congenital hypertension causes :: Article Creator MicroRNA In Blood Could Be PAH Marker In Congenital Heart Disease High levels of a small RNA molecule in the blood may be a marker of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in people with congenital heart diseases, a new study reveals. The study, "Expression and Diagnostic Value of miR-3591-5p in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension," was published in Lung. PAH is marked by high blood pressure in the vessels that carry blood through the lungs. People with congenital heart disease (CHD), a broad category that encompasses problems with heart structure or function from birth, are at high risk of developing PAH. MicroRNAs, often abbreviated miRNAs, are small pieces of RNA that regulate gene activity within cells. The impact of these small RNA molecules in human disease is only starting to be understood, but research suggests it could be immens...

pulmonary ntm :: Article Creator Combatting The Rising Rates Of NTM Pulmonary Disease Updated NTM pulmonary disease estimates in U.S. Medicare beneficiaries revealed rising incidence, demographic disparities, and associated comorbidities. Rates of nontuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM PD) have increased globally over the past two decades. However, national estimates of NTM PD incidences in the United States have not been assessed since 2015. Using a population-based data set of Medicare beneficiaries at least 65 years of age, Samatha J. Bents and colleagues provided updated estimates of NTM PD trends in the United States and insight into demographic heterogeneity in disease burden in high-risk populations. They also evaluated the relative prevalence of various comorbid conditions previously found associated with NTM PD. They published their findings in BMC Infectious Diseases. The researchers identified 59,724 cases of NTM PD ...
