Poland Anomaly and Atretic Cephalocele in the Same Child: Coincidence or Association?

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poland Anomaly is a rare congenital disorder typically characterized by hypoplasia or agenesis of pectoral muscle with or without ipsilateral limb hypoplasia. The association of central nervous system malformation with Poland Anomaly has been rarely reported and includes craniofacial dysplasia, microcephaly, and Dandy‐Walker malformation ...

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

An optimized perfusate for enhanced rat ex vivo lung perfusion and lung transplant models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We explored a low‐cost and efficient perfusate composition for use in rat ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) and lung transplant models. This perfusate demonstrates better biocompatibility, likely due to a reduction in immune responses associated with high doses of xenogenic proteins, resulting in less lung injury posttransplantation.

Surgical Methods and Devices for Atrial Fibrillation

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
As technology advances, surgical approaches for atrial fibrillation have diversified. Surgical treatments include Cox-Maze surgery, left atrial appendage occlusion, or closure using a clip. Cox-Maze surgery removes excessive cardiac electrical conduction

Morphological and functional parameters of left atrial appendage play a greater role in atrial fibrillation relapse after radiofrequency ablation

Scientific Reports, 2020
This study was to quantitatively investigate the role of morphological and functional parameters of the left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) with 256-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) in the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after ...

Changes in hemodynamics of pulmonary artery using Flowire in a canine model of acute pulmonary thromboembolism

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study investigated changes in pulmonary artery hemodynamics using a Flowire catheter and evaluated the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography in dogs with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Ten healthy beagles were anesthetized, and acute pulmonary hypertension (PH) was induced by injecting 300‐μm dextran microspheres.
