New biosensors and transgenic mice for multiplex cGMP imaging
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a versatile second messenger that is important for human (patho‐)physiology and pharmacotherapy. Live‐cell imaging of cGMP with biosensors allows to elucidate its spatiotemporal dynamics in real time under close‐to‐native conditions. However, to monitor two separate cGMP pools or cGMP/cAMP

Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

Periodontal and orthodontic management of impacted canines
Abstract The maxillary and mandibular canines are described by many clinicians as the “cornerstone” of the arch. When in their optimal position, they play a critical role in providing a well‐balanced occlusal scheme that contributes toward functional as well as neuromuscular stability, harmony, esthetics, and dentofacial balance.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Treatment Methods in Achondroplasia: A Review
Achondroplasia (ACH) is a disease caused by a missense mutation in the FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) gene, which is the most common cause of short stature in humans.

ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the metacarpophalangeal pattern profile (MCPP) of healthy children and adolescents from São Paulo, Brazil, and to establish percentile curves by chronological age (CA), bone age (BA), and sex using the LMS method. Additionally, to compare these findings with previous population‐based data and to apply the derived ...

ABSTRACT Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a rare skeletal dysplasia caused by pathogenic variants in the FGFR3 gene. We hypothesized that the relative disproportion between head circumference and height in HCH might be diagnostically informative and generated a simple index of head‐stature disproportion to help pediatricians diagnose HCH.

Achondroplasia in the Premature Infant: An Elusive Diagnosis in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Achondroplasia is a difficult prenatal diagnosis to make before the late second and third trimester. We describe two cases where an infant was born prematurely with no overt signs of achondroplasia. Despite multiple chest and abdominal radiographs during

ABSTRACT Population‐specific thresholds have not been defined for the levels of adiposity and systemic biomarkers that predict chronic health risks in people with restricted growth conditions. Here, anthropometric measures of adiposity, basal metabolic requirements, and fasted blood samples were obtained from adults with restricted growth (age 41 ± 14 ...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of prenatal exome sequencing (ES) integrated with copy number variant (CNV) and single nucleotide variant (SNV) analysis (ES‐CNV/SNV) in fetuses with structural anomalies following negative chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and karyotyping, and to delineate the practical challenges encountered ...
