Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Electrocardiographic and Skin Manifestations of Turner Syndrome: Association With Cardiovascular Disease

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital heart disease (CHD) and dermatologic conditions such as lymphedema and acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN) are common in Turner Syndrome (TS). We hypothesized that abnormalities of cranial neural crest cell derivatives drive the skin and heart manifestations of TS. We conducted joint cardiac and skin examinations of volunteers at a 2023

An Adult Presentation of KIF11‐Related MCLID Syndrome: Case Report and 40‐Year Follow‐Up

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF11 are linked to autosomal dominant syndromes with microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, and intellectual disability (MCLID), though adult presentations remain underreported. We report a 42‐year‐old female presenting with a de novo single‐amino acid in‐frame deletion in the KIF11 gene (c.1294_1296del; p ...
