Molecular Mechanism of Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension

This open access book focuses on the molecular mechanism of congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension, offering new insights into the development of pulmonary circulation and the ductus arteriosus. It describes in detail the molecular mechanisms involved in the development and morphogenesis of the heart, lungs and ductus arteriosus, covering a range of topics such as gene functions, growth factors, transcription factors and cellular interactions, as well as stem cell engineering technologies. The book also presents recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanism of lung development, pulmonary hypertension and molecular regulation of the ductus arteriosus. As such, it is an ideal resource for physicians, scientists and investigators interested in the latest findings on the origins of congenital heart disease and potential future therapies involving pulmonary circulation/hypertension and the ductus arteriosus.

The Respiratory Tract in Pediatric Critical Illness and Injury

The principal role of the respiratory system is to permit ef? cient exchange of respiratory gases (O and CO ) with the environment. The respiratory system is unique in that it is constantly 2 2 exposed to a barrage of foreign substances from both the internal environment (at any one point in time, approximately one-half of the cardiac output is received by the lungs) and the external environment (with each breath, the respiratory tract is exposed to pollens, viruses, bacteria, smoke, etc). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diseases of the res- ratory system were the seventh and eighth leading causes of deaths in children aged 1 to 19 years in 2003 [1]. Dr. George A...

Critical Complications In Pediatric Oncology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant, volume II

Pediatric oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients with a critical illness are a particularly challenging population with a unique presentation, diagnosis, and management. One in every three to four children with cancer will require admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) during the course of their treatment. Providing optimum care for these patients involves dedicated multidisciplinary collaboration to provide timely and appropriate management. Onco-critical care is a growing field of expertise for the care of this high acuity patient population. Recent work in this field has focused on sepsis, respiratory complications, and multi-organ failure in HCT patients...
