Compliance with aspirin in paediatric CHD post-percutaneous transcatheter occlusion: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Predictors of compliance with aspirin in children following cardiac catheterisation have not been identified. The aim of this study is to identify the caregivers' knowledge, compliance with aspirin medication, and predictors of compliance with aspirin in children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) post-percutaneous transcatheter occlusion.

Methods: A cross-sectional explorative design was adopted using a self-administered questionnaire and conducted between May 2017 and May 2018.

The ribosome biogenesis protein Esf1 is essential for pharyngeal cartilage formation in zebrafish.

Craniofacial malformations are common congenital birth defects and usually caused by abnormal development of the cranial neural crest cells. Some nucleolar ribosome biogenesis factors are implicated in neural crest disorders also known as neurocristopathies. However, the underlying mechanisms linking ribosome biogenesis and neural crest cell (NCC) development remain to be elucidated.
