Evaluation of Scarring in Pediatrics Burns

Central Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Objective: Post-burn hypertrophic scar occurs in between 30 - 90 % of burn patients and its most common risk factor is prolonged inflammation at the wound site.

Role of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2005
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cardiovascular disease with sudden cardiac death as the most devastating presentation. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are the optimal therapy for prevention of sudden death from ventricular

Valsartan for attenuating disease evolution in early sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: the design of the Valsartan for Attenuating Disease Evolution in Early Sarcomeric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (VANISH) trial [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often caused by sarcomere gene mutations, resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), myocardial fibrosis, and increased risk of sudden cardiac death and heart failure.

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

Differences in microRNA-29 and Pro-fibrotic Gene Expression in Mouse and Human Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by myocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis. Studies in two mouse models (R92W-TnT/R403Q-MyHC) at early HCM stage revealed upregulation of endothelin (ET1) signaling in both mutants, but TGFβ ...

Hypertrophic lichen planus on lip mimicking SCC

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
The lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory and immune‐mediated disorder that can affect the hair, mucous membranes, nails, and skin. Lichen planus rarely affects the lips.

Long-term culture captures injury-repair cycles of colonic stem cells [PDF]

, 2019
The colonic epithelium can undergo multiple rounds of damage and repair, often in response to excessive inflammation. The responsive stem cell that mediates this process is unclear, in part because of a lack of in vitro models that recapitulate key ...

Increased burn healing time is associated with higher Vancouver Scar Scale score [PDF]

, 2017
Increased burn wound healing time has been shown to influence abnormal scarring. This study hypothesized that scar severity increases commensurate to the increase in time to healing (TTH) of the wound.

Diels‐Alder Click Chemistry as a Dynamic‐Covalent Crosslinking Method in Spheroid‐Encapsulating Hydrogels for Cartilage Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This research shows the development of hydrogels with Diels‐Alder click chemistry for engineering cartilage‐like tissue. The hydrogels support cartilage spheroids which could be cultured for at least 28 days. Furthermore, the spheroids showed a tendency to fuse together into a more consistent construct, and produced important components needed for ...

Self- and Goal-Directed Valsalva Maneuver vs Exercise in Eliciting Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

JACC: Advances
Background: In symptomatic patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), eliciting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is critical. A self-directed Valsalva (SDV) and exercise (EX) are frequent tools used to unmask obstruction in HCM ...
