2. 6. Functional and morphological MR studies in congenital cardiovascular malformations

   Author : Catarina Holmqvist; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medicinsk instrumentering; tomografi; radiologi; Klinisk fysiologi; Contrast-enhanced MR angiography.; Coarctation; Intra-cardiac shunts; Conduits; Tetralogy of Fallot; Function; Flow; MR velocity mapping; Infants; Children; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Angiocardiography; Heart; Congenital heart defects; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics;

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to evaluate new MR techniques permitting qualitative and quantitative analysis of cardiac function and measurement of velocity and flow, and later on contrast-enhanced MR angiography, techniques largely unexplored in children with CHD. Infants with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect were examined pre-operatively. READ MORE

4. 7. Young children with atrial septal defect

   Author : Gustaf Tanghöj; Estelle Naumburg; Petru Liuba; Gunnar Sjöberg; Henrik Holmström; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial septal defect; preterm infants; adverse event; heart surgery; incidence; risk factors; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Background: Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD II), situated within the fossa ovalis, is the third most common congenital heart defect and even more common among preterm children. Spontaneous closure usually occurs during the first year of life. Most children with an ASD II remain asymptomatic during early childhood. READ MORE

5. 8. 12-14 week scan with emphasis on risk assessment for fetal structural malformations and fetal loss

   Author : Maria-Dorothea Westin; gynekologisk och prenatal ultraljudsdiagnostik Obstetrisk; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrics; gynaecology; andrology; Miscarriage; Malformation; Congenital cardiac defect; Nuchal translucency; Prenatal diagnosis; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Risk assessment;

   Abstract : The aim was to evaluate first trimester nuchal translucency (NT) measurement for detection and risk assessment of fetal malformations and fetal loss. 39 572 pregnant women were randomised to either a routine ultrasound scan at 12-14 weeks including NT measurement or to a routine scan at 18-20 weeks.

6. 9. Children with Congenital Heart Defects. Intellectual Functioning and Family Impact

   Author : Carmen Ryberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; intellectual functioning; self-reports; proxy reports; congenital heart defects; neurodevelopment; mothers and fathers of children with congenital heart defects.;

   Abstract : The purpose of the present doctoral thesis was to investigate intellectual functioning and the influence of the children with congenital heart defects in their families. We analyzed how the severity of the heart defect, the child's age, and the socio-economic status of the child's family were related to the intellectual functioning of the children and to the impact on the family.

7. 10. Developmental dynamics of cardiac progenitors and their role in congenital heart defects

   Author : Mimmi Mononen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cardiac progenitors are the fundamental building blocks of the heart and play a central role in the pathogenesis of congenital heart defects. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies have revealed that the cell populations in both developing and mature heart are more diverse than previously recognized. READ MORE
