A 12-month-old girl (8.4 kg) with absent pulmonary valve syndrome and enlarged bilateral pulmonary arteries underwent trans-tricuspid ventricular septal defect closure, placement of a right ventricular-to-pulmonary artery conduit and hilum-to-hilum internal pulmonary artery plication plasty.

An 8-week-old, 3.4-kg infant, who was diagnosed prenatally with tetralogy of Fallot and absent pulmonary valve syndrome, was intubated after birth and failed extubation due to severe tracheobronchomalacia. He was deemed inoperable prior to being transferred to our institution.

Absent pulmonary valve syndrome, commonly linked with tetralogy of Fallot and ventricular septal defect, is a rare congenital condition. It is exceedingly rare to have an isolated absent pulmonary valve with an intact ventricular septum without cardiovascular shunt lesions, such as an atrial/ventricular septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus. This report presents a case of such rarity involving a young child with recurrent lower respiratory tract infections.

Coronary sinus (CS) defects are rare congenital cardiac anomalies that occur in isolation or with other congenital heart diseases. Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is a relatively common entity that usually drains into the CS, is of no hemodynamic consequence, and is easily diagnosed on echocardiography by a dilated CS and an antegrade flow toward the heart. However, a combination of LSVC and CS defect may reverse its flow direction and CS dilation may be absent.

However, this anti-tumor-activity is countered by radiation-induced immunosuppression (RIIS). Clinical advantages of proactively sparing RT dose to immune rich organs have not previously been evaluated.

Formaldehyde (FA) is a ubiquitous indoor air pollutant emitted from construction, consumer, and combustion-related products, and ozone-initiated reactions with reactive organic volatiles. The derivation of an indoor air quality guideline for FA by World Health Organization in 2010 did not find convincing evidence for bronchoconstriction-related reactions as detrimental lung function. Causal relationship between FA and asthma has since been advocated in meta-analyses of selected observational studies.
