire cohort, HF patients experienced device–related complications more frequently.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and may be especially attractive in patients with high risk or a history of bleeding. However, data of clinical benefit and incidence of post-procedural bleeding in patients with both high risk of bleeding and ischemic cerebral stroke after LAAC are lacking.
Objectives
This study sought to identify predictors and the prognostic impact of post-LAAC bleeding in patients at high risk and/or history of bleeding in the direct oral anticoagulant therapy (DOAC) era.
Methods and results
We retrospectively enrolled a total of 195 patients (75 ± 8.7 years, 38% female, 47% with previous major bleeding, mean CHA2DS2-VASc score 4.3 ± 1.6 and mean HAS-BLED score 2.7 ± 1.1) undergoing endocardial (91%) or epicardial (9%) LAAC during a mean follow-up of 339 ± 319 days. Twenty-three (11.9%) patients developed procedure-unrelated bleeding events after a median of 147 (43, 362) days after LAAC, in 12/23 (52%) patients under single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), 6/23 (26%) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), 1/23 (4%) DOAC, 1/23 (4%) VKA, 2/23 (9%) dual therapy (SAPT and DOAC/VKA) and 1/23 (4%) triple therapy (DAPT and DOAC/VKA). (Figure) Diabetes mellitus and previous major bleeding were identified as the independent predictors of post-LAAC bleeding (Odds ratio 2.65 [95% CI:1.04-6.73], p = 0.041, and 5.50 [95% confidence interval:1.72-17.5], p = 0.004). Post-LAAC bleeding was associated with all-cause death (9/23 [39%] vs 18/171 [11%], p = 0.001), but not ischemic stroke/TIA (1/23 [4%] vs 6/171 [4%], p = 0.593) nor device thrombus (2/23 [9%] vs 3/171 [2%], p = 0.108). Kaplan-Meier curve estimated that patients with post-LAAC bleeding had a worse mortality than those without post-LAAC bleeding (3-year mortality; 35.6% [95%CI; 11.6-61.0%] vs 68.7% [45.0-83.8], p = 0.029)
Conclusions
In AF patients with high bleeding risk or history of bleeding undergoing LAAC, bleeding events are common and may occur even after long-term duration after LAAC. Previous major bleeding history strongly predicts subsequent bleeding events following LAAC and is associated with unfavorable mortality. Further investigations are required to identify optimal post-procedural antithrombotic strategies for patients undergoing LAAC with previous major bleeding.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Based on the assumption of trigger elimination, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) currently presents the gold standard of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Recently, rapidly spinning rotors or focal impulse formation has been raised as a crucial sustaining mechanism of AF. Ablation of these rotors may potentially obviate the need for trigger elimination with PVI.
Purpose
This study sought to compare the safety and effectiveness of Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation (FIRM) guided catheter ablation only with the gold standard of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal AF.
Methods
This was a post-market, prospective, single-blinded, randomized, multi-center trial. Patients were enrolled at three centers and equally (1:1) randomized between those undergoing conventional RF ablation with PVI (PVI group) vs. those treated with FIRM-guided RF ablation without PVI (FIRM group). Data was collected at enrollment, procedure, and at 7-day, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up visits. The study was closed early by the sponsor. At the time of study closure, any pending follow-up visits were waived.
Results
From February 2016 until February 2018, a total of 51 (out of a planned 170) patients (mean age 63±10.6 years, 57% male) were enrolled and randomized. Four patients withdrew from the study prior to treatment, resulting in 23 patients allocated to the FIRM group and 24 in the PVI group. Only 13 patients in the FIRM group and 11 patients in the PVI group completed the 12-month follow-up. Statistical analysis was not completed given the small number of patients.
Single-procedure effectiveness (freedom from AF/atrial tachycardia recurrence after blanking period) was 52.9% (9/17) in the FIRM group and 85.7% (12/14) in the PVI group at 6 months; and 31.3% (5/16) in the FIRM group and 80% (8/10) in the PVI group at 12 months. Repeat procedures were performed in 45.8% (11/24) patients in the FIRM group and 7.4% (2/27) in the PVI group.
The acute safety endpoint [freedom from procedure-related serious adverse events (SAE)] was achieved in 87% (20/23) of FIRM group patients and 100% (24/24) of PVI group patients. Procedure related SAEs occurred in three patients in the FIRM group: 1 femoral artery aneurysm and 2 injection site hematomas. No additional procedure-related SAEs were reported >7 days post-procedure.
Conclusions
These partial study effectiveness results reinforce the importance of PVI in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients and suggest that FIRM-guided ablation alone (without PVI) is not an effective strategy for treatment of paroxysmal AF in most patients. Further study is needed to understand the effectiveness of adding FIRM-guided ablation as an adjunct to PVI in this patient group.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Rotors have been postulated to be a major driver of atrial fibrillation (AF). Initial studies demonstrated, that focal impulse and rotor modulation (FIRM) might be an effective therapy for the treatment of paroxysmal AF (PAF). However, data about FIRM-guided ablation strategies without PVI is sparse.
Objective
To compare the safety and efficacy of FIRM-guided catheter ablation (without PVI; FIRM arm) and second generation cryoballoon (CB2, CB2 arm) based PVI in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and de-novo catheter ablation of AF.
Methods
In this retrospective single-center study patients with PAF undergoing de-novo ablation of PAF between February 2016 and January 2017 were enrolled. Patients treated with FIRM-guided AF ablation as a standalone therapy without PVI were included and compared with patients undergoing CB2 based PVI. All patients in the FIRM arm were part of the randomized multicenter FIRMAP AF trial (results of this trial will be presented at this meeting). In patients undergoing FIRM-guided ablation, 3D electroanatomical mapping of both atria was performed. Rotor mapping using FIRM technology was conducted in spontaneous or induced AF. The procedural endpoint was the elimination of all rotors and focal impulses; no PVI was performed in those patients. In the CB2 arm, CB based PVI with the procedural endpoint of isolation of all veins was performed. Procedural data and arrhythmia-free survival after 12 months were compared.
Results
FIRM-guided and CB2 based AF ablation was performed in 22 and 86 patients, respectively. Follow up was completed in 20 and 79 patients LA diameter differed between groups. Otherwise, baseline characteristics did not differ between the FIRM group (mean age 60±11 years, 59.1% males) and the CB2 group (mean age 62±13, 62.4% male).
Arrhythmia-free survival including a 90-day blanking period was 25.0% (15/20) in the FIRM group and 86.1% (11/79) in the CB2 PVI group (p=0.000; Figure 1). Procedure duration was significantly longer in the FIRM group (152 [120; 176] minutes) compared to the CB2 PVI group (122 [110; 145] minutes) (p=0.031), whereas radiation dose was lower in the FIRM group (1266 [1027; 2281] cGy·cm2 vs. 3020 [1677; 4215] cGy·cm2). Adverse events (groin complications) occurred in 1 patient (1.2%) in the CB2 PVI group and 5 patients (22.7%) in the FIRM group.

Conclusion
De novo ablation of PAF using a FIRM-guided AF ablation only (without PVI) is associated with poor arrhythmia-free survival after 12 months compared to CB2 PVI. These results underline the importance of PVI as the first-line approach in catheter ablation of AF.

Abstract
Background The approach to treat device infection in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) is a challenging procedure. Optimal treatment is complete extraction of the infected device. To protect these patients from sudden cardiac arrest while waiting for reimplantation and to avoid recurrent infection, a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) seems to be a valuable solution. Therefore, we investigated the management and outcome of patients with ICD or CRT-D infections using the WCD as a bridge to re-implantation after lead extraction procedures. Methods We conducted a retrospective study on consecutive patients who underwent ICD or CRT-D removal due to device-related local or systemic infections. All patients were prescribed a WCD at our center between 01/2012 and 10/2015. All patients returned to our outpatient clinic for regular ICD or CRT-D monitoring initially 1 and 3 months after reimplantation followed by 6-months intervals. Results Twenty-one patients (mean age 65.0 ± 8.0 years, male 76.2%) were included in the study. Complete lead extraction was achieved in all patients. While waiting for reimplantation one patient experienced a symptomatic episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia. This episode was converted successfully into sinus rhythm by a single 150 J shock. Mean follow-up time 392 ± 206 days, showing survival rate of 100% and freedom from reinfection in all patients. Conclusion The WCD seems to be a valuable bridging option for patients with ICD or CRT-D infections, showing no recurrent device infection.

Abstract
The authors describe a clinical course that incorporates practical experience in continuous quality improvement, case management, managed care, and healthcare systems analysis. Increasingly, nurses need to know and be able to use these concepts; therefore, they were added to the nursing curriculum. Although nursing students are able to articulate leadership and management theories, their ability to apply them is limited by lack of experience. This course is designed to provide a practical experience base that students may draw from upon entry into practice.

Abstract
The object of the study was to determine whether mercury concentrations in blood and urine were increased directly after placement of non-gamma 2-amalgam fillings. Our cohort consisted of 45 subjects, male and female, age between 19 and 45 years, who had amalgam fillings and were not exposed to mercury on their jobs. Thirty subjects received non-gamma 2-amalgam fillings, 15 did get new fillings. Cold, flameless atom absorption spectrometry was used to analyze mercury levels in blood and urine samples before and for 24 hours after placement of the amalgam fillings at one hour intervals. Mercury concentrations in blood (before and after) and - before placement of new non-gamma 2-amalgam fillings - in urin were below the normal upper limit in all 45 subjects. Mercury concentrations in urin after placement of new fillings did not show any increase over 24 hours. Median values varied between 1.0 and 2.1 micrograms Hg/g creatinine and thus were also within the normal range.

Abstract
A pilot study comparing standard radiography to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on the wrists of 10 patients with early (anatomic Stage I or II) rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MRI was found to be superior to standard radiographs in 2 respects: (1) synovial inflammation was impressively demonstrated on T2 weighted images, whereas plain films merely suggested soft tissue swelling; and (2) T1 and T2 weighted images clearly revealed erosions of several carpal bones which were not noted on standard radiographs. Although the expense of MRI currently precludes its routine use in clinical practice, the apparent sensitivity of this diagnostic modality for detecting early changes in RA might make it an invaluable tool for therapeutic decision making or for assessing response in interventional trials.

Abstract
To help determine the clinical significance of the bone loss associated with primary hyperparathyroidism, we studied the prevalence of vertebral fractures in a group of patients with this disorder. From a registry of parathyroidectomies, 206 cases were reviewed, and lateral chest roentgenograms were studied for the presence of fractures. All roentgenograms were interpreted by two of the investigators who were "blinded" to diagnoses. Comparisons of readings were made that assured interrater agreement. A group of patients who underwent cholecystectomy served as controls. Studied in a logistic regression analysis model, controlling for the effects of age, sex, and race, primary hyperparathyroidism was found to be significantly associated with vertebral fractures. Subgroup analyses performed on the patients with hyperparathyroidism failed to identify specific biochemical or clinical markers associated with fractures. Our results suggest that the bone loss of primary hyperparathyroidism is clinically significant, leading not only to decreased bone densities but also to an increased prevalence of fractures.
