Short-term effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists on fat distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an ultrasonography study [PDF]
AIMS:Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) induce weight loss and reduction in adipose tissue, but the effects of GLP-1 RA on the distribution of fat deposits have been poorly investigated. METHODS: In 25 patients with type 2 diabetes (16

Isolation of equine endothelial cells and life cell angiogenesis assay [PDF]
Arterial or venous thromboses are frequent clinical complications with the risk of fatal progression. Recent studies suggest the disruption of angiogenesis in the course of thrombus resolution as the underlying pathomechanism.

The Association between Fetal Renal Artery Doppler Flow with Hourly Urine Output and Amniotic Fluid Volume of Fetuses with a Gestational Age of 30 to 34 Weeks [PDF]
Background: The present study investigated the association between fetal renal artery Doppler flow, hourly urine output, and amniotic fluid volume in fetuses with a gestational age of 30 to 34 weeks in normal pregnancies.

Abstract Rationale: The umbilical cord is the way to exchange gas, supply nutrients, excrete metabolized. Thrombosis of the umbilical cord leads to fetal hypoxia, which jeopardizes fetal health and can cause fetal death. Umbilical vessel thrombosis, which is rarely reported, is difficult to detect prenatally.

Comparing placentas from normal and abnormal pregnancies [PDF]
This report describes work carried out at a Mathematics-in-Medicine Study Group. It is believed that placenta shape villous network characteristics are strongly linked to the placenta’s efficiency, and hence to pregnancy outcome.

Thrombocytopenia in Preterm Infants with Intrauterine Growth Restriction [PDF]
Sick preterm infants often have thrombocytopenia at birth, and this is often associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), or birth weights less than the 10th percentile.

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling
Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...

Herniation of the appendix into the umbilical cord complicating umbilical vessel cannulation
Umbilical catheters (UC) have become the most common way to access neonatal veins and arteries especially after the increasing the number of preterm newborns. Significant clinical complications have been reported with this increased usage of UC.

Blood flow-induced Notch activation and endothelial migration enable vascular remodeling in zebrafish embryos. [PDF]
Arteries and veins are formed independently by different types of endothelial cells (ECs). In vascular remodeling, arteries and veins become connected and some arteries become veins. It is unclear how ECs in transforming vessels change their type and how
