Ambient air pollution and congenital heart defects in Lanzhou, China

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Congenital heart defects are the most prevalent type of birth defects. The association of air pollution with congenital heart defects is not well understood. We investigated a cohort of 8969 singleton live births in Lanzhou, China during 2010–2012. Using

Metabolic alterations in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells treated with PDGF‐BB

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Metabolic abnormalities are considered to play a key regulatory role in vascular remodeling of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We analyzed the metabolome in the culture supernatants of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) during the malignant proliferation phenotype transition via a targeted metabolomics method. Significant and extensive

Gene Therapy Using Recombinant AAV Type 8 Vector Encoding TNAP‐D10 Improves the Skeletal Phenotypes in Murine Models of Osteomalacia

JBMR Plus, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP), caused by loss‐of‐function mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), is characterized by skeletal and dental hypomineralization that can vary in severity from life‐threatening to milder manifestations only in adulthood.

A Transfer Learning Causal Approach to Evaluate Racial/Ethnic and Geographic Variation in Outcomes Following Congenital Heart Surgery [PDF]

arXiv
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most prevalent birth defects in the United States and surgical outcomes vary considerably across the country. The outcomes of treatment for CHD differ for specific patient subgroups, with non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations experiencing higher rates of mortality and morbidity.

Transcatheter closure of Ventricular Septal defects in Malta : initial experience [PDF]

, 2005
Ventricular septal defects (VSD) consist of deficiencies of the wall separating the two ventricles. VSDs are the commonest congenital cardiac defects. Small VSDs rarely require intervention, however, larger defects cause ventricular volume overload with ...

Long‐Term Safety and Efficacy of Mepolizumab in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare, relapsing, inflammatory disease. Management of EGPA predominantly relies on oral corticosteroids (OCS), which are associated with many adverse effects. The Phase III MIRRA trial demonstrated efficacy and safety of mepolizumab, anti‐interleukin‐5 biologic, for EGPA.

Exposure to pseudoephedrine during pregnancy and major congenital malformations: Findings from a large population‐based cohort of pregnancies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to assess the risk of major congenital malformations following first‐trimester pseudoephedrine (PSE) exposure. Methods A population‐based observational cohort study was conducted on pregnancies of women aged 15–49 years, insured by Clalit Health Services in southern Israel, who gave birth or had elective ...

Geodesic-based Predictive Shape Modeling on Right Ventricles of Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome [PDF]

arXiv
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital defect in which right ventricle (RV) shape changes over time in response to altered loading conditions as adaptations to patient's single ventricle physiology. The RV shape can be considered as a co-indicator of the severity of underlying tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation in HLHS, thus the ...
