Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the long-term effects of Cardiosphere-derived cell (CDC) infusion in patients with single ventricle heart disease, focusing on outcomes over an 8-year period.
  • Among 93 patients, those who received CDC infusion experienced a statistically significant reduction in late failure and adverse events compared to control patients, although overall survival rates at 8 years did not significantly differ.
  • The beneficial effects of CDC treatment on survival became more apparent by the 4-year mark, particularly for patients with heart failure, suggesting that CDC infusion may provide sustained clinical advantages over time.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major respiratory pathogen which causes bronchiolitis with dyspnea and wheezing in children less than 2 years old. RSV bronchiolitis in infancy severe enough to cause hospitalization might be a risk factor for allergic sensitization and bronchial asthma in future. However, the pathophysiology behind this development has not been clearly characterized.

Toners are micron scale polymer particles constructed of several kinds of resin, pigment, wax, etc. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is used for observation of the dispersion of the component materials in toners, but TEM images cannot identify simultaneously all components. Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) not only provides simultaneous observation of spatial distributions of wax, resin and carbon black in toners, but it also provides detailed, quantitative, chemical information about the wax and resin environments through chemical component maps derived from multiple energy image sequences.
