Robin Sequence: Neonatal Management.

Neoreviews

December 2024

Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver, CO.

Article Synopsis
  • - Robin sequence (RS) is characterized by a triad of micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction, potentially leading to a cleft palate due to developmental issues.
  • - RS can occur alone (isolated RS) or alongside other syndromes (syndromic RS), and diagnosis is primarily through clinical observation or imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI.
  • - Treatment aims to alleviate airway obstruction and glossoptosis through both conservative methods (like positioning and respiratory support) and surgical options (like tracheostomy and mandibular distraction), with ongoing research focused on genetics and improving detection and outcomes.

Endothelial activation, Cell-Cell Interactions, and Inflammatory Pathways in Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardiac Surgery.

Biomed J

November 2024

Department of Cardiology, Hospital Clínico Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca, University of Murcia, Instituto Murciano de Investigación Biosanitaria (IMIB-Arrixaca), CIBERCV, Murcia, Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the link between endothelial activation and systemic inflammation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, focusing on how these factors contribute to postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF).
  • Researchers compared 117 patients, including those with permanent AF and POAF, measuring various biological markers and cellular expressions related to heart function and inflammation.
  • Findings indicate that both permanent AF and POAF patients exhibited higher signs of inflammation and endothelial activation, which may lead to atrial remodeling and increased risk of AF compared to non-AF patients.

An evolutionarily conserved metabolite inhibits biofilm formation in Escherichia coli K-12.

Nat Commun

November 2024

Institute for Integrative Genome Biology and Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside, Riverside, CA, USA.

Methylerythritol cyclodiphosphate (MEcPP) is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids in plant plastids and in bacteria, and acts as a stress signal in plants. Here, we show that MEcPP regulates biofilm formation in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. Increased MEcPP levels, triggered by genetic manipulation or oxidative stress, inhibit biofilm development and production of fimbriae.
