The Landscape of Noncoding RNA in Pulmonary Hypertension

The transcriptome of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is complex and highly genetically heterogeneous, with noncoding RNA transcripts playing crucial roles.The majority of RNAs in the noncoding transcriptome are long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with less circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are two characteristics gaining crochet hooks increasing attention in t

The intersection of the extrinsic hedgehog and WNT/wingless signals with the intrinsic Hox code underpins branching pattern and tube shape diversity in the drosophila airways.

The tubular Spoon Set networks of the Drosophila respiratory system and our vasculature show distinct branching patterns and tube shapes in different body regions.These local variations are crucial for organ function and organismal fitness.Organotypic patterns and tube geometries in branched networks are typically controlled by variations of extrin

Novel endovascular technique for repair of superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula with portal vein aneurysm

Background: A superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (SMAVF) is a rare, aberrant connection between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the superior mesenteric vein (SMV).Management includes either open surgical repair or endovascular repair with embolization coils or covered stents.We report a novel in-stent coil embolization technique suc

Clinical outcome and survival in 30 pulmonary hypertension patients with high severity indices and advanced functional class

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an idiopathic or secondary disorder associated with many systemic illnesses.Long-term survival in PH depends on the severity and functional class.Several new drugs are now available to treat PH, but their impact Cables on clinical outcome and survival are not well established.OBJECTIVES: Evaluate severity
