Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is continually evolving, with a recent emphasis on a “minimalist” approach toward reducing procedural invasiveness, duration, and recovery time. Whereas a better understanding of the relationship between TAVR and new conduction disturbances has led to improved periprocedural management, intraprocedural rapid-pacing techniques have not evolved beyond traditional right ventricular temporary pacing. An alternative strategy utilizing the left ventricular guidewire for rapid pacing has been developed with evidence supporting its safety, effectiveness, and potential reductions in procedure time and cost. This review will outline the current best practices in left ventricular pacing for TAVR, a practical technique that embraces the minimalist approach to TAVR and may be considered for routine use. It aims to explore the current evidence and combine this with expert opinion to offer a strategy for temporary pacing that encourages efficiencies for physicians and patients without compromising periprocedural safety.

Much of the recent transport focus in rural sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been on road building and upgrading as opposed to the provision of public transport. The literature reveals evidence of significant negative public health outcomes associated with crashes and pollution attributable to rural transport. We report the results of a synthesis of professional opinion obtained from in-person interviews and an internet survey on health issues related to the provision of public transport in rural SSA. Field interviews were conducted as semi-structured dialogues with some 40 transportation and public health professionals in the capital cities of Ethiopia, Ghana and Kenya. Additionally, 86 responses to an Internet survey were received from 38 African countries. Poor mechanical conditions of vehicles and risky driving behaviours were reported to be an important source of injury from rural road crashes. The factors contributing to unsafe rural public transport were attributable to economic barriers to proper operation. Although there was some mismatch among the survey and interview results and the literature, public transport was shown to be an important potential source of air pollution exposure. The overwhelming conclusion is the lack of true understanding of the health impacts of rural air pollution in relation to basic needs for provision of safe mobility. The findings reflect the awareness of various professional communities and emphasise the complexity of the relationship between rural public transport and public health. Transport and health relationships in places such as rural sub-Saharan Africa are further complicated by the fact that there is such significant potential for positive health outcomes attributable to transport through enhanced access to healthcare, education, commerce, etc. Systematic epidemiological research is needed to fully understand the trade-offs between rural mobility and its impacts to public health in rural sub-Saharan Africa.

One of the major issues of mesh generation today is access to geometry in an accurate and efficient manner. This paper will review several of the issues associated with accessing geometry for mesh generation. This paper will also evaluate alternative techniques for accessing geometry and review how these techniques address, or do not address, the issues related to geometry access for mesh generation. The techniques for geometry access to be reviewed include: translation and healing, discrete representations, direct geometry access, and unified topology accessing geometry directly. The intent of this paper is to provide an overview to the alternative approaches and how they address the specific issues related to accessing geometry for mesh generation. It is not the intent of this paper to provide detailed algorithms related to accessing or repairing geometry data.
