TRIM4 is associated with neural tube defects based on genome-wide DNA methylation analysis

Clinical Epigenetics, 2019
Background Neural tube defects (NTDs) are complex abnormalities associated with gene-environment interactions. The underlying cause has not been determined. Methods Spinal cord tissues from cases with NTDs and healthy controls were collected. Methylation

Surgical Ventricular Septal Defect Repair

JACC: Case Reports
Ventricular septal defects (VSDs), the most common of congenital heart defects, vary widely in anatomy and size. Surgical treatment of very large VSDs can be challenging because no clear recommendations exist about which defects can undergo biventricular

ApoM maintains cellular homeostasis between mitophagy and apoptosis by affecting the stability of Nnt mRNA through the Zic3-ApoM-Elavl2-Nnt axis during neural tube closure

Cell Death and Disease
Research on the aetiology of neural tube defects (NTDs) has made progress in recent years. However, the molecular mechanism of apolipoproteins underlying NTDs development remains unclear.

A novel three-dimensional echocardiographic method for device size selection in patients undergoing ASD trans-catheter closure

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2019
Background Proper device size selection is a crucial step for successful ASD device closure. The current gold standard for device size selection is balloon sizing. Balloon sizing can be tedious, time consuming and increase fluoroscopy and procedure times
