American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) and dermatologic conditions such as lymphedema and acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) are common in Turner Syndrome (TS). We hypothesized that abnormalities of cranial neural crest cell derivatives drive the skin and heart manifestations of TS. We conducted joint cardiac and skin examinations of volunteers at a 2023

Effects of nesfatin-1 on atrial contractility and thoracic aorta reactivity in male rats
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2018 Background: This study aimed to examine the effects of nesfatin-1 on thoracic aorta vasoreactivity and to investigate the inotropic and chronotropic effects of nesfatin-1 on the spontaneous contractions of the isolated rat atria.

Early sternal erosion and luetic aneurysms of thoracic aorta: report of 6 cases and analysis of cause-effect relationship [PDF]
, 2005 Six patients with luetic aneurysm of the ascending aorta eroding the sternum are presented. The erosion was an early and principal presentation and the site of erosion and location and morphology of aneurysm were identical in all six patients.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive multisystem involvement. Gain‐of‐function missense heterozygous variants affecting the Ile500 residue and Arg496 residue of the SMAD4 gene are implicated in this condition.

Giant thoracic aneurysm associated with coarctation of the aorta [PDF]
, 1998 A 39-year-old male with low back pain, fatigue, and nausea of 2 years duration was referred with a suspected mass in the left lung. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a giant aneurysm associated with a coarctation of the descending

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows the evaluation of lungs that do not meet standard transplantation criteria. Current procedures do not permit the identification of regional functional deficits. We investigated the feasibility of assessing lobar gas exchange during EVLP in a swine model.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.We report a novel embolus‐induced PE rat model prepared via the inferior vena cava under ultrasound guidance. The embolus employed featured a tubular plastic casing filled with thrombus. By minimizing the contact surface between plasmin and thrombus, it effectively restrains the elevated plasmin activity in rats.

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.
