How to facilitate ultrasound examination of the fetal heart: the 5‐4‐3‐2‐1 method
ABSTRACT We propose a new standardized, systematic method of fetal cardiac screening, the step‐by‐step ‘5‐4‐3‐2‐1’ method. This method is based on understanding the cardiac structures through a process of navigating between the different recommended views during an abdominothoracic sweep, following a user‐friendly checklist to identify the main ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

Abstract Background and Purpose Noise pollution, particularly by aircraft, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Aircraft noise activates stress response pathways in the brain, via the amygdala, the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.

Outcomes and re-interventions after one-stage repair of transposition of great arteries and aortic arch obstruction [PDF]
Objectives: One-stage repair of transposition of great arteries (TGA) and aortic arch obstruction (AAO) is currently advocated, but carries formidable surgical challenges. This report presents our experience and re-interventions for residual lesions over

Concurrent validity and agreement of Bayley‐4, AIMS, and HINE assessments in 1‐year‐old children
In this cross‐sectional study of children around 1‐year‐old, the Bayley‐4 showed concurrent validity and moderate to substantial agreement with the AIMS and the HINE in both clinical and home settings. Abstract Aim To examine concurrent validity between the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition (Bayley‐4) gross motor subtest ...

Summary Gastroduodenal ulcer disease with secondary stricture formation of the proximal duodenum and portal gas accumulation is described in a neonatal foal. Conventional diagnostics were performed to reach a diagnosis, including gastroscopy, ultrasonography and positive contrast radiography. In addition, a post‐mortem CT was acquired with the contrast

Cyclin‐dependent kinase 13 is indispensable for normal mouse heart development
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common defect in live births. The role of cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK13) in cardiogenesis and CHD was studied using a transgenic mouse model (Cdk13tm1b) carrying deletion of exons 3 and 4, causing loss of function.

Background Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in adults is rare. usually combined with dilatation of the ascending aorta. Further disease progression complicated by hematoma or dissection of the ascending aorta is even more complicated and dangerous.
