The efficacy and safety of cryoballoon catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Electrical isolation of pulmonary vein ostia is an established therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. ⋯ It was concluded that in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, with normal left atrium anatomy and no risk factors, it can be controlled with single pulmonary vein isolation without additional atrial substrate modification.

Early use of high-dose vitamin C is beneficial in treatment of sepsis.
Vitamin C has shown benefits in patients with sepsis in addition to standard therapy recently. However, further evidence is required to verify the efficacy of vitamin C in clinical practice. This study aimed to investigate the effect of adjunctive intravenous high-dose vitamin C treatment on hospital mortality in patients with sepsis. ⋯ The early treatment of sepsis with intravenous high-dose vitamin C in combination with standard therapy showed a beneficial effect on sepsis, in terms of the reduced 28-day mortality, the decreased SOFA score, and the increased clearance rate of procalcitonin.
