The baby victim of a shock is not always diagnosed at the time of his first visit to the emergency room. The recommendation for good practice in situations of shaken baby syndrome, published in July 2017 by the French National Authority for Health, helps in the diagnosis and management of these infants by health care providers. When this diagnosis is made, the baby's care pathway is generally long and punctuated by multiple examinations.

July 2022

Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, NHC Key Laboratory of Reproduction Regulation (Shanghai Institute for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Technologies), State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering at School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

Article Synopsis
  • Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, a condition leading to male infertility characterized by sperm malformations, has only a few identified pathogenic genes.
  • Two homozygous frameshift variants were discovered in patients from China and North Africa, leading to a typical phenotype with low sperm concentration and abnormal sperm flagella structure.
  • The research indicates that these genetic mutations are critical for sperm flagella formation and are linked to male infertility in both humans and a created mouse model.

Background: The relationship between myocardial work assessment using pressure-strain loops by echocardiography before cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and response to CRT has been recently revealed. Among myocardial work parameters, the impact of left ventricular myocardial global wasted work (GWW) on response to CRT and outcome following CRT has been seldom studied. Hence, the authors evaluated the relationship between preprocedural GWW and outcome in a large prospective cohort of patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction receiving CRT.

Article Synopsis
  • Smooth Muscle Cells (SMCs) can change their behavior and functionality, switching between a relaxed state and a more active, proliferative state, which can be linked to dysfunction.
  • In a study of infants with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO), it was found that SMCs had reduced contractile markers and increased levels of a receptor called PDGFRA, indicating a shift towards a less differentiated state.
  • Understanding this phenotypic change in CIPO-SMCs could lead to new therapeutic strategies aimed at encouraging these cells to differentiate properly and improve gut motility.
