Peripheral pulmonary stenosis with Noonan syndrome treated by balloon pulmonary angioplasty
Noonan syndrome is known to have various cardiovascular defects, which include pulmonary artery stenosis. Pulmonary artery stenosis is characterized by obstruction of pulmonary artery blood flow that can cause elevated pulmonary artery pressure and ...

The IkB kinase inhibitor nuclear factor-kB essential modulator–binding domain peptide for inhibition of balloon injury-induced neointimal formation [PDF]
Objective—The activation of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) is a crucial step in the arterial wall’s response to injury. The identification and characterization of the NF-kB essential modulator– binding domain (NBD) peptide, which can block the activation of

Feasibility and performance of a device for automatic self-detection of symptomatic acute coronary artery occlusion in outpatients with coronary artery disease : a multicentre observational study [PDF]
Background Time delay between onset of symptoms and seeking medical attention is a major determinant of mortality and morbidity in patients with acute coronary artery occlusion. Response time might be reduced by reliable self-detection.
