Abstract

We sought to assess the outcome of transcatheter ductus arteriosus stenting in newborns with ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation. Better results of ductal stenting have been reported using stents with better scaffolding and ensuring stenting of the entire length of the ductus arteriosus. Twenty-one patients with ductal-dependent pulmonary circulation were brought to the catheterization laboratory for ductal stenting. Five patients did not qualify because of a complex tortuous ductus arteriosus or branch pulmonary artery stenosis. Stent implantation was successful in 14 patients. The duct was accessed with a 0.014-inch guidewire. A low profile premounted coronary stent was implanted in the duct without using a long delivery sheath. Attempts were made to cover the entire length of the ductus arteriosus. The mean age of the patients at the time of stent implantation was 24 +/- 17.5 days. The mean body weight was 2.9 +/- 0.35 kg. The ductus was mildly tortuous in four, moderately tortuous in four, conical in four, and vertical in four patients. Ductal stenting was successful in 14 patients. The mean ductal diameter was 3.9 +/- 0.5 mm. The mean diameter and the length of the stent implanted were 3.9 +/- 0.72 and 15.4 +/- 3.16 mm,...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.
