Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Chiari I Malformation: Review and Update of Current Treatment Options

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pathophysiology of Chiari malformation type I (CM‐I) is complex, involving structural abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction that result in herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. In this study, we aim to present and evaluate current treatment options for CM‐I, with a focus on evidence‐based clinical ...

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Maternal and Neonatal Complications Associated with Breast Cancer Systemic Treatments—A VigiBase Disproportionality Analysis Study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pregnancy‐associated breast cancer (PrBC) presents therapeutic challenges. Understanding maternal–fetal safety of systemic anticancer therapies is critical. We performed a case/non‐case disproportionality analysis using the WHO global pharmacovigilance database up to January 2024, to evaluate maternal–fetal outcomes associated with breast cancer (BC ...

Maternal Dipyrone Exposure and Risk of Major Congenital Malformations, Adverse Perinatal and Postnatal Outcomes: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pain and fever are common in pregnancy. Dipyrone is widely used in Europe, Latin America, and parts of Asia, but is banned in other countries due to concerns about agranulocytosis. Evidence on its safety in pregnancy remains limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate whether maternal dipyrone use during the first‐ and third‐trimesters is ...

Expression of mutant TIE2 p.L914F during mouse development causes embryonic lethality and defects in vascular remodeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

A report of adenocarcinoma in situ and congenital pulmonary airway malformation in a three-day-old infant with a review of the literature

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2014
Association between malignancy and congenital pulmonary airway malformation is a rare entity in childhood. Herein, we describe a three-day-old infant with respiratory distress and cystic lung lesion on her left lung.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

Loss of Twist1 leads to disruption of ciliary length, endocytic vesicle dynamics, and cell–cell junctions during neural tube formation

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Endocytosis constitutes a fundamental cellular process governing development through coordinated regulation of plasma membrane remodeling and ciliogenesis, processes essential for cell shape changes and tissue development. Although Twist1 null embryos display complete cranial neural tube (NT) closure defects and conditional knockout
