Two‐Stage Treatment for Adult Large Patent Ductus Venosus
This is the first report of a two‐stage treatment for an adult large PDV involving the first stage surgical angioplasty of the large Arantius' duct and second stage embolization of the formed small Arantius' duct. The two‐stage approach could avoid embolic material migration into the systemic circulation or acute portal hypertension associated with the

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Children With 22.Q.11.2 Deletion Syndrome: Sleep‐Disordered Breathing and Management
ABSTRACT Patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) are predisposed to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to an abnormal craniofacial anatomy with pharyngeal hypotonia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and glossoptosis. The aim of the study was to describe the prevalence and management of OSA in a cohort of children with 22q11DS.

ABSTRACT NPR3‐related tall stature is characterized by tall stature, elongated big toes, and additional epiphyses in hand and foot bones. The condition is caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function variants affecting natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3). Five individuals from four different families have been reported.
