Structural fetal diseases, such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can be diagnosed prenatally. Neonates with CDH are healthy in utero gas exchange is managed by the placenta, but impaired lung function results critical illness from time a baby takes its first breath. MicroRNA (miR) 200b and downstream targets TGF-β pathway critically involved branching morphogenesis. Here, we characterize expression of miR200b at different gestational times using rat model CDH. Fetal rats deficient...
Abstract Background Despite the growth of trauma training courses worldwide, evidence for their impact on clinical practice in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) is sparse. We investigated practices by trained providers Uganda using observation, surveys, interviews. Methods Ugandan participated Kampala Advanced Trauma Course (KATC) from 2018 to 2019. Between July September 2019, we directly evaluated guideline‐concordant behaviors KATC‐exposed facilities a structured real‐time...
Surgeons practicing in high-income countries (HIC) like the United States, which spends an estimated 765 billion dollars per year on unnecessary healthcare costs, are generally not accustomed to resource limitations.1 However, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has strained usually robust system HIC. Lack of adequate testing, small reserves ventilators and global supply chain disruptions, among other causes, have led shortages affecting care for critically ill patients – most...
Neural tube defects are a common congenital anomaly involving incomplete closure of the spinal cord. Myelomeningocele (MMC) is severe form in which there complete exposure neural tissue with lack skin, soft tissue, or bony covering to protect The all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induced rat model reproducible, cost-effective means studying this disease; however, limited modalities objectively quantify disease severity, potential benefits from experimental therapies. We sought determine...
