Targeting interleukin-1β protects from aortic aneurysms induced by disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling [PDF]

, 2017
Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions with effective treatments mainly limited to emergency surgery or trans-arterial endovascular stent grafts, thus calling for the identification of specific molecular targets.

Artificial Intelligence Software Changes Rare Disease Testing Strategy in Real Time: An International Case Series Using Face2Gene

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic disorders commonly share features such as developmental delays, cognitive impairment, and behavioral challenges, yet many conditions also present unique dysmorphic features that distinguish them. Performing a thorough medical and family history and a detailed physical exam with attention to dysmorphic features is often the first step ...

Direct access of ascending aorta for endograft delivery in the descending thoracic aorta

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020
First-line therapy for aneurysm, dissection, or rupture of the descending thoracic aorta is now by the endovascular approach. Retrograde insertion of the endograft, through access from the femoral arteries, is the preferred approach. This case presents a

Automated tracking of a passive intramyocardial needle with off-resonance MRI: a feasibility study [PDF]

, 2008
Direct intramyocardial therapies aimed at treating myocardial regions affected by severe ischemia may benefit from CMR-guided interventional procedures. Although interventional MR approaches using active devices are considered to be the method of choice,

Management of Cardiovascular Health Issues in Turner Syndrome: Expert Insights and Expanded Recommendations From the 2024 Guideline Development Team

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome (TS) is frequently complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). While left‐sided lesions such as bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta are the most common structural heart lesions in TS, other anomalies, such as aortic arch malformations, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), persistent left superior vena

SOX6 enhances vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sox6 expression is elevated in hypertensive conditions and promotes vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching through autophagy activation. Using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches both in vitro and in vivo, we demonstrate that Sox6 regulates blood pressure and vascular remodeling, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target for ...
