Abstract: BACKGROUND Esophageal thermal injury is a feared complication of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Rise in luminal esophageal temperature (LET) limits the ability to deliver radiofrequency energy on the posterior wall of the left… read more here.

Abstract: Brain temperature monitoring is important in target temperature management for comatose survivors after cardiac arrest. Since acquisition of brain temperature is invasive and unrealistic in scene of resuscitation, we tried to sought out surrogate sites… read more here.
