Marfan Syndrome Associated With Intellectual Disability and Behavioral Anomalies: Further Evidence for the Effect of Compound Heterozygous Variants in FBN1 on Phenotypic Severity

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by involvement of the cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal systems. Pathogenic variants in FBN1 cause most of the MFS cases; however, intellectual disability (ID) is rarely observed. A non‐consanguineous Pakistani family with four affected individuals was recruited.

ZSF1 lean rats – How healthy are they?

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aimed to examine the health status, specifically the physiology and myocardial, vascular, and skeletal muscle function of lean ZSF1 rats by comparing them to age‐ and sex‐matched Wistar rats. Compared to Wistar controls, ZSF1 lean rats exhibited lower body weight, but showed increased heart, and skeletal muscle mass.

Combined Aortic Root Replacement and Heart Transplantation in a Patient with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Aortic Root Aneurysm

International Journal of Organ Transplantation Medicine, 2018
Concomitant replacement of the ascending aorta and heart transplantation are an infrequent procedure. This procedure was most often performed in patients with Marfan syndrome, however, it has its own technical difficulties.

Differences in the Thoracic Aorta by Region and Sex in a Murine Model of Marfan Syndrome

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a hereditary disorder of the connective tissue that causes life-threatening aortic aneurysm, which initiates at the aortic root and can progress into the ascending portion.

Comprehending the Membrane Properties for Emulation in Organs‐on‐a‐Chip

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The advent of organ‐on‐chip models allows closer emulation of in vivo conditions, leading to effective, less costly, and specific drugs. Although a number of membrane‐based on‐chip models exist, better emulating functional models need to be devised for organ simulations.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Marfan’s syndrome with aneurysmal formation of the aortic root and ascending aorta concomitant with aortic valve regurgitation of patients undergoing Bentall operation: the first two cases in southern Thailand

Journal of Health Science and Medical Research (JHSMR), 2004
The aorta is considered as pathologically dilated when the diameter of the aortic root and ascending aorta exceed the normal for a given age and body size.

Does salinity make a difference—Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

King Aorta: Narrative anatomy education

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 264-276, March 2025.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of narrative anatomy education and traditional anatomy education on academic achievement. The study included 64 students who were randomly divided into two groups. The two groups were (n = 32) control (Group 1) and (n = 32) experimental (Group 2). The pretest scores of the two groups were 36.
