Who underreports smoking on birth records: a Monte Carlo predictive model with validation. by Thomas G Land, Anna S Landau, Susan E Manning, Jane K Purtill, Kate Pickett, Lauren Wakschlag, Vanja M Dukic

“…However, little is known about which populations have higher rates of underreporting. Availability of more accurate measures of smoking during pregnancy could greatly enhance the usefulness of existing studies on the effects of maternal smoking offspring, especially in those populations where underreporting may lead to underestimation of the impact of smoking during pregnancy.…”

Echocardiographic assessment of left atrial structural and functional changes after catheter ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with preserved ejection fraction by Qi Zhang, Nan Nan Liu, Jing Shu Sun, Zu Lu Wang, Ming Liang, Gui Shen Li, Mei Yi Wang

“…At 1 month and 3 months post-ablation, LA diameter (LAD), end-systolic/diastolic volumes, and volume index (LAVI) were significantly reduced, while left atrial appendage flow velocity (LAA-V), LAEF, LVEF, peak LA systolic strain (LASRs), and related strain rates were increased (all P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the 1-month LASRs recovery rate (ΔLASRs) was an independent predictor of AF recurrence (hazard ratio = 0.72, 95% confidence interval: 0.54–0.96, P = 0.023). …”
