Fetal Intra‐pericardial Morgagni Hernia with effusion affecting one member of a twin gestation [PDF]

, 2019
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare type of developmental defect of the diaphragm, occurring in 1 per 2000 pregnancies. Morgagni hernia, in particular, which results from an anterior defect of the diaphragm, is the least common type of CDH (5%

Heart disease in infants of diabetic mothers [PDF]

, 2000
Congenital anomalies occur more commonly in infants born to diabetic mothers, and cardiac defects predominate. Although respiratory problems are also frequently found in those infants, they need to be differentiated from cardiovascular problems that ...

A Micropeptide Component of the OGDH Complex Modulates ATP Production in the TCA Cycle

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified a mitochondrial micropeptide encoded by a non‐canonical open reading frame (alt‐ORF) within the CTSB gene. This micropeptide named APPM (ATP production‐promoting micropeptide) is a novel component of the OGDHc complex in the TCA cycle. APPM localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and directly binds to OGDH, the E1 subunit of

Maternal Exposure to Ambient Ozone and Fetal Critical Congenital Heart Disease in China: A Large Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

Toxics
The relevance of O3 exposure in critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) remains uncertain and requires further investigation. The present study aims at quantitatively assessing the association between ambient O3 exposure during the early pregnancy ...

KLF5 Downregulation Links Impaired BNIP3‐Mediated Mitophagy to Inflammatory Valve Remodeling in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In human CAVD, KLF5 is reduced in VIC‐rich regions and remodeling/stress‐associated VIC states. In VICs, KLF5 sustains BNIP3 promoter activity and BNIP3‐mediated mitophagy, thereby limiting cytosolic mtDNA accumulation. KLF5 loss weakens mitochondrial quality control and enhances mtDNA‐sensitive STING/NF‐κB/NLRP3 inflammatory signaling under osteogenic

SerpinA3 is an Endogenous TGF‐β Receptor Antagonist that Attenuates Cardiac Fibroblast Activation and Fibrotic Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SerpinA3 acts as an endogenous TGF‐β receptor antagonist that binds to the extracellular domain of TGFR‐1, thereby preventing TGFR‐1–TGFR‐2 complex formation. This receptor‐level blockade suppresses TGF‐β/Smad2/3 signaling, attenuates cardiac fibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix deposition, and ultimately alleviates pressure overload–induced

Case Report: Multimodality imaging of a bronchogenic cyst in the interatrial septum

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts (IBCs) are very rare. To date, only a few cases of IBC have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a bronchogenic cyst that arose from the interatrial septum in a 42-year-old man who presented with symptoms ...

Early Fetal Echocardiography

, 2015
Within the last decade, two significant events have contributed to the increasing interest in early fetal echocardiography. First, the introduction of high-frequency vaginal ultrasound probes allows detailed visualization of cardiac structures at early ...
