Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Premature ventricular contractions as a side effect of filgrastim in a child with B-thalassaemia
Premature ventricular contractions are a rare side effect of filgrastim, reported mainly in elderly men. Here we report the case of a 9-year-old child with thalassaemia who developed frequent premature ventricular contractions after three doses of ...

Association of N-Terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide with Ventricular Ectopy
Objective: This study aimed to determine the association of premature ventricular contractions burden of less than 20% with NT-pro BNP levels in patients with preserved left ventricular function. Study Design: Case control analytical study.

Expanded Phenotype Associated With an Intronic PPP1R12A Variant: A Case Report and Literature Review
ABSTRACT Autosomal dominant PPP1R12A‐related genitourinary and/or brain malformation syndrome is a recently described multisystem disorder caused by loss‐of‐function variants in the protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 12a (PPP1R12A) gene. To date, 22 affected individuals have been reported with variable brain malformations and genitourinary ...

Frequent premature ventricular contractions and cardiomyopathy, chicken and egg situation
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are usually regarded as benign in the absence of structural heart disease. However, frequent PVCs can lead to depressed LV function, called PVC-induced cardiomyopathy and can be reversible after suppression of ...

We established a model of progressive pulmonary fibrosis via repeated intratracheal instillation (ITI) of leomycin (BLM) (A). Perivascular remodeling was observed in areas distant from the fibrotic areas and lesions induced by repeated ITI of BLM simulate those observed in IPF patients (B). Thus, this model has the capacity to track and investigate the

Think SCN5A: A novel variant causing multifocal Purkinje PVCs and dilated cardiomyopathy
Background: Multifocal ectopic Purkinje-related premature contractions (MEPPC) represent a rare SCN5A-associated channelopathy characterized by high-burden, multifocal premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) arising from the His–Purkinje system, often ...

A rhesus macaque model of α‐dystroglycanopathy caused by a POMT1 splice altering variant
Rhesus macaques homozygous for a naturally occurring spice altering variant in the POMT1 gene develop lissencephaly, microphthalmia, and muscular contracture. The presentation models severe presentation of the human Walker‐Warburg syndrome. Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in genes associated with α‐dystroglycan glycosylation manifest in a ...

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome presenting with ventricular bigeminy
The is a case of a 28-year-old male presenting to an emergency department (ED) via emergency medical services (EMS) with a chief complaint of “gastritis.” He was noted to have bigeminy on the pre-arrival EMS electrocardiogram. He was ultimately diagnosed
