Coexistence of complete infra-Hisian block, WPW syndrome and Mobitz type II Kent Bundle block.

A 65-year-old patient with a chief complaint of syncope had an ECG with ventricular preexcitation and intermittent second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. AV conduction was maintained by the accessory pathway only, with no evidence of AV nodal conduction. Electrophysiological study demonstrated that the QRS duration and morphology did not increase with atrial pacing; however, A-H prolongation occurred with increased pacing rates.

[Chronobiologic resolution of disabling pathologies in shift workers].

The annual sequence of sickness leaves was studied in 162 industrial workers with a high absenteeism level. An investigation of the swings in haemodynamic balance, and imbalances linked to alternations in vessel constriction and dilation throughout the biorhythmic cycle influenced by the alternation of night and day, hot and cold seasons, showed that each period of sick leave coincided with each period of haemodynamic balance caused by particular shifts. It was thus possible to identify groups of workers with syndromic sub groups whose performance was affected by night work and particular seasons. For optimal shift-worker deployment it is therefore suggested that workers should be assigned to shifts to which they are biologically suited.
