Identification of Autologous Tissue Sources and Optimization of a Treatment Method for Intraoperative Manufacturing of Heart Valve Constructs

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
The use of autologous connective tissue, such as pericardium or peritoneum, combined with controlled tissue treatment, has the potential to result in a more durable heart valve prosthesis than current commercial prostheses. ABSTRACT Introduction Valvular heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Current biological and mechanical

Homozygous Loss‐of‐Function Variant in SLC20A1 Coding for Ubiquitous Phosphate Transporter PiT1 Is Associated With Multiple Developmental Abnormalities

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Biallelic SLC20A1 loss‐of‐function variant causes a previously unrecognized multisystem developmental disorder. We report the first homozygous case presenting with tetralogy of Fallot, renal agenesis, polydactyly, and growth impairment. Transcriptome analysis of patient‐derived fibroblasts suggests significant dysregulation of pathways critical for ...

Use of a 3D‐printed custom‐designed tracheostomy tube to stabilise a permanent tracheostoma in a 25‐year‐old Icelandic mare

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 25‐year‐old Icelandic mare diagnosed with bilateral temporohyoid‐osteoarthropathy, moderate pharyngeal instability and bilateral laryngeal paralysis was presented because of intermittent stridor and dyspnoea worsening during exercise. As a previous ceratohyoidectomy had not improved these symptoms substantially, a permanent tracheostomy was ...
