PFO Closure: CLOSURE [PDF]

Stroke, 2013
The optimal secondary prevention strategy in patients presenting with a cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is uncertain. In the United States, closure of a PFO using a percutaneous transcatheter device is currently considered investigational by the Food and Drug Administration.

Mitochondrial iron overload mediated by cooperative transfer of plasma membrane ATP5B and TFR2 to mitochondria triggers hepatic insulin resistance under PFOS exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
In general populations, insulin resistance (IR) is related to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a persistent organic pollutant. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, PFOS induced mitochondrial iron accumulation in the liver of

Developmental toxicity and alteration of gene expression in zebrafish embryos exposed to PFOS

, 2008
Perfluorooetanesulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant, the potential toxicity of which is causing great concern. In the present study, we employed zebrafish embryos to investigate the developmental toxicity of this compound.

Maternal concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and duration of breastfeeding

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) has been associated with impaired lactation in mice. We examined whether maternal perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and PFOA concentrations correlated with duration of breastfeeding among women.

Hazards of percutaneous PFO closure [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2005
Please see the article by Christen et al. (doi: 10.1016/j.euje.2005.08.002 ) to which this editorial pertains. In 2004, an estimated 2000–3000 patients underwent percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Given the range of potential indications (such as prevention of cryptogenic stroke, decompression illness in divers, platypnea ...
