👇Bundle Branch Reentry Tachycardia: The Beauty of EP Findings👇 1. The earliest potentials are observed in the right bundle branch. Here, excitation travels from the proximal ablation catheter to the distal catheter, then reaches the apex where the RVa is located. This reflects antegrade propagation of the excitation from proximal to distal within the right bundle branch. 2. During a VT with a LBBB morphology, I would typically expect the ventricular signals to show concentric activation in the CS. However, in this case, the activation is eccentric—CS 1/2 is earlier than CS 9/10, suggesting retrograde conduction through the LAF is faster than through the RV lateral free wall 🤔🤔 3. The excitation travels antegrade through the RBB and retrograde through the LBB in a counterclockwise pattern. 4. PPI-CL in the RVa is +19 ms.

👇 Typical AVNRT: EPS Findings in 45 Seconds 👇 #EPeeps huge thanks to Nadica Trajkovska for her amazing videos, dedication, and passion for the fundamentals of rhythmology! 🫡🫡 Just like young doctors are the future of medicine, mastering the basics of rhythmology is the future of EP! 👉 Dual AV Node Physiology: Presence of an AH jump — antegrade conduction switches from the fast pathway (FP) to the slow pathway (SP) once the FP’s refractory period is reached. 👉 AVN Echo Beats: Antegrade conduction goes to the ventricle via SP and retrograde back to the atrium via FP (A → SP → V → FP → A = the complete AVNRT reentry circuit 🔄). 👉 Typical AVNRT: Short RP tachycardia (VA interval < 70 ms) due to the fast retrograde VA conduction via FP 👉 1:1 conduction: V = A. 👉 Decremental VA conduction.

ありがとう。 あなたのクィアの仲間達にも、ありがとうとお伝えください。 日本人は単一的な民族で、平均的な芸術やモノを好みます。もちろんいい部分もありますが、世界から見た場合には、少しガラパゴスな思考性を持ち、単一にとどまらない考えや、新たなクリエイティブを排除しようとする性質も持ちます。 芸術だけでなく、あらゆるものが単一化していて、あなたはそれに驚く事があると思います。 "クィア・ベイティング"と言う言葉の意味や、人々の価値観にもとまどうと思います。 その原因の元をたどれば、日本経済やテクノロジーが一定期間、自国のみで発展してしまったからだと僕は考えています。 でも、今は靴ヒモをしめなおす時が来ています。 僕には「自分らしさ」が当たり前にあっていい時代のアシオトが聞こえます。 僕の作品があなたにとって「自分らしさ」の 居場所になっていて、幸せです。 僕も少しづつですが「自分らしく」あります。 あなたの友達にも、ありがとうとお伝えください。 Individuality — “自分らしく” BL作品 Thank you. The Japanese people are often seen as a homogeneous nation, favoring average forms of art and everyday things. Of course, there are positive aspects to this, but from a global perspective, there is also a somewhat insular way of thinking—one that tends to reject ideas that go beyond uniformity or challenge new creativity. Not only in art, but in many aspects of life, things are often made uniform. I believe this may sometimes surprise you. You may also feel puzzled by certain values, such as the meaning of the word “queer-baiting” and how people perceive it. Tracing it back, I believe the root lies in the period when Japan’s economy and technology developed largely in isolation, relying only on itself. But now, it’s time to tighten our shoelaces once again. I can already hear the footsteps of a new era—one where individuality, or being “your true self,” is something completely natural. If my work has become a place where your “true self” feels at home, that makes me happy. I, too, am learning little by little to live more in line with my own true self. And please also say thank you to your friends for me. Individuality — “自分らしく” Music Video

『METAL SLUG３』に登場した『ドリルスラッグ』です。 ドリルは男のロマン！ドリルこそが男の魂ですね。 そのドリルを武器とした『ドリルスラッグ』に、本業である地面に穴を開け掘り進むというギミックを考えていたんですが、当時はどうにも面白みに欠けるアイデアしか浮かばず、実装には至りませんでした。 あの頃は『ドリルスラッグ』の車高と同じ直径の穴を掘るという、穴掘りゲームでよく見る定番のギミックしか思いつかなかったんですね。 今思えば、地味に掘るんじゃなくて、大きな岩盤を大胆かつ豪快に破壊しながら掘り進めたら良かったんだといまさらながら後悔しています。 『４』以降、『ドリルスラッグ』がどのような活躍をしているかは知らないのですが、ドリルの真の魅力を引き出してくれてたら嬉しいですね。 ここで、男のロマンとも言えるドリルたちの中から、 私のお気に入りを時系列順にご紹介しましょう。 1957年『地球防衛軍』 『モゲラ』 1963年『海底軍艦』 『轟天号』 1965年『サンダーバード』 『ジェットモグラ』 1967年『ウルトラセブン』 『マグマライザー』 1974年『鋼鉄ジーグ』 『マッハドリル』 1974年『ゲッターロボ』 『ゲッター2』 1974年『宇宙戦艦ヤマト』 『ドリルミサイル』 2007年『天元突破グレンラガン』『グレンラガン』 こうして、『格好良いドリル』『強いドリル』は、いつの時代でもエンタメの鉄板として、力強く回転し続けていますね。 公園の砂場で遊びたくなるのが『ジェットモグラ』、男心を鷲掴みにするのが『グレンラガン』、かつてドリルは地中に掘り進む物だったけど、いつの間にか敵を貫く物になっていました。 我が『ドリルスラッグ』もまた、メタスラファンの心を貫くために登場しましたが、時間の都合で虫を粉砕することしかできなかったのが残念です…。 『ドリルスラッグ』は、Xリンク式昇降機能でコックピットを持ち上げることができますよね？ 本当は、その機能を使ってコックピットのダメージを最小限に抑えながら、酸やマグマの海を渡る予定だったんです。 『宇宙戦艦ヤマト』が酸の海に潜ったときのように、時間との戦いで緊張感が高まる、戦略的な攻防が強いられるステージを作りたかったんです。 また、『真METAL SLUG４』では、半魚人との戦いで、バリアにより攻撃が通じない海底都市に『ドリルスラッグ』で地中から侵入し、都市の全機能をまかなうクラーケンの神経核に直結した動力炉に突っ込み、海底都市を内側から破壊する！ そんな展開もやってみたかったですね。 This is the Drill Slug that appeared in METAL SLUG 3. Drills are every man’s dream! They’re the very embodiment of masculine spirit. I had the idea of giving the Drill Slug, with its weaponized drill, a gameplay gimmick where it would do what drills do bestーdig through the ground. But back then, I couldn’t come up with anything more interesting than the obvious, and the idea was never implemented. At the time, the only idea I had was the standard gimmick you often see in digging games—drilling a hole exactly the same diameter as the Drill Slug's height. Looking back, I regret not going biggerーsmashing through huge rock formations in a bold, explosive way instead of just quietly digging. I don’t know how the Drill Slug has been used after Metal Slug 4, but I’d be happy if later entries managed to bring out the true appeal of a drill. Now, let me introduce some of my favorite drillsーtrue icons of masculine fantasyーarranged in chronological order. 1957 – The Mysterians – Moguera 1963 – Atragon – Gotengo 1965 – Thunderbirds – Mole 1967 – Ultraseven – Magmarizer 1974 – Steel Jeeg – Mach Drill 1974 – Getter Robo – Getter-2 1974 – Space Battleship Yamato – Drill Missile 2007 – Gurren Lagann – Gurren Lagann Here we areー“cool drills” and “powerful drills” have always been a staple of entertainment, spinning boldly through every era. The Jet Mole makes you want to dig in the sandbox at the park, while Gurren Lagann grabs hold of every boy’s heart. Drills used to be tools for tunneling through the earthーbut somewhere along the way, they became weapons that pierce through enemies instead. My Drill Slug, too, was meant to pierce the hearts of Metal Slug fansーbut due to time constraints, all it ever got to do was crush some bugs… What a shame. The Drill Slug is equipped with an X-linked lift mechanism that lets you raise the cockpit, right? Originally, I had planned to use that feature to minimize cockpit damage while crossing seas of acid or magma. Just like in Space Battleship Yamato when it dove into the sea of acid, I wanted to create a stage where the tension rises as you're racing against time, forced into strategic offense and defense. In True METAL SLUG 4, I also wanted to do a scenario where, during the battle against the fishmen, you’d burrow underground with the Drill Slug to infiltrate an underwater city whose barrier renders all attacks useless, then ram straight into the power core connected to the Kraken’s neural nucleus that controls the entire cityーand destroy it from the inside. That’s the kind of wild scenario I always wanted to bring to life. #METALSLUG #DrillSlug #DrillMecha #GameDev #RetroGaming #MechaDesign
