ANG-1 TIE-2 and BMPR signalling defects are not seen in the nitrofen model of pulmonary hypertension and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. by Harriet Jane Corbett, Marilyn Gwen Connell, David Garth Fernig, Paul Damion Losty, Edwin Chitran Jesudason

“…We hypothesized that if these signalling defects cause PH generically, they will be readily identifiable perinatally in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), where the typical pulmonary vascular changes are present before birth and are accompanied by PH after birth.CDH (predominantly left-sided, LCDH) was created in Sprague-Dawley rat pups by e9.5 maternal nitrofen administration. …”

Prevalence and Impact of HIV Infections in Patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Evelyn N. Lumngwena, Dipolelo Mokaila, Olukayode Aremu, Patrick DMC Katoto, Jonathan Blackburn, Peter Zilla, Charles Shey Wiysonge, Ntobeko Ntusi

“…The proportion of RHD diagnosed among people living with HIV was 4% (95% CI 2–8, I2 = 79%) for adults but lower [2% (95% CI 1–4, I2 = 87%)] among perinatally infected children. Despite limited reporting, HIV-infected patients with RHD are prone to other infections that may enhance cardiac complications due to poor immunological control. …”

Whole Body Coordination for Self-Assistance in Locomotion by André Seyfarth, Guoping Zhao, Henrik Jörntell

“…We discuss how these connectivity patterns of the spinal interneurons appear to be present already perinatally but also likely are learned. We also discuss the importance of these insights into whole body locomotion for the successful design of future assistive devices and the sense of control that they could ideally confer to the user.…”

Isradipine therapy in Cacna1dIle772Met/+ mice ameliorates primary aldosteronism and neurologic abnormalities by Gabriel Stölting, Hoang An Dinh, Marina Volkert, Nicole Hellmig, Julia Schewe, Luise Hennicke, Eric Seidel, Herbert Oberacher, Junhui Zhang, Richard P. Lifton, Iris Urban, Melissa Long, Marion Rivalan, Timothy Nottoli, Ute I. Scholl

“…Male mice do not breed, likely due to neuromotor impairment, and the offspring of female mice die perinatally, likely due to lack of maternal care. Mice generated by in vitro fertilization showed elevated intracellular calcium in the aldosterone-producing zona glomerulosa, an elevated aldosterone/renin ratio, and persistently elevated serum aldosterone on a high-salt diet as signs of primary aldosteronism. …”

Antiretroviral adherence for adolescents growing up with HIV: understanding real life, drug delivery and forgiveness by Caroline Foster, Sara Ayers, Sarah Fidler

“…Late adolescence (15–19 years) is the only age group where HIV-associated mortality is rising, driven by poor adherence to ART and lack of access to second-line therapy, particularly amongst surviving perinatally infected young people. A previous lack of well-powered randomised multimodal behavioural ART adherence interventions specifically targeting adolescents is now being addressed and ongoing studies registered to ClinicalTrials.gov are described in the context of previous data. …”
