The need for creation or enlargement of a ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare occurrence. It is most frequently required in patients with double-outlet right ventricle who develop restriction of a remote muscular VSD or obstruction of a perimembranous VSD secondary to atrioventricular (AV) valve attachments to the interventricular septum. Surgical and transcatheter options for VSD creation or enlargement are associated with several risks including heart block, AV valve injury, and perforation. We report the first description of a hybrid approach to VSD creation and enlargement in two patients.

Background: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs), highly prevalent amongst the elderly, can lead to avoidable medication-related harm. Cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS) drugs are commonly implicated. To date, there is no consensus on how to measure DDIs, making comparisons across countries challenging.

Myostatin (Mstn) negatively regulates muscle growth and Mstn deficiency induced "double-skeletal muscle" development in vertebrates, including tilapias. In this study, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of skeletal muscle from both wild-type and mstnb males to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle hypertrophy in mstnb mutants. We identified 4697 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 113 differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (DE lncRNAs), 211 differentially expressed circular RNAs (DE circRNAs), and 98 differentially expressed microRNAs (DE miRNAs).

With the applications of in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrical - measurement, and ambient pressure hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-HAXPES), the characteristics of the topotactic phase transition of LaCoO (LCO) thin films are examined. XRD measurements show clear evidence of structural phase transition (SPT) of the LCO thin films from the perovskite (PV) LaCoO to the brownmillerite (BM) LaCoO phases through the intermediate LaCoO phase at a temperature of 350 °C under high-vacuum conditions, ∼10 mbar. The reverse SPT from BM to PV phases is also found under ambient pressure (>100 mbar) of air near 100 °C.

The global incidence of mortality due to heart failure (HF) is on the rise, presenting a significant challenge in various regions, including Japan. There is an urgent need for innovative prevention and treatment strategies to address this issue. Traditional medicine, particularly Japanese Kampo medicine (JKM), has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach and has undergone examination in clinical trials related to HF.

Butanol, a highly toxic volatile organic compound, poses significant health risks. Consequently, the creation of efficient gas-sensitive materials for butanol detection holds substantial practical significance. This study employed a secondary hydrothermal technique to synthesize InO, BiVO, and their composite InO/BiVO.
