The normal ranges of cardiovascular parameters measured using the ultrasonic cardiac output monitor [PDF]
The ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM) is a noninvasive transcutaneous continuous wave Doppler method for assessing hemodynamics. There are no published reference ranges for normal values in adults (aged 18– 60 years) for this device.

AP2M1 Is a Candidate Gene for Microcephaly and Intellectual Disability in 3q27.1 Deletions
ABSTRACT Deletions of the 3q26.33q27.2 region appear to correlate with a distinct phenotype, although there are few reported cases. Here, we present seven previously unreported individuals carrying de novo 3q27 deletions (under 5 Mb), which include the AP2M1 (adaptor‐related protein complex 2, mu‐1 subunit) gene and summarize data from 12 previously ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.

ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal defects and immunodeficiency syndrome 1 (GIDID1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic variants in TTC7A. GIDID1 is characterized by a broad clinical spectrum ranging from very early‐onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD) to multiple intestinal atresia (MIA) with or without immunological manifestations.

Echocardiographic evaluation of velocity ratio, velocity time integral ratio, and pulmonary valve area in dogs with pulmonary valve stenosis. [PDF]
BackgroundVelocity ratio, velocity time integral (VTI) ratio, and pulmonary valve area indexed to body surface area (iPVA) are methods of assessment of pulmonary valve stenosis (PS) severity that are less dependent on blood flow. Studies evaluating these

Mathematical modeling of thrombus formation in idealized models of aortic dissection: Initial findings and potential applications [PDF]
Aortic dissection is a major aortic catastrophe with a high morbidity and mortality risk caused by the formation of a tear in the aortic wall. The development of a second blood filled region defined as the “false lumen” causes highly disturbed flow ...
