Single-cell sequencing provides clues about the developmental genetic basis of evolutionary adaptations in syngnathid fishes

Seahorses, pipefishes, and seadragons are fishes from the family Syngnathidae that have evolved extraordinary traits including male pregnancy, elongated snouts, loss of teeth, and dermal bony armor.The developmental genetic and cellular changes that led to the evolution of these traits are largely unknown.Recent syngnathid genome assemblies reveale

Use of a pediatric risk score for cardiac catheterization in a Spanish population with congenital heart disease

ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: Performing cardiac catheterization can be challenging regarding the management of congenital heart disease.Therefore, the use of risk scoring or grading systems can help us plan the procedure.Back in 2015, the Congenital Cardiac Interventional Study Consortium developed and validated a system called CRISP (Cath
