Abstract

Acute type A aortic dissection is a lethal aortic disease with an extremely poor prognosis unless surgical intervention is performed in a timely manner. Since the clinical introduction of gelatin-resorcin-formalin (GRF) glue in Japan, tear-oriented aortic repairs have been widely performed with the aid of this glue at many institutions over the past decade. A total of 138 patients underwent glue-aided emergency operations for acute type A aortic dissection at Nihon University Itabashi hospital. The hospital mortality rate was 6.7%. The actuarial survival rate was 81.5% after 5 years and 54.8% after 10 years. The rate of freedom from reoperation was 87.9% after 5 years and 72.3% after 10 years. Although application of GRF glue remains controversial because of concerns about the cytotoxicity of formaldehyde and tissue necrosis, cytotoxicity and tissue necrosis have not been found at reoperation. GRF glue demonstrated excellent tissue adhesion and hemostasis capabilities and contributed to improved surgical results. Although some disadvantages have been reported, complications can be avoided by proper use of the glue and proper selection of surgical procedure, based on the pathology of the patient.

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.
