AI Article Synopsis

  • Shone syndrome, first described in 1963 by Dr. JD Shone, is a rare group of congenital heart defects that make up about 0.6% of all congenital heart abnormalities.
  • It includes specific issues like coarctation of the aorta, subaortic stenosis, supravalvular mitral ring, and a parachute mitral valve.
  • The case presented aims to highlight the potential post-surgical imaging characteristics of Shone syndrome using computed tomography.

Article Abstract

Shone syndrome was first described in 1963 by Dr JD Shone. It is a constellation of congenital abnormalities compromising approximately 0.6% of all cases of congenital cardiac abnormalities. Shone syndrome is also known as Shone complex, involving several characteristic cardiac abnormalities: coarctation of the aorta, subaortic stenosis, supravalvular mitral ring, and a parachute mitral valve. Given the uncommon nature of the disease, we present this case to illustrate potential postsurgical appearances of Shone syndrome, specifically on computed tomography imaging.

Background: Relationships between pulmonary hypertension (PHTN), mitral valve intervention (MVI), and death among patients with Shone's syndrome (SS) are unclear. Our recent data suggested temporal progression of MV disease and early survival benefit with MVI at initial operation. In this expanded cohort, we characterized trajectory and impact of PHTN on survival, and its relationship to MVI(s).

Background: The Ross procedure has excellent outcomes in the pediatric population. Some series have reported age- and anatomy-dependent outcomes, but a comprehensive analysis stratified by these variables has not been reported to date. We sought to describe the landscape of congenital heart disease (CHD) treated with the Ross procedure and identify the patients best served by this operation.

  • Shone's syndrome (SS) is a rare congenital heart defect with a range of developmental issues.
  • It mainly features left ventricular inflow and outflow tract lesions, including parachute mitral valve and supravalvular mitral ring.
  • Cases involving a double-orifice mitral valve in Shone's syndrome are not commonly reported.

Evolution of methods to detect paraneoplastic antibodies.

Handb Clin Neurol

March 2024

Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.

An adaptive immune response in less than 1% of people who develop cancer produces antibodies against neuronal proteins. These antibodies can be associated with paraneoplastic syndromes, and their accurate detection should instigate a search for a specific cancer. Over the years, multiple systems, from indirect immunofluorescence to live cell-based assays, have been developed to identify these antibodies.

A parachute mitral valve (PMV) is a congenital mitral valve anomaly diagnosed in infancy, and it can also be discovered in adults during echocardiography. Surgical management is common in infants to prevent complications from left-heart obstructions. In adults, PMV may be found independently or with other cardiac defects.
