DOI: 10.1111/codi.16315
Abstract: A prolonged interval (>4 weeks) between short‐course radiotherapy (25 Gy in five fractions) (SCRT‐delay) and total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer has been associated with a decreased postoperative complication rate and offers the possibility of organ preservation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229519
Abstract: Background Measures of cardiac ventricular electrophysiology have been associated with cognitive performance in cross-sectional studies. We sought to evaluate the association of worsening ventricular repolarization in midlife, as measured by incident prolonged QT interval, with… read more here.

DOI: 10.5009/gnl210537
Abstract: Approximately 30% to 70% of patients with cirrhosis have QT interval prolongation. In patients without cirrhosis, QT prolongation is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, such as torsade de pointes (TdP). In cirrhotic… read more here.

Baseline Prolonged PR Interval and Outcome of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia"
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20180198
Abstract: Background Recent studies suggest that baseline prolonged PR interval is associated with worse outcome in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature have not been made. Objective To assess… read more here.
