Increased prevalence of potential right-to-left shunting in children with sickle cell anaemia and stroke [PDF]

, 2017
'Paradoxical' embolization via intracardiac or intrapulmonary right-to-left shunts (RLS) is an established cause of stroke. Hypercoagulable states and increased right heart pressure, which both occur in sickle cell anaemia (SCA), predispose to ...

Fetal Ductal Constriction, Pulmonary Hypertension and Atrial Septum Mobility

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Fetuses with ductal constriction (FDC), pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload after maternal exposure to PGE2 inhibitors—nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or polyphenols (PF)—have increased septum primum excursion index (SPEI), the ratio between maximal septum primum displacement and left atrial diameter.

Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Thoracic Abnormalities

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to identify the imaging findings specifically for thoracic anomalies in 1200 Micro‐CT cases, independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death. Method We analyzed 1200 Micro‐CT scans in an unselected, consecutive cohort between 2017 and 2024 to identify thoracic anomalies ...

The Sooner, the Better: Neuroprotective Strategies in Fetuses With Congenital Heart Disease

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent congenital malformation at birth and is associated with neurodevelopmental impairments. Alterations in cardiovascular physiology can lead to reduced cerebral blood perfusion and oxygenation, which negatively affects brain growth and maturation.

CRPPA exon 6–9 deletion as a founder mutation in Chinese patients with dystroglycanopathy

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Analysis of sixteen Chinese dystroglycanopathy patients reveals a founder mutation (CRPPA exon 6–9 deletion) in 25% of cases and expands the phenotypic spectrum from severe muscle‐eye‐brain disease to limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy. ABSTRACT Importance Dystroglycanopathies (DGPs) are a group of muscular dystrophies with abnormal glycosylation of ...
