AI Article Synopsis
- Heterotaxy refers to abnormal arrangements of heart and other visceral structures that do not follow the typical layout.
- Isomerism in congenital heart defects features paired structures that are symmetrical mirror images across the body's left-right axis, with distinct types: right (linked with asplenia) and left (linked with polysplenia).
- The report discusses a unique case of left isomerism accompanied by asplenia in a 4-year-old girl.
Article Abstract
Anatomical configurations where the viscero-atrial structures do not follow the usual arrangement or mirror-imaged arrangement is described conventionally as heterotaxy. Isomerism in the context of the congenitally malformed heart is a situation where some paired structures on opposite sides of the left-right axis of the body are, in morphologic terms, symmetrical mirror images of each other. It encompasses two separate entities, right and left isomerism, the former being usually associated with asplenia and the latter with polysplenia. We report herein a rare case of left isomerism that is associated with asplenia in a 4-year-old girl.

Dynamic supramolecular snub cubes.
Nature

Mimicking the superstructures and properties of spherical biological encapsulants such as viral capsids and ferritin offers viable pathways to understand their chiral assemblies and functional roles in living systems. However, stereospecific assembly of artificial polyhedra with mechanical properties and guest-binding attributes akin to biological encapsulants remains a formidable challenge. Here we report the stereospecific assembly of dynamic supramolecular snub cubes from 12 helical macrocycles, which are held together by 144 weak C-H hydrogen bonds.

We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Children's Heart Center Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Objective: To report our recent experience with prenatal detection of significant cardiovascular malformations (CVMs) in Nevada's state-wide maternal population receiving prenatal care.
Methods: We queried our databases for those with significant CVMs diagnosed pre- or postnatally between May 1, 2021, and April 30, 2024. We defined CVMs as those that required, would have required, or will likely require a therapeutic procedure in the first 12 months.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a case of a 71-year-old man with heterotaxy syndrome, a condition causing symmetrical development of organs, who underwent surgery for non-small cell lung cancer.
- A CT scan revealed a rapidly growing tumor in his right middle lobe, alongside anatomical anomalies in the bronchi and pulmonary artery.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for 3D-CT scans to better understand the unique anatomy in patients with heterotaxy syndrome prior to surgical procedures, as this specific anatomical variation had not been previously documented.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers synthesized L/D-glutamic acid-based amphiphiles (L/D-GluC16) and created helical nanofibers (M/P-GluC16) with supramolecular chirality, using solvent manipulation.
- * Molecular dynamics simulations showed that M/P-GluC16 binds more effectively to proteins than L/D-GluC16, resulting in greater cancer cell inhibition, emphasizing the importance of supramolecular chirality over molecular chirality in these interactions.
