Birth outcomes of patients with isolated anorectal malformations: A population‐based case‐control study
Abstract In most patients affected by isolated anorectal malformation (IARM) the etiology is largely unknown. Thus, the aim of our project was to analyze possible risk factors for IARM. In the first step, birth outcomes of cases with IARM were analyzed on the basis of maternal socio‐demographic variables, and these data are presented in this paper. Gestational age at delivery, birthweight, preterm birth, low birthweight and small for gestational age of cases with IARM were evaluated in the function of maternal age, birth/pregnancy order, marital and employment status of mothers in the population‐based large dataset of ...

Expression of peptide fragments from proADM and involvement of mitogen‐activated protein kinase signaling pathways in pulmonary remodeling induced by high pulmonary blood flow
In this study, we investigated the roles of the peptide fragments from proadrenomedullin (proADM) such as adrenomedullin (ADM), adrenotensin (ADT), and proadrenomedullin N‐terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) during pulmonary remodeling caused by high pulmonary blood flow, and probed the possible involvement of mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways. Sixteen rat models of PAH were artificially established by surgically connecting the left common carotid artery to the external jugular vein. We subcutaneously injected an extracellular signal‐regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) inhibitor, PD98059, in e...

Issue Information
Development and morphology of the middle ear. The middle ear comprises the ear ossicle(s) and tympanic membrane. Although the jaw and middle ear bones in mammals and diapsids (modern reptiles and birds) are morphologically homologous, the tympanic membrane is attached to non‐homologous elements between them, suggesting that the tympanic membrane evolved independently in the mammalian and diapsid lineages. Further details can be seen in the article by Takechi et al. in this issue. (Source: Congenital Anomalies)

Truncation and microdeletion of EVC/EVC2 with missense mutation of EFCAB7 in Ellis ‐van Creveld syndrome
In conclusion, we detected two novel nonsense mutations and a partial deletion of EVC/EVC2 in two Vietnamese families with EvC. Moreover, we found in one family a missense mutation of EFCAB7, a possible modifier gene in EvC and its related disorders. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
