Secondary cytotoxicity of (crosslinked) dermal sheep collagen during repeated exposure to human fibroblasts [PDF]

, 1992
We investigated commercially available dermal sheep collagen either cross-linked with hexamethylenediisocyanate, or cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. In previous in vitro studies we could discriminate primary, i.e. extractable, and secondary cytotoxicity,

Mortality Patterns and Phenotypic Clusters in Trisomy 13: A Population‐Based Study From Japan

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trisomy 13, the third most common autosomal trisomy after trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, is associated with a significantly high infant mortality rate. However, large‐scale studies examining causes of death in trisomy 13 remain scarce. Therefore, we aimed to better understand the mortality patterns.

Epicardial Ablation: Prevention of Phrenic Nerve Damage by Pericardial Injection of Saline and the Use of a Steerable Sheath

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
Because of the close proximity of the phrenic nerve to the pericardium, phrenic nerve damage caused by epicardial ablation can easily occur. We report two cases of epicardial VT ablation where pericardial injection of saline, combined with the use of a ...

A bioprinted cardiac patch composed of cardiac-specific extracellular matrix and progenitor cells for heart repair [PDF]

, 2018
Congenital heart defects are present in 8 of 1000 newborns and palliative surgical therapy has increased survival. Despite improved outcomes, many children develop reduced cardiac function and heart failure requiring transplantation.

Variant Update on ASCC1: Characterization of the First Homozygous Missense Variant Involved in Prenatal‐Onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy With Congenital Bone Fractures 2

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2 is a rare and severe autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ASCC1. This condition characterized by prenatal onset of severe hypotonia with fetal hypokinesia and congenital contractures results in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, and increased ...

The Diagnosis That Arrived Decades Late: Living Without and Then With Myhre Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MIM #139210) is a rare multisystem disorder first described in 1981, characterized by short stature, neurodevelopmental delay, joint contractures, and cardiopulmonary complications. Its molecular basis, recurrent pathogenic variants in SMAD4, was not discovered until 2011. This narrative is based on a review of medical records,

Oral bacterial DNA findings in pericardial fluid

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2014
Background: We recently reported that large amounts of oral bacterial DNA can be found in thrombus aspirates of myocardial infarction patients. Some case reports describe bacterial findings in pericardial fluid, mostly done with conventional culturing ...

Descriptive Epidemiology From the Myhre Syndrome Foundation Registry: The Value of Self‐Reported Data

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome is an ultrarare genetic disease characterized by short stature, distinct craniofacial features, cardiovascular and respiratory fibrosis and stenosis, neurodevelopmental delays, autism, intellectual disability, and hearing loss. The natural history of Myhre syndrome is still not fully understood due to a small patient population ...
