Abstract:

La presenza di malformazioni cardiache congenite nel feto è una importante complicanze che ha un impatto drammatico sulla vita del neonato . Abbiamo voluto studiare la possibile presenza di una disfunzione placentare in feti che presentano la diagnosi di un difetto cardiaco. Abbiamo dimostrato che nel I trimestre, i feti con malformazione cardiaca presentano concentrazioni significativamente più basse di PlGF (placental growth factor) e pregnancy-associated plasma protein (PAPP-a). Ciò significa che la funzionalità placentare è ridotta. Inoltre, abbiamo mostrato che la perfusione placentare i

Abstract:

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most prevalent type of congenital anomaly and the principal cause of death from congenital anomalies during infancy. However reliable information about longer-term survival and the factors predictive of death during later childhood is lacking. In this thesis, I report the findings of a multicentre cohort study established to estimate survival with serious CHDs from birth to 15 years of age and to investigate the independent effects of early life and procedure-related factors on mortality risk.

There is relatively little epidemiologic information about Ebstein anomaly (EA) ─ a rare congenital heart defect. Thus, we analyzed characteristics of EA in a geographically and ethnically diverse population. Data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study were used to study infants born from 1997-2007 with EA. Birth prevalence and prevalence ratio (PR) estimates were derived from the number of affected infants per 10,000 live births in the catchment area.

Abstract:

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are structural anomalies affecting the heart, are found in 1% of the population and arise during early stages of embryo development. Without surgical and medical interventions, most of the severe CHD cases would not survive after the first year of life. The improved health care for CHD patients has increased CHD prevalence significantly, and it has been estimated that the population of adults with CHD is growing ~5% per year. Understanding the causes of CHD would greatly help improve our knowledge of the pathophysiology, family counseling and planning and possibl

Abstract:

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide and a significant social and healthcare burden. The aetiology of CHD is poorly understood, though heritable genetic factors including copy number variants (CNVs) have been shown to contribute to the risk of CHD in individuals of European ancestry. However, the role of rare CNVs in the development of CHD in African populations including South Africa is unknown. This study aims to identify pathogenic and likely pathogenic CNVs in South African cases of CHD. To our knowle

Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) are the most common type of human congenital anomaly, representing 0.8~1.2% of infants at birth and accounting for over 40% of prenatal deaths.

We aimed to investigate the value of machine learning (ML) in enhancing CHDs diagnosis, particularly for identifying susceptive genes by exploring high-throughput DNA methylation data.

Single ventricle heart defects are present in two of every 1000 live births in the US. In this condition the systemic and pulmonary blood flow mix in the functioning ventricle, resulting in insufficient blood oxygenation to sustain life. As part of the palliation of these defects, the staged surgical procedure, known as the Fontan procedure, is performed. Here, the venous returns are directed to the pulmonary arteries, bypassing the right heart and forming the Total Cavopulmonary Connection (TCPC). Even though the palliation improves life expectancy, there are numerous long-term complications

Abstract:

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior<br>Estudos que abordem a acurÃcia das caracterÃsticas definidoras (CD) podem contribuir para o aprimoramento do raciocÃnio clÃnico, conduzindo, por conseguinte, a formulaÃÃo de diagnÃsticos de enfermagem mais condizentes com a situaÃÃo clÃnica do paciente. Diante do exposto, o estudo teve como objetivo determinar as medidas de acurÃcia das CD do diagnÃstico de enfermagem PadrÃo respiratÃrio ineficaz (PRI) em crianÃas e adolescentes com cardiopatias congÃnitas (CC). A amostra incluiu 61 crianÃas e adolescentes com idade de 5 a 17 anos,
