Analysis of the Longitudinal Behavior of Serum Levels of Soluble Flt1 and Placental Growth Factor in Pregnant Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study analyzed longitudinal trajectories of soluble Flt1 (sFlt1) levels, placenta growth factor (PlGF) levels, and sFlt1:PlGF ratios in a cohort of pregnant patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Blood samples were collected (14–18, 24–26, 30–32, 34–36, and 38–40 weeks), stored at −80°C, and evaluated for serum levels ...

Bioprinting Perfusable and Vascularized Skeletal Muscle Flaps for the Treatment of Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) due to trauma or surgery, often leads to physical impairments. Traditional treatments rely on autologous flaps, limited by muscle availability often leading to donor site morbidity. This study presents multimodal bioprinting as an innovative approach for fabricating vascularized muscle flaps with 3D‐printed macrovessels ...

Juvenile mucopolysaccharidosis plus disease caused by a missense mutation in VPS33A

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 2265-2278, December 2022., 2022
Abstract A rare and fatal disease resembling mucopolysaccharidosis in infants, is caused by impaired intracellular endocytic trafficking due to deficiency of core components of the intracellular membrane‐tethering protein complexes, HOPS, and CORVET. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel VPS33A mutation in a patient suffering from a variant form of

Measuring uncertainty during respiratory rate estimation using pressure-sensitive mats [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2018, 2018
We develop and evaluate a respiratory rate estimation algorithm that utilizes data from pressure-sensitive mat (PSM) technology for continuous patient monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). An analysis of the random effect of drift and systematic effect of creep in the PSM data is presented, showing that these are essentially dependent on ...

Safe recovery after cesarean in rural Africa: Technical consensus guidelines for post‐discharge care

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 160, Issue 1, Page 12-21, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite increasing cesarean rates in Africa, there remain extensive gaps in the standard provision of care after cesarean birth. We present recommendations for discharge instructions to be provided to women following cesarean delivery in Rwanda, particularly rural Rwanda, and with consideration of adaptable guidelines for sub‐Saharan Africa ...
