Decoding Monogenic Hypertension: A Review of Rare Hypertension Disorders.
Am J Hypertens
January 2025
Hypertension is a growing concern worldwide, with increasing prevalence rates in both children and adults. Most cases of hypertension are multifactorial, with various genetic, environmental, socioeconomic, and lifestyle influences. However, monogenic hypertension, a blanket term for a group of rare of hypertensive disorders, is caused by single-gene mutations that are typically inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, and ultimately disrupt normal blood pressure regulation in the kidney or adrenal gland.

- Polymerization-induced microphase separation (PIMS) combined with 3D printing allows for the creation of customized nanostructured materials with various functional applications.
- This study introduces a new type of network structure using linear macroCTAs with pendant CTA groups, resulting in unique disordered morphologies and enhanced control over internal nanostructures.
- By adjusting the number of pendant CTA groups, researchers can manipulate properties like mechanical strength and swelling behavior, leading to the development of “smart” 4D materials that can respond to environmental changes.
A polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon displaying twelve edge nitrogen centers for a 42 π-electron system is reported. This compound was synthesized Sonogashira coupling of pyrimidine precursors, [2+2+2] cycloaddition of bis(aryl) alkynes, and anionic cyclodehydrogenation. Spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational results suggest a narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO gap compared to the -free analogue.
