Background: Meta-analysis of the impact on clinical outcome from transcatheter closure of Fontan fenestration. Methods: Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, and Open-Gray were searched. Parameters such as changes in oxygen saturation, cavo-pulmonary pressure, maximum heart rate during exercise, exercise duration, and oxygen saturation after fenestration closure were pooled and statistical analysis performed. Results: Among 922 publications, 12 retrospective observational studies were included...

BACKGROUND: adipose tissue dysfunction is a key factor for diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development. Chia (Salvia hispanica) is an abundant source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber which could improve adipose tissue functionality. AIM: to analyze the effect of an isocaloric chia-supplemented diet on glucose metabolism, adipose tissue inflammation, and endothelial function markers in patients with NAFLD and early stages of diabetes...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death around the world, and its rate of presentation is increasing at young ages. Despite the evidence that secondary prevention in CAD reduces the risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), no studies have analyzed the composite control of blood pressure, lipids, and glucose control in premature CAD. METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a real-world prospective cohort study of patients with premature CAD...

This report describes an anesthesia technique that we used to study cardiovascular anatomy and physiology with echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in 46 African clawed frogs ( Xenopus laevis ) ( n = 24 for electrocardiography and n = 22 for CMR). For administration of anesthesia, 3 holding tanks, one each for transportation, sedation, and recovery, were filled with filtered water, with 0.05% buffered tricaine methasulfonate solution (MS-222) added into the sedation tank. Fifteen minutes after the frog was placed in the sedation tank, a paper towel was soaked in MS-222 solution, and the frog was placed in a supine position and rolled 3 to 4 times in the soaked paper with the head and legs exposed...

Ongoing concerns with single-ventricle palliation morbidity and poor outcomes from primary biventricular strategies for neonates with borderline left heart structures have led some centers to attempt alternative strategies to obviate the need for ultimate Fontan palliation and limit the risk to the child during the vulnerable neonatal period. In certain patients who are traditionally palliated toward single-ventricle circulation, biventricular circulation is possible. This review aims to delineate the current knowledge regarding converting certain patients with borderline left heart structures from single-ventricle palliation toward biventricular circulation...

Aim: Comprehensive, global information on species' occurrences is an essential biodiversity variable and central to a range of applications in ecology, evolution, biogeography and conservation. Expert range maps often represent a species' only available distributional information and play an increasing role in conservation assessments and macroecology. We provide global range maps for the native ranges of all extant mammal species harmonised to the taxonomy of the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) mobilised from two sources, the Handbook of the Mammals of the World (HMW) and the Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of the World (CMW)...

Ebstein's anomaly, first described in 1866 by Dr William Ebstein, accounts for 0.3-0.5% of congenital heart defects and represents 40% of congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities. Ebstein's anomaly affects the development of the tricuspid valve with widely varying morphology and, therefore, clinical presentation. Associated congenital cardiac lesions tend to be found more often in younger patients and may even be the reason for presentation. Presentation can vary from the most extreme form in fetal life, to asymptomatic diagnosis late in adult life...

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has recently gained importance in the medical industry, especially in surgical specialties. It uses different techniques and materials based on patients' needs, which allows bioprofessionals to design and develop unique pieces using medical imaging provided by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, the Department of Biology and Medicine and the Department of Physics and Engineering, at the Bioastronautics and Space Mechatronics Research Group, have managed and supervised an international cooperation study, in order to present a general review of the innovative surgical applications, focused on anatomical systems, such as the nervous and craniofacial system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, genitourinary system, and musculoskeletal system...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single center, retrospective study, was conducted with criteria for inclusion patient <18 years of age, operation on with cardiopulmonary bypass for heart surgery from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020, with purse strings for cannulation performed with absorbable sutures...

We demonstrate a concept for a large enhancement of the directivity and gain of readily available cm- and mm-wave antennas, i.e., without altering any property of the antenna design. Our concept exploits the high reflectivity of a Bragg reflector composed of three bilayers made of transparent materials. The cavity has a triangular aperture in order to resemble the idea of a horn-like, highly directive antenna. Importantly, we report gain enhancements of more than 400% in relation to the gain of the antenna without the Bragg structure, accompanied by a highly directive radiation pattern...

Caesalpinia sappan and Haematoxylum brasiletto belong to the Fabaceae family, predominantly distributed in Southeast Asia and America. The isoflavonoid brazilin has been identified from the bark and heartwood of these plants. This review summarizes the studies describing the biological activities of these plants and brazilin. Mainly, brazilin protects cells from oxidative stress, shows anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and hypoglycemic effect. In addition, it has a biological impact on various pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, fibrillogenesis, and osteoarthritis...

BACKGROUND: The interatrial communication, one of the most frequent congenital heart defects, represents an important intracardiac shunt between systemic and pulmonary circulations. Direction and magnitude of the interatrial shunting depends upon several features, including defect size, shape and location, pressure difference between right and left atrium, and difference in right and left ventricular compliance. METHODS: In this review article, the presence or absence of interatrial communication, and its role, have been analyzed, as they can have a critical impact on the cardiovascular physiopathology, and the interatrial communication can prove to be either clinically harmful, useful or indispensable...

Plant defense and adaptation to adverse environmental conditions rely on gene expression control, such as mRNA transcription, processing, stability, and translation. Sudden temperature changes are common in the era of global warming; thus, understanding plant acclimation responses at the molecular level becomes imperative. mRNA translation initiation regulation has a pivotal role in achieving the synthesis of the appropriate battery of proteins needed to cope with temperature stress. In this study, we analyzed the role of translation initiation factors belonging to the eIF4E family in Arabidopsis acclimation to cold temperatures and freezing tolerance...

BACKGROUND: Un-roofing is the most common technique utilized for repair of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA). There are very few publications directly comparing un-roofing to another surgical technique, like reimplantation. METHODS: The prospectively collected Children's Memorial Hermann Heart Institute Society of Thoracic Surgeon's Database was retrospectively reviewed from 2007 to 2021. Surgical patients were included if they underwent un-roofing or reimplantation of the AAOCA...
