Fundamental Electrophysiology Principles Related to Perioperative Management of Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices
There is an increasing number of patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery who have a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) in the United States. Practice advisories and consensus statements have been issued by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Heart Rhythm Society, advocating a multidisciplinary approach. Unfortunately, anesthesia providers often find themselves in the situation where they are left to manage these devices on their own. At the University of Washington Medical Center an anesthesiology-based service to manage these devices has existed for over a decade. (Source: Journal ...

Puzzling objects found far beyond Neptune hint at second Kuiper belt
There just doesn’t seem to be enough of the Solar System. Beyond Neptune’s orbit lie thousands of small icy objects in the Kuiper belt, with Pluto its most famous resident. But after 50 astronomical units (AU)—50 times the distance between Earth and the Sun—the belt ends suddenly and the number of objects drops to zero. Meanwhile, in other solar systems, similar belts stretch outward across hundreds of AU. It’s disquieting, says Wesley Fraser, an astronomer at the National Research Council Canada. “One odd thing about the known Solar System is just how bloody small we are.”
