Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiac CT, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the evaluation of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) for closure with an Amplatzer septal occluder in pediatric patients. The cases of 28 children with ASD initially diagnosed with TTE who were scheduled for cardiac CT for evaluation for insertion of an Amplatzer septal occluder under TEE guidance were reviewed. The patients were divided into a group with small ASD (long axis < 1.5 cm) and a group with large ASD (long axis > or = 1.5 cm). Measurements of the ASD obtained at TTE, cardiac CT, and TEE were compared. Kappa statistics were used to correlate the diagnostic value of cardiac CT assessed by two independent reviewers. After cardiac CT, six patients were excluded from occluder implantation; therefore, 22 patients (seven boys, 15 girls; mean age, 4.95 years; range, 2-11 years) were included in the study. There were no significant differences in the ages and sexes of the patients in the two groups, but pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio in the large-ASD group was significantly greater than that in the small-ASD group (3.54 +/- 1.43 vs 1.89 +/- 0.36; p = 0.001). With respect to long- a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
