Clinical and Genetic Findings of Autosomal Recessive Bestrophinopathy (ARB).

Mutations in cause several phenotypes including autosomal dominant (AD) Best vitelliform macular dystrophy type 2 (BVMD), AD vitreo-retino-choroidopathy (ADVIRC), and retinitis pigmentosa-50 (RP50). A rare subtype of Bestrophinopathy exists with biallelic mutations in . Its frequency is estimated to be 1/1,000,000 individuals.

Effects of combustion-derived ultrafine particles and manufactured nanoparticles on heart cells in vitro.

Evidence from epidemiological studies indicates that acute exposure to airborne pollutants is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality attributed to cardiovascular diseases. The present study investigated the effects of combustion-derived ultrafine particles (diesel exhaust particles) as well as engineered nanoparticles (titanium dioxide and single-walled carbon nanotubes) on impulse conduction characteristics, myofibrillar structure and the formation of reactive oxygen species in patterned growth strands of neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes in vitro. Diesel exhaust particles as well as titanium dioxide nanoparticles showed the most pronounced effects.
