Exhaled nitric oxide is not a biomarker for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension or for treatment efficacy

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a fatal illness. Despite many improvements in the treatment of these patients, there is no unique prognostic variable available to track these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate

Tracheal diseases: endoscopic evaluation and treatment

Pediatric Medicine, 2019
Rigid bronchoscopy has historically been introduced more than 100 years ago and has successfully passed the test of time reaching present with renewed interest and usefulness. For long time it was mainly performed for therapeutic interventions of foreign bodies removal and dilation of stenosis.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Endoscopy: Understanding Gastric Stasis, Aspiration Risk, and Contemporary Peri‐Procedural Guidance

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
Pharmacological mechanisms and physiologic effects of GLP‐1 receptor agonists relevant to peri‐endoscopic risk. ABSTRACT The global increase in obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has led to a higher use of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) among patients ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Loss of POGLUT2/3‐mediated O‐glucosylation produces lung and aortic phenotypes reminiscent of fibrillin1 mutants

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

Comparison of tracheal diameter in non-brachycephalic versus brachycephalic dogs using manubrium and thoracic inlet tracheal indexes

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionNarrowed tracheal lumen diameter (TLD) in dogs caused by congenital hypoplasia or acquired tracheal stenosis can result in adverse health effects. Standardized tracheal scores calculated from radiographic measurements have been used to assess
