Cardiovascular Abnormalities
Abstract
Ventricular tachyarrhythmias commonly occur in trained athletes during ambulatory Holter electrocardiography and are usually associated with a benign course. Such arrhythmias have been demonstrated to be sensitive to short periods of athletic deconditioning; however, their response t...

Abstract
Concerns have been expressed about possible adverse effects of the use of antidepressant medication during pregnancy, including risk for neonatal pathology and the presence of congenital malformations.
Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register (MBR) from 1 July 1995 up to 2007 were used to identi...

Abstract
There is no conclusive evidence for increased risk for malformations but paroxetine and possibly fluoxetine use in early pregnancy may be associated with a small increased risk for cardiovascular malformations. Perinatal adverse effects, including respiratory distress and neonatal adaptation problem...

Etiology of sudden death in the community: results of anatomical, metabolic, and genetic evaluation.
Abstract
Identifying persons at risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) is challenging. A comprehensive evaluation may reveal clues about the clinical, anatomical, genetic, and metabolic risk factors for SCD.

The incidence of vascular disorders is markedly lower in cycling, pre-menopausal women and post-menopausal women receiving estrogen-progestogen therapy than in men or untreated postmenopausal women. Clinical studies demonstrate that estrogen-progestogen therapy in pre-menopausal women is associated...

We confirmed certain transcriptional activity and down regulation of gene expression by the vector. In situ hybridization analysis indicated selective inhibition of NRP1 expression in the VEGF gene loss of function model, which might imply in turn that VEGF could not only activate endothelial cells...

Abstract
We have developed a method using a 2 mm diameter 20 MHz pulsed Doppler probe applied to the chest of anesthetized mice to measure left main coronary blood flow velocity noninvasively. We also found that coronary flow velocity could be increased from baseline (B) to hyperemic (H) levels by changing t...

Microcytosis is a common laboratory finding in dogs with iron deficiency and congenital portosystemic vascular anomalies (PSVA), however artefactual changes due to blood storage may occur which could mask this feature. This study evaluated the effects of storage on microcytosis in dogs with congenit...

Abstract
We inactivated FAK in embryonic cardiomyocytes by crossing the floxed FAK mice with myosin light chain-2a (MLC2a) Cre mice, which expressed Cre as early as embryonic day 9.5 in the heart. The majority of conditional FAK knockout mice generated from MLC2a-Cre (CFKO-2a) died in the embryonic stage wit...

Abstract
Thirty-eight 64-MDCT and 30 16-MDCT scans were evaluated. Mean diagnostic quality for 64-MDCT was rated at 3.6 +/- 0.4 and mean image noise was 8.9 +/- 4.5 H. Results with 16-MDCT were not significantly different: diagnostic quality (3.6 +/- 0.4; p = 0.97) and image noise (9.1 +/- 2.8 H; p = 0.31)....

Abstract
We show that a novel HIF family basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) PAS (Per-Arnt-Sim) protein, which is expressed predominantly during embryonic and neonatal stages and thereby designated NEPAS (neonatal and embryonic PAS), acts as a negative regulator of HIF-mediated gene expression. NEPAS mRNA is deriv...

Abstract
These results strongly suggested that the identified mutation was the etiological cause of the oligodontia. However, in two family members affected by both hypodontia and peg-shaped upper lateral incisors, no mutations in the PAX9 and MSX1 genes were identified. This fact underscores the importance...

We defined the cardiac phenotypes that result from heterozygous mutation of murine Gata4. We then asked if GATA4 mutation occurs in humans with these forms of congenital heart disease (CHD). In mice, heterozygous Gata4 mutation was associated with atrial and ventricular septal defect (ASD, VSD), end...

Deletion of both EIIIA and EIIIB exons did not affect synthesis or cell surface deposition of FN, indicating that embryonic lethality was due specifically to the...

We report five patients with 'atypical' proximal interstitial deletions from 1p36.23-1p36.11 using array-comparative genomic hybridization. Four patients carry large overlapping deletions of approximately 9.38-14.69 Mb in size, and one patient carries a small 2.97 Mb deletion. Interestingly, these p...
