Article Abstract

CHARGE syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease that is typically caused by heterozygous mutations. A variant in a splicing acceptor site (NM_017780.3:c.7165-4A>G) was identified in a Japanese boy with CHARGE syndrome. This variant has been considered to be an "unclassified variant" due to its position outside the consensus splicing sites. In this study, abnormal splicing derived from this known variant was confirmed by cDNA sequencing.

CHARGE syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by variations in the CHD7 gene. The characteristic findings of the syndrome include coloboma (C), heart anomalies (H), choanal atresia (A), growth and developmental delay (R), genitourinary system anomalies (G), and ear anomalies and/or hearing loss (E).

Objectives: To explore the acute effects of a heavy-load resistance protocol and exercise in the supine position on fetal heart rate (FHR) and uteroplacental blood flow.

Method: In this experimental laboratory study, 48 healthy pregnant athletes (elite: n=7; recreational: n=41) completed 3×8 repetitions with one repetition in reserve in sumo deadlift, bench press and incline bench press. FHR and umbilical and uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) were assessed before and after exercise.

Background: Shoulder arthroscopy is increasingly common for treating various shoulder pathologies, but racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities in its use persist, especially as more procedures move to ambulatory surgery centers. Identifying and addressing these disparities is crucial for ensuring equitable orthopaedic care in the United States.

Hypothesis/purpose: It was hypothesized that racial and ethnic disparities exist in shoulder arthroscopy utilization.

Disseminated infection is a life-threatening disease that mainly occurs in immunocompromised patients. It is known for its multidrug resistance, and the management for disseminated conditions is not well established. We report a case of severe disseminated infection in a three-year-old immunocompetent girl with coloboma, heart defect, atresia choanae, retarded growth and development, genital hypoplasia, and ear anomalies/deafness (CHARGE) syndrome.
