    Abstract Introduction Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumour, usually arising in the long bones, with occurrence in the head and neck accounting for 8% of all osteosarcomas. Clinical features include swelling, pain, facial dysesthesia and abnormal mobility of teeth. Treatment consists of a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Case series Here, we present four cases of osteosarcoma of the jaws - two maxillary and two mandibular. All cases were initially assessed in the dental primary care setting before being referred for specialist opinion.Discussion The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of an uncommon but serious disease which can mimic common life-threatening dento-facial conditions. We discuss the diagnostic features, with an overview of clinical, histopathological and radiographic features.Conclusion These cases are important reminders of the potential clinical and radiographic appearance of a rare cause of facial swelling, and highlight the role of the general dental practitioner in early diagnosis and referral.

    Abstract Aim    The primary aim was to ascertain long-term rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in this all-comer patient population undergoing elective electrical cardioversion (DCR). Secondary aims included procedural DCR success, clinical predictors of long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) and AF related hospitalizations.Material and Methods    A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Consecutive patients (n=316) undergoing elective DCR were included.Results    Successful immediate reversion to SR was attained in 266 (84 %) of patients. 224 (84 %) patients were followed up for a median period of 3.5 years (IQR 2.7-4.3). Most patients (150 [67 %]) had recurrence of AF / flutter at a median time of 240 days. Clinical predictors of AF recurrence included a history of AF (HR 0.63, p=0.038) and a dilated left atrium (HR 4.13, p=0.048). Maintenance of SR was associated with fewer unplanned hospitalizations for AF (HR 3.25, p<0.01).Conclusion    There was high procedural success post DCR. However, long-term rates of AF recurrence were high, and AF recurrences were associated with increased hospitalizations. These findings underscore the importance of clinical vigilance and multi-modal management as part of a comprehensive and effective rhythm control strategy.

    Abstract Background: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is known to occur after right ventricular (RV) pacing; the effect on RV function is less well studied. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of RV mid-septal pacing upon RV function using the novel parameters of speckle-tracking derived RV global longitudinal strain (RV GLS) and RV free wall strain (RV FWS), as well as the conventional parameters RV fractional area change (FAC), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and tricuspid annular systolic velocity (RV S').
    Methods: Thirty-two (32) consecutive patients with normal baseline LV and RV function requiring permanent pacemaker insertion (for high-grade AV block or sinus node dysfunction) were prospectively recruited. Echocardiography was performed prior to implantation, at 1 day, 1 month and 1 year after implantation, with 29 patients completing follow-up.
    Results: After 1 year, three patients (10%) with otherwise normal RV parameters developed abnormal RV strain patterns. Compared to 1 day after implantation, at 1 year significant reductions were observed in mean RV GLS (-24.8 to -21.8%) RV S' (15.1 to 12.2 cm/s), TAPSE (24.2 to 21.9 mm), RV GLS (-24.8 to -21.8%), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (66.0 to 57.9%), LV GLS (-19.9 to 17.0), all p<0.01. There was a non-significant reduction for RV FWS (-29.0 to -26.7%, p=0.06) and there was no change in RV FAC (49.1 to 46.9%, p=0.24).
    Conclusion: We report abnormalities of RV strain developing 1 year after pacemaker insertion. Measurement of myocardial strain is emerging as an additional method to detect patients at risk of RV dysfunction in those who have undergone pacemaker implantation.

    Abstract Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is generally limited to transvenous techniques especially in pacing-dependant patients. We describe a novel case in which an epicardial CRT-D system was successfully implanted with a two-year follow-up in a pacing-dependant patient.

    Abstract Background: Increasingly, fractional flow reserve (FFR) is employed to assess coronary artery stenoses although there is limited real world long-term outcome data with a recent report questioning its safety. This study aimed to assess the in-hospital complications and clinical outcomes up to 10 years after FFR-guided revascularisation at a tertiary Australian hospital.
    Methods: The cohort comprised 274 consecutive patients undergoing FFR from 2010 to 2015 with follow-up to 2020. In-hospital complications and long-term outcomes were compared between patients with FFR≤0.80 and FFR>0.80. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) comprised cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularisation (TVR).
    Results: The FFR was ≤0.80 in 166 and >0.80 in 108 patients. Stable coronary disease was present in 95%. Revascularisation was undertaken in 86.7% of the FFR≤0.80 group and in 2.8% of the group with an FFR>0.80. In-hospital adverse events were 3.3% with no pressure wire-related coronary dissection, stroke or death. At median follow-up of 5 years, patients with FFR≤0.80 and FFR>0.80 had a similar rate of cardiac death (2.6% versus 5.0%, p=0.335) and MI (2.6% versus 6.9%, p=0.154). In the FFR>0.80 group, MACE (17.8% v 7.9%; p=0.018) and TVR (12.9% v 5.3%; p=0.033) were significantly higher.
    Conclusion: This observational study highlights the safety and long-term effectiveness of FFR-guided coronary revascularisation in patients with predominantly stable disease.
