Morphometrical features of left atrial appendage in the atrial fibrillation patients subjected to left atrial appendage closure

Folia Morphologica, 2023
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the morphometrical features of left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with atrial fibrillation, subjected to LAA percutaneous closure (LARIAT) for stroke prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Computed tomography (CT)

Genetic and Phenotypic Features of the Five Known Polyaminopathies: A Critical Narrative Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyaminopathies are a recently described family of rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. Polyaminopathies disrupt the biosynthesis of the primary polyamines: putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Snyder–Robinson syndrome results from hemizygous loss‐of‐function variants in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, resulting in decreased or ...

KDM2B‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder A Case‐Series Supporting the CxxC Domain Phenotype With Emphasis on Ocular and Dermatologic Features

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The KDM2B‐related neurodevelopmental disorder is a recently identified Mendelian disorder of the epigenetic machinery associated with pathogenic variants in KDM2B. Global developmental delay, intellectual disability, congenital anomalies, and systemic manifestations characterize the disorder.

Comparative evaluation of single‐artery cannulation with passive venous drainage versus traditional dual‐cannula ex vivo lung perfusion in a rat model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared a simplified rat ex vivo lung perfusion model with single‐artery inflow and passive vein drainage to the traditional dual‐catheter closed‐loop system. Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a critical technique for lung preservation and evaluation prior to transplantation.

Systematic review on left atrial appendage closure with the LAmbre device in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Percutaneous closure (LAAC) of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an efficacious preventive procedure for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and considerable bleeding risk.

Acute Formation of Thrombus on a Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device Immediately After Detachment

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Clots can form on the left atrial surface of left atrial appendage closure devices, with subsequent thromboembolization. However, we are unaware of any reports of clots forming on the devices immediately after deployment.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia Have Distinct Prediagnostic Blood Biochemical Profiles

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Identifying modifiable factors influencing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) risk is important for prevention. Blood biomarkers, particularly cholesterol, have been associated with neurodegenerative risk, but findings in ALS are inconsistent, and data on FTD are limited.

Choosing Appropriate Candidates for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one the most prevalent arrhythmias globally and is associated with a significantly higher risk of morbidity and mortality, including an up to five-fold increase in risk of stroke. While oral anticoagulation therapy remains the
