Tbx20 Is Required in Mid-Gestation Cardiomyocytes and Plays a Central Role in Atrial Development. [PDF]

, 2018
RationaleMutations in the transcription factor TBX20 (T-box 20) are associated with congenital heart disease. Germline ablation of Tbx20 results in abnormal heart development and embryonic lethality by embryonic day 9.5.

Pentoxifylline dose finding trial in preterm neonates with suspected late onset sepsis (PTX‐trial)

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim The aim of this study (PTX‐trial) is to determine the optimal dose of pentoxifylline (PTX) in preterm neonates (gestational age < 30 weeks) with (suspected) late onset sepsis (LONS). Methods The PTX‐trial is a prospective multicentre open‐label sequential dose‐optimization study with an adapted continual reassessment method.

Percutaneous Management of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in an Adult Patient After Atrial Switch: A Case for Targeted Infundibular Ablation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alcohol septal ablation is a well‐established treatment method for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We present a case report of a patient with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after a Mustard procedure, who developed significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO), functionally resembling subaortic stenosis ...
