Research on noncoding RNA, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), is growing rapidly. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed the complex roles of miRNAs in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). It has been demonstrated that the progression of PAH associated with CHD is characterized by particular dysregulation of miRNAs and is related to cardiovascular remodeling, cell death, and right ventricle dysfunction. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the involvement of miRNAs in the pathogenesis and progression of PAH associated with CHD. We commence by explaining the process of miRNA synthesis and its mode of action, as well as the role of miRNA in PAH associated with CHD. Moreover, the article delves into current breakthroughs in research, potential clinical implications, and prospects for future investigations. The review provides the insight into novel approaches for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of PAH associated with CHD.

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but severe and life-threatening condition that primarily affects the pulmonary blood vessels and the right ventricle of the heart. The limited availability of human tissue for research ~most of which represents only end-stage disease~ has led to a reliance on preclinical animal models. However, these models often fail to capture the heterogeneity and complexity of the human condition.

The characterization of tunnel wash water (TWW) from 12 Norwegian tunnels showed very high concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS), metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), and manganese (Mn) were mainly particle-associated. They are efficiently removed by sedimentation, while the dissolved concentrations of toxic metals like Cu, Zn, and As did not change.

Despite a compelling rationale to develop targeted therapies for the right ventricle in PAH, no such treatments exist. H-receptor antagonism is a potential myocardial-focused paradigm in heart failure.

Structural firefighters are exposed to an array of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a result of incomplete combustion of both synthetic and natural materials. PAHs are found in both the particulate and vapor phases in the firefighting environment and are significantly associated with acute and chronic diseases, including cancer. Using a fireground exposure simulator (FES) and standing mannequins dressed in four different firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE) conditions, each with varying levels of protective hood interface and particulate-blocking features, the efficacy of the hoods was assessed against the ingress of PAHs (specifically, naphthalene).

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance, leading to systemic venous hypertension and potential right heart failure. These elevated pressures can extend to ocular veins, resulting in complications such as central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). This case report highlights a rare instance of CRVO combined with cilioretinal artery occlusion (CilRAO), an uncommon ocular manifestation associated with PAH.
