Abstract

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart defect in which the ductus arteriosus, a vascular structure between the pulmonary artery and the aorta that normally closes shortly after birth, remains open. We present two cases of adults with PDA. A 28-year-old lady had a small PDA without any symptoms or left heart overload. The PDA was closed for endocarditis prevention using a coil. In a 37-year-old lady with palpitations, collapse, dyspnoea and left heart overload caused by a large PDA, percutaneous closure of the PDA was performed with an Amplatzer device. Transcatheter closure has been established to be the method of choice for treating a PDA in adults. (Neth Heart J 2008;16:255-9.).

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
