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

Cap‐oPMN: Oral Inflammatory Load Quantification Using Capillary Microfluidics and Automated Image Processing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quantifying oral polymorphonuclear neutrophils (oPMNs) is a clinically validated approach for assessing periodontal inflammation. However, current methods, such as manual hemocytometry and flow cytometry, are time‐consuming (>3 h), require invasive sampling, and depend on staining and complex instrumentation, making them unsuitable for point ...

THE 17-HYDROXYPROGESTERONE LEVEL, ANDROSTENEDIONE LEVEL, AND SIDE EFFECTPOST HYDROCORTISONE THERAPY OF CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA PATIENTS [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is the most common 46,XX DSDs, which occurred when one of the enzymes required for cortisol and aldosterone synthesis in adrenal gland is deficit, therefore performed adrenal hormone imbalance.

SRD5A3 is required for converting polyprenol to dolichol and is mutated in a congenital glycosylation disorder. [PDF]

, 2010
N-linked glycosylation is the most frequent modification of secreted and membrane-bound proteins in eukaryotic cells, disruption of which is the basis of the congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs).

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

ELABELA Targets Mitochondria to Modulate Heart Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The role of peptide ELABELA (ELA) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. ELA deficiency caused cardiomyocyte apoptosis and CHD. A novel ELA‐APJ‐AKT‐BCL2/BAX axis in regulating mitochondrial function and contributing to CHD pathogenesis was established.
