A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...

Intimal spindle cell sarcoma masquerading as adult-onset symptomatic pulmonic stenosis: a case report and review of the literature

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2017
Background Pulmonary artery intimal spindle cell sarcomas are rare and carry with them a poor prognosis and high rate of recurrence. In extremely rare cases, this tumor can infiltrate the pulmonic valve and manifest as adult-onset pulmonic stenosis. Case

Long‐Term Quality of Life in 1777 Persons With Hodgkin Lymphoma and 6166 Matched Comparators

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Survival has improved substantially for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), but long‐term quality of life (QoL) remains incompletely understood. This was a Danish, nationwide, cross‐sectional study of QoL among persons with a diagnosis of HL matched 1:10 to general population comparators.

Human gene copy number spectra analysis in congenital heart malformations [PDF]

, 2012
The clinical significance of copy number variants (CNVs) in congenital heart disease (CHD) continues to be a challenge. Although CNVs including genes can confer disease risk, relationships between gene dosage and phenotype are still being defined.

Implementation of First‐Line Rapid Genome Sequencing for Children in Pediatric and Cardiac Intensive Care Units

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Substantial data supports the use of rapid exome and genome sequencing (rES/rGS) in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), but fewer studies have examined the impact of rES/rGS in other pediatric critical care units. We evaluated the impact on diagnostic yield and time to diagnosis following a single‐center hospital policy change allowing ...

Optimizing Diagnostic Accuracy of Clinical Red Flags in RASopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT RASopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in the RAS‐mitogen‐activated protein kinase (RAS–MAPK) signaling pathway, often presenting with congenital heart defects, craniofacial dysmorphisms, and developmental delays. To assess the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in patients with suspected RASopathies and to
