Percutaneous PFO closure, further data but many unanswered questions.
The pace of technological development in interventional congenital cardiology over the last two decades has been fast and relentless. Successful and reliable closure of secundum atrial septal defects in the catheter laboratory translated to interest in the use of similar devices for the occlusion of the patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common remnant of the fetal circulation. The pathological pote...
متن کاملThe role of infection in cardiovascular disease: more support but many questions remain.
The study by Madjid et al. is a valuable addition to the evidence supporting a role for infections in cardiovascular disease. Capitalizing on the very high rate of autopsies that are routinely performed in St Petersburg and the availability of high quality data about circulating levels of influenza infection, a clear association between influenza epidemics and increased rates of deaths from cor...
متن کاملIn toto live imaging of mouse morphogenesis and new insights into neural tube closure.
In the field of developmental biology, live imaging is a powerful tool for studying, in real time, the dynamic behaviors of tissues and cells during organ formation. Mammals, which develop in utero, have presented a challenge for live imaging. Here, we offer a novel, prolonged and robust live imaging system for visualizing the development of a variety of embryonic tissues in the midgestation mo...
متن کاملIdentifying Regulators of Morphogenesis Common to Vertebrate Neural Tube Closure and Caenorhabditis elegans Gastrulation.
Neural tube defects including spina bifida are common and severe congenital disorders. In mice, mutations in more than 200 genes can result in neural tube defects. We hypothesized that this large gene set might include genes whose homologs contribute to morphogenesis in diverse animals. To test this hypothesis, we screened a set of Caenorhabditis elegans homologs for roles in gastrulation, a to...
متن کاملNeural tube closure in Xenopus
Neurulation is the process by which progenitors of the central nervous system are shaped, separated from and brought beneath the epidermis. The cellular basis of these movements have been investigated in amphibians (Jacobson, 1981; Jacobson and Gordon, 1976; Keller et al., 1992b), chicken (Schoenwolf and Smith, 1990b; Smith and Schoenwolf, 1997) and mice (Bush et al., 1990; Sausedo and Schoenwo...
