Dysregulation of FLVCR1a-dependent mitochondrial calcium handling in neural progenitors causes congenital hydrocephalus.

Congenital hydrocephalus (CH), occurring in approximately 1/1,000 live births, represents an important clinical challenge due to the limited knowledge of underlying molecular mechanisms. The discovery of novel CH genes is thus essential to shed light on the intricate processes responsible for ventricular dilatation in CH. Here, we identify FLVCR1 (feline leukemia virus subgroup C receptor 1) as a gene responsible for a severe form of CH in humans and mice.

Pediatric Transplant Interventions.

The field of pediatric organ transplantation has grown significantly in recent decades, with interventional radiology (IR) playing an essential role in managing pre and post-transplant complications. Pediatric transplant patients face unique challenges compared to adults, including donor-recipient size mismatch, and complications of a growing child with changing physiology. Interventional radiologists play a major role in pediatric renal and liver transplant.

Technical Feasibility and Clinical Efficacy of Iliac Vein Stent Placement in Adolescents and Young Adults with May-Thurner Syndrome.

Purpose: To report technical feasibility and clinical efficacy of iliac vein stent placement in adolescent patients with May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS).

Materials And Methods: Single-institution retrospective review of the medical record between 2014 and 2021 found 63 symptomatic patients (F = 40/63; mean age 16.1 years, 12-20 years) who underwent left common iliac vein (LCIV) stent placement for treatment of LCIV compression from an overriding right common iliac artery, or equivalent (n = 1, left IVC).
