Characterising the lipid profile of paediatric patients with anomalous aortic origins of a coronary artery.

Background: Lipid levels in paediatric patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) have not previously been explored. Patients with CHD have an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease later in life compared to the general population. We aim to characterise the lipid profiles in paediatric patients with AAOCA and explore its relation to diagnosis, race/ethnicity, and exercise.

Perceptions of exercise behavior and well-being in anomalous aortic origin of coronary arteries.

Unlabelled: Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is associated with sudden death in the young. Risk stratification and management decision-making remain challenging. Data addressing post-diagnosis perceptions of exercise behavior and safety are lacking.

An SMS Text Message-Based Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Program for Hispanic Adolescents With Obesity: Qualitative Co-Design Process.

Background: SMS text message-based interventions are a promising approach for reaching and engaging high-risk youths, such as Hispanic adolescents with obesity, in health promotion and disease prevention opportunities. This is particularly relevant, given that SMS text messaging is widely accessible and available and that adolescents are frequent texters. Including youths in the development of SMS text message content can lead to more acceptable and relevant messaging; however, few studies include this group as cocollaborators.

Dural arteriovenous fistula of the torcular herophili presenting with hydrocephalus and venous congestion in an 8-month-old child: A case report.

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are direct communication between the dural arterial and venous systems. They are more common in adults. In children, they are relatively rare.

MNK-eIF4E signalling is a highly conserved mechanism for sensory neuron axonal plasticity: evidence from .

Injury to sensory neurons causes an increase in the excitability of these cells leading to enhanced action potential generation and a lowering of spike threshold. This type of sensory neuron plasticity occurs across vertebrate and invertebrate species and has been linked to the development of both acute and persistent pain. Injury-induced plasticity in sensory neurons relies on localized changes in gene expression that occur at the level of mRNA translation.
