Marked preoperative regression of biopsy-diagnosed microsatellite instability-high colon adenocarcinoma with a small residual traditional serrated adenoma: A case report

Introduction: Marked regression of colorectal cancer before surgery is extremely rare. Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-high) tumors are characterized by a high neoantigen burden and pronounced immunogenicity. Biopsy-associated tissue injury may induce local inflammatory and...

Localization of Non‐Pulmonary Vein Trigger of Atrial Fibrillation in Relation to Atrial Low Voltage Area

ABSTRACT Background We previously reported that non‐pulmonary vein (PV) triggers of atrial fibrillation (AF) often arise from low‐voltage areas (LVAs) in the left atrium (LA). However, the specific spatial relationship between trigger sites and distribution of LVAs has not been f...
