Published: August 1999

We performed a combined atrial (Mustard) and ventricular (Rastelli) repair on a previously palliated patient with situs inversus, atrioventricular discordance, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary atresia. The suitability and durability of this operative strategy is supported by the satisfactory hemodynamic and functional status of the patient 10 years later.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is an infrequent and complex congenital malformation, which accounts for approximately 0.5% of all congenital heart defects. This defect is characterized by both atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance, with the right atrium connected to the morphological left ventricle (LV), ejecting blood into the pulmonary artery, while the left atrium is connected to the morphological right ventricle (RV), ejecting blood into the aorta.

Prostate cancer (PCA) is one of the most prevalent types of male cancers. While current treatments for early-stage PCA are available, their efficacy is limited in advanced PCA, mainly due to drug resistance or low efficacy. In this context, novel valuable therapeutic opportunities may arise from the combined inhibition of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90).

Unlabelled: A quantum-light source that delivers photons with a high brightness and a high degree of entanglement is fundamental for the development of efficient entanglement-based quantum-key distribution systems. Among all possible candidates, epitaxial quantum dots are currently emerging as one of the brightest sources of highly entangled photons. However, the optimization of both brightness and entanglement currently requires different technologies that are difficult to combine in a scalable manner.

Loss of Calpain 3 dysregulates store-operated calcium entry and its exercise response in mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R1/2A (LGMD R1/2A) is linked to mutations in the CAPN3 gene, which encodes Calpain 3, a protease critical for muscle function and calcium regulation.
  • Research using both Capn3 deficient (C3KO) and wild-type (WT) mice revealed that the absence of Calpain 3 resulted in increased resting calcium levels and altered Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) activity.
  • After exercise, C3KO mice demonstrated reduced muscle force and impaired calcium dynamics, highlighting that the dysregulation of SOCE due to the loss of Calpain 3 contributes significantly to LGMD R1/2
