Neural Plasticity and Hearing‐Speech Development in Children with Auditory Brainstem Implants for Congenital Hearing Loss Due to Severe Inner Ear Malformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Data from a prospective cohort with 112 auditory brainstem implant users are analyzed. Younger age at implantation (<3 years), less severe inner‐ear malformation (common cavity, cochlear aplasia, and hypoplasia), and more intraoperative eABR evoked electrodes (≥60%) are associated with better hearing and speech outcomes.

The role of the right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2011
Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right ventricular function, and right heart failure is the main cause of death in

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

A rare homozygous missense GDF2 (BMP9) mutation causing PAH in siblings: Does BMP10 status contribute?

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 228-233, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease characterized by pathological remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature causing elevated pulmonary artery pressures and ultimately, right ventricular failure from chronic pressure overload. Heterozygous pathogenic GDF2 (encoding bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9)) variants account for some (>1%)

Deep phenotyping of cardiac function in heart transplant patients using cardiovascular systems models [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Heart transplant patients are followed with periodic right heart catheterizations (RHCs) to identify post-transplant complications and guide treatment. Post-transplant positive outcomes are associated with a steady reduction of right ventricular and pulmonary arterial pressures, toward normal levels of right-side pressure (about 20mmHg) measured by RHC.

Anticipatory banking of samples enables diagnosis of adenylosuccinase deficiency following molecular autopsy in an infant with vacuolating leukoencephalopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 234-237, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Adenylosuccinase deficiency is a rare inborn error of metabolism. We present a newborn who died at 52 days of age with clinical features suggestive of severe epileptic encephalopathy and leukodystrophy of unknown cause. Post‐mortem examination showed an unusual vacuolar appearance of the brain.

Extreme exertion and right ventricular function

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1990
The authors propose that disproportionate increases in right and left ventricular afterload during and immediately after extreme exertion account for the apparent differences in ventricular ...

PRMT1 Ablation in Endothelial Cells Causes Endothelial Dysfunction and Aggravates COPD Attributable to Dysregulated NF‐κB Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in endothelial cells (ECs) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mice with endothelial‐specific PRMT1 deletion develop pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation, and apoptosis, driven by excessive nuclear factor kappa B activation.

Further characterization of NFIB‐associated phenotypes: Report of two new individuals

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 540-545, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Nuclear Factor I B (NFIB) haploinsufficiency has recently been identified as a cause of intellectual disability (ID) and macrocephaly. Here we report on two new individuals carrying a microdeletion in the chromosomal region 9p23‐p22.3 containing NFIB.
