Cardiovascular Outcomes Associated With Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Versus Other Types of Single Right Ventricle: A Multicenter Study.

Background: The univentricular heart with a predominant right ventricle morphology (uRV) has been associated with a higher rate of adverse cardiovascular events. It remains to be determined whether the specific type of uRV influences outcomes.

Methods And Results: A North American multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted by the Alliance for Adult Research in Congenital Cardiology on individuals with a uRV and total cavopulmonary connection Fontan.

MALTectomy and psoriasis risk in women: A prospective study in the French E3N prospective cohort.

Background And Aim: The involvement of mucosa associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) in the development of an autoimmune response in the skin is unclear and unstudied. In this study we sought to assess the relationship between removal of MALT tissues (MALTectomy) and the risk of development of psoriasis (overall or moderate-to-severe).

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study based on E3N, a French cohort composed of 98 995 women born between 1925 and 1950 and insured by the health insurance of the national education system (MGEN).

Senolytic treatment diminishes microglia and decreases severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

Background: The role of senescence in disease contexts is complex, however there is considerable evidence that depletion of senescent cells improves outcomes in a variety of contexts particularly related to aging, cognition, and neurodegeneration. Much research has shown previously that inflammation can promote cellular senescence. Microglia are a central nervous system innate immune cell that undergo senescence with aging and during neurodegeneration.
